Hinton’s words highlight Napoleon’s quirks and triumphs: ‘He isn’t exactly a ladies’ man, but he’s the master of the battlefields.’ The repetitive chants of ‘Na-na-na-na-Napoleon’ give the song a catchy, anthemic quality. The musician creates a playful tribute to the French emperor’s larger-than-life persona.
