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.

My favourite is Boudiccs, which of course will now be my earworm for the rest of today.

Born 2 Rule
the Henry VIII one (“some might say I ruined their livvvvvvves”).

Wasted on kids.

4 georges
the little mix one about female writers

We have watched Ghosts that’s how we came to find horrible histories. We have watched Yonderland and Bill too which we also enjoyed.

I think you should be my new best friendSmile

The Aztecs is brilliant. Jim is so funny in this one.

The one I got my name from, (although it's more of a jingle really).

Cheerybigbottom · 15/07/2022 14:29

William Wallace Scottish rebel and the pachacuti 😄

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 15/07/2022 14:29

All of them! But particularly The Few and Born2Rule. Agree with PP, wasted on kids 😂

Cheerybigbottom · 15/07/2022 14:31

This thread has just reminded me of all these fantastic songs/
Off to YouTube!

I love this one. All the double meanings are brilliant. It does, however, hang around in your head for ages.

Cleo-gaga is a CHOON! 😁 <gavel>

CeeceeBloomingdale · 15/07/2022 14:36

The are all amazing but my favourites are Boudicca and the monarchs song, mainly as I learned more history from that song than I ever did at school.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 15/07/2022 14:37

And Charles Dickens/The Smiths’ Morrissey complete with gladioli and Al Murray on drums 😂

JustDanceAddict · 15/07/2022 15:15

I only remember kings and queens/Henry VIII - need to get on YouTube!
Loved HH though (kids are 18 and 20 now!) and particularly remembered the Masterchef one as a classic…

Yes!!! Came on to say this!! We love Boast Battle! Genius!

lugeforlife · 15/07/2022 16:21

The kings and queens song, the Darwin one, the factory kids and Richard the third (for the amazing line 'can you imagine it, I'm the last Plantagenet).

I will also admit that at certain times (tired, stressed, hormonal) I have been known to tear up at the Victoria and Albert song.

LoveLarry · 15/07/2022 18:01

OP. if he asked me to, I'd sell up and run off with him. He's so funny and clever
