I’m on a thread chatting about Ghosts and HH obviously gets mentioned quite a bit and not wanting to derail that thread I thought I’d start one to talk about our favourite HH songs and skits.

I love so many of them it’s difficult to pick a favourite but I’ll start with Literally. So many heavy rock memes it’s fabulous...literally!😀

The English Kings & Queens song is a work of cockney knees up genius Grin

William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John... OI!

BreconBeBuggered · 08/05/2019 15:37

Love the Blackbeard song, and the factory one. So many to choose from, though, but as I don't think anyone has mentioned the latter, here you go

@ElGuardiandenoche the outtakes video is amazing! 😂😂😂

MagicKeysToAsda · 08/05/2019 15:56

The four Georges for me
And also "I'm a knight, I'm a knight...and I'm a knight"

RedBerryTea · 08/05/2019 16:31

Charles II for me - the King of Bling.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 08/05/2019 16:43

Love HH. That out-takes video had me crying with laughter!

Justlikedevon · 08/05/2019 16:55

I told Matt Baynton off for the Singing in Urine song as my dd thought it was hilarious and it became my worst ever earworm due to her incessant singing of it.

Toddlerteaplease · 08/05/2019 16:55

Divorced beheaded and died. I love HH!

BrillyPribble · 08/05/2019 17:00

Charles Dickens/morrissey makes me laugh so much. But Marcus Licinius Crassus and Minted is the best, just love it.

waltersdog · 08/05/2019 17:01

My year 7 class were obsessed by the Richard iii song when we did a topic on the Princes in the Tower. I love the Dick Turpin/Adam Ant one, and the Take That / RAF one - 'Take that Hitler' !

waltersdog · 08/05/2019 17:02

Also the Suffragette and women of WW2 Girl power songs - good for teaching women's rights !

7Days · 08/05/2019 17:03

Matt Baynton.... sigh

CasparMum · 08/05/2019 17:05

The Henry VII glam rock song. Can’t remember what it was called but it was brilliant

TightPants · 08/05/2019 17:09

For some reason the visuals to this are not on YouTube but here’s the Dickens/Smiths song. A masterpiece Grin

CasparMum · 08/05/2019 17:17

No, changed my mind, Marcus Licinius Crassus. Minted.
There’s so many

LIZS · 08/05/2019 17:19

Patchacouti, Charles 11 , Aztec Priests Ain't Staying Alive, Battle of Britain boyband is really poignant, Vikings Literally ...

64sNewName · 08/05/2019 17:20

The Aztec priests Bee Gees one. Their Gibb voices are amazing. “We’re not nice” Grin

UncleMatthewsEntrenchingTool · 08/05/2019 17:22

Marcus Lisinius Crasus or Charles II The king of bling

ilovebagpuss · 08/05/2019 17:23

My favourite is the WW2 pilots but DD12 and I really love the Magna Carta boast battle.

UncleMatthewsEntrenchingTool · 08/05/2019 17:24

Oh though, Richard the third - Can you just imagine it/I’m the last Plantagenet

That’s a good rhyming couplet.

StoorieHoose · 08/05/2019 17:27

Adam Ant/Dick Turpin and the Smiths/Charles Dickens ones

Mathew Baynton tis very sexy in both

BoglingToAswad · 08/05/2019 17:34

Charles II, Richard III and the Boudicca
