Your favourite Horrible Histories song

[ElGuardiandenoche]

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 boyband RAF one is probably my fave, but I genuinely laughed out loud at the Morissey/Dickens one when he appeared swinging the gladioli. The Kate Bush one is good too. I sat on the bus is quite moving.

Hard to choose but if I had to I’d probably say Dick Turpin. “Got stitched up by a postie, that’s not glamorous, that’s lame.”

I recite the kings and queens song to myself when I can’t sleep

Charles II “the King who brought back partying!”.

The World War One Cousins, the Charleston style really tickled me.

Blackbeard song.
Born 2 Rule
The Viking One.
The RAF one. They all look criminally gorgeous in the uniform.

William, William, Henry, Stephen
Henry, Richard, John, oi!

BOUDICCA. London Colchester, St Albans. Everybodys talkin 'bout, DEAD ROMANS

The dick Turpin one.

OMG stupidly happy to talk about this subject🤣🤣Family favourites include
We Sell Any Monk - first thing I ever saw on HH and I laughed so much !!
Richard III - oooh it's a wasp..
Patchacuti- because Matthew is brilliant
Dick Turpin- Matthew as a Highwayman 😍
My daughter's talent is naming every Queen n King from William the Conquerer- thanks to Kings and Queens Song

"Stay clamer if you want to harm a llama, call a llama farmer...." 😂

It has to be Literally - who knew Laurence Rickard could look so smouldering as a VIking?!

The Simon and Garfunkel Viking song is also really clever.

I have such a crush on Larry. That smoulder......

Llama one
Mynameis Charles II
Both Boudicca ones
Liderally
Richard III
V&A
I'm Minted
Aztec one in the style of the Bee Gees
Dickens one in the style of the Smiths
The Original Tudor
William the Conqueror
Cleopatra in the style of Lady Gaga
Dick Turpin

One or two of them, y'know how it is, watching kids TV ...

Love Larry in the raf uniform too !

And the RAF one and the Rosa Parks one actually make me cry.

Yy to Larry as s Viking.

And Mat as, well, anything really.

And all of them in uniform.

Kings & Queens I think, but I do tear up a little at the finale ‘We’re History’ when the original series’ finished.

The William Wallace, Scottish Rebel one. I love it.

Just place marking for the summer holidays .....

Lovely memories of singing "Do the Patchcuti" with DS when he came home from primary plus Charles II the King of Bling.

Easily the Bloody Mary / Kate Bush one. Never fails to make me laugh.

However...

I do often find myself singing 'Stay calmer : when you want to harm a llama, call a llama farmer' around the house...

Charles II (Eminem?).
Mary Seacole.
Magna Carta.
Pachacuti.

There's way too many too choose from.

Gotta be the Dickens one to the tune of Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now.

Mathew Baynton: runs thighs

I think this is my favourite thread ever.
4 Georges for me, but I love most of them!

I am so glad I'm not the only one who sings the Llama Farmer jingle around the house.

I can't pick a favourite. Possibly Born 2 Rule but I have read the thread going 'Ooh perhaps that is my favourite' over and over. I do love the Kings & Queens one as it's great and I have happy memories of dd belting it out while we were swimming in the sea on holiday :)
