Charles II Rap - The King that brought back partying ...

[erastes]

It's a shame this video is in black and white, (because it wasn't on the original Horrible Histories show) but it does have subtitles which might help people - it's completely brilliant - but then, Horrible Histories is completely brilliant and I wish I'd invented them, I'd be very very wealthy by now...

My favourite part, in pure Eminem rhythm... The Great Fire a London was a whopper/ In my reign London city came a CROPPER/ So this king did what was right and Proper /For the fire proved I'm more than a bopper...I'm a fire stopper.

Isn't it great? "Ollie wasn't Jolly..."

The king who brought back partying! Good for him!

The King - of Bling!

Hilarious.

I know it's a kid's show, but it's SUCH a GOOD kid's show (and historically factually accurate) - and i would give my eye teeth to work on it, as they look like they are having so much fun.

LOL!

I didn't know about Horrible Histories; thank you!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Just a BRILLIANT series. And it's only just begun series 2 - and it's hugely better than series 1.

[iulia_linnea.livejournal.com]

And I've just found it on YouTube and feel that, in the coming hours, I will have cause to curse you for posting about it. :P

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Heh heh! Yes, I think that all of series one is up there....

ALSO - check out the series "I'm sorry I've got no head." which is also there i think. very silly, english humour but head and shoulders above any adult humour around now.

*sings*

"Divorced, beheaded, and died . . . ."

*shakes fist at you*

These are so much fun! I'll look for the headless humor. :D

[erastes.livejournal.com]

OH I LOVE Divorced Beheaded and Died....

You wait until you get to ....

"I'm a knight, I'm a knight and I'm a knight...."

[iulia_linnea.livejournal.com]

Damn it! I'm on a deadline! I'm going to completely ignore it now, I can see that. Which is the knight one?

That's great, so is "Wife Swap: Spartans and Athenians." Well, there goes the rest of my day. (Thank you!)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

The wife swaps are wonderful. there's a Restoration one too.

Sorry

Okay, 'fess up! You and c_smith_author did this. Didn't you? :)

*g* I always stop what I'm doing and watch this with my kids. I love Historical Hospital, and Stupid Deaths... oh and the four Georges boy band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwmSL3-Y77k

[erastes.livejournal.com]

All my favourites too.

The new series is brilliant - they have Historical Paramedics which aren't actually from the past, they just get to the site of the accident before the real ambulance.

I love the four georges!!

I like the leather fire bucket. If they taught history this way kids might actually learn something...

Genius.
