What is your favourite Horrible Histories song?

Me and DD have discovered horrible histories recently and it’s very funny not to say easy on the eyes. The songs are our favourites I think mine is Charles the 2nd King of Bling, though it’s very hard to chose one.

I used to watch HH with Dd2 loved it. My favourite song is The Few, or the Four Georges

Binglebong · 15/07/2022 08:23

The Dick Turpin song and The Few (RAF).

I couldn't possibly choose one!
My top three are:

  1. Dick Turpin
  2. The Four Georges
  3. Charles 2nd - King of Bling

Honorable mentions to the Kings and Queens song and the Lllama Farmer song. Oh, and Literally, of course Grin

I’m fond of The Four Georges and the Bad Roman Emperors 😂

Also have a soft spot for the Charles Dickens one that’s a parody of The Smiths.

Rosa Parks, New World, William Wallace, Charles Darwin, Joan of Arc…honestly, they’re all amazing.

So hard to choose, but I'd probably go for Dick Turpin and Norman Style.

Dick Turpin for your viewing pleasure:

Also love Literally

moggerhanger · 15/07/2022 08:39

I also liked Marcus Licinius Crassus, particularly as it was someone I'd never heard of!

my kids love the order of the kings and queens song and can all sing it (useful now in pub quizzes for the older ones!!)
