Homer and Jethro were an American country and comedic duo active from 1934 to 1980, composed of Homer Haynes and Jethro Burns. They were known for their satirical versions of popular songs, combining skilled musicianship with offbeat humor. Their distinctive style often incorporated elements of jazz into traditional country music, and their performances were characterized by humorous banter and virtuosic mandolin playing by Burns. Their influential works include the Grammy-winning song "The Battle of Kookamonga," a parody of Johnny Horton's "The Battle of New Orleans."
