And yet geopolitical reasons would probably mean they'd all get pissy, vote for the country next door and Britain would come bottom 10...as per But yeah nah I wish Britain could serve up something like this, ngl I miss Horrible Histories 😊
I’m an Australian teenager, and to all the Brits here, rest assured this incredible masterpiece is played every Saturday, Wednesday and Friday in Australia. It’s legacy will live on! Everyone from my generation and country know the words to every song and adore the show, we will carry this masterpiece through decades to come. This is the first show I’m showing my kids in 10 years time.
Me too. I was an immigrant who couldn't speak english. I remember this being one of the first shows which wasn't animated that I loved. My friends at school would make fun of me for continuously saying Literally.
Yes, I live in West London, I am guess ing you are French? France is nice, we have a cottage in the South of France. My family used to be French until the French revolution when they had to come to England, they were aristocrats so people would have tried to kill them.
:O Wales is not much different is it? I have only been into the mountains (it was amazing, we had 2ft of snow in an hour!!!) but from what I see on TV of Wales it seems similar.
Horrible Histories was so educational, humourous , and yet so exotic and romantic, I loved all the cast. Jim ,Terry, Tom, Sarah and last but not least, Matt. It told me so many things, i'm up into tears now. Xoxo.
In my opinion, Horrible Histories was one of the best TV shows of all time. Packed with educational content and an amusing, star-studded cast, who were exceptionally talented. Also, in the Viking song, that solo is one of the best solos of all time!
FootballNotSoccer MRN Well yes but, no. Vikings Came from Denmark, Norway and the southern Parts of Sweden, however a lot of the Irish population is Viking due to them holding down Ireland until it was conquered by Britain.
@@R_manuu you can buy them all on DVD. I'm in Australia and love the show at the tender age of 48 lol. In all honesty I've learnt more about history watching this than 12 years of private education!. Should be mandatory in all schools.
I have just discovered this absolutely delightful show. I'm a middle aged American and I really wish there had been something like this when I was younger. It's still not to late to enjoy it, though. I have been watching some every day for the past few days. The songs are great. Thank you, Britain, for another comedy masterpiece that is more than just comedy. Truth can definitely be stranger than fiction.
I don't think I'll ever love something again quite the way I loved this show. If my childhood had a soundtrack it would be nothing but Horrible Histories songs, and the original cast will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for the memories, guys.
"You'll die or become a slave to me, though the slave's often get chucked in the see if the boats heavy, yeah yeah!!!" my favourite lines in the song.
I'm 48 and my Child is just about to have his 21st birthday but I have to play these songs/playlist everyday regardless of my age and you're right they could be any number of Rock Bands out there as they sound just like a real Rock Band. LITERALLY!!😊❤🎶🎸
10 years ago the greatest program to ever grace British tv screens came about. Thanks HH and Terry Deary for everything you’ve contributed to our country’s society.
THIS IS IT! After my dad told me how he hated the word 'literally' as people use it always in the wrong context, this was stuck in my head since! But I didn't know where...
I share that pet-peeve with your dad! I can barely refrain from whispering, "Figuratively!" every time I hear someone misuse literally. I also object to everything being described as amazing. Really? You're amazed by that toast? I really enjoy toast, but I'm never astounded or awestruck by it. I sound like a really fun person to be around, don't I? bwahahaa!
I actually have a t shirt of this song. And everyone compliments me of it! I'm a sad middle aged woman, but when I wear my "Literally" t shirt I get so many friends, thank you horrible histories
I think this song is a parody of "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake, especially since they are from Middlesborough, which was a Viking stronghold in the early middle ages.
It was the summer of 793 When we sailed across the Great North Sea Comets crossed the skies that night Must have known something wasn't right We arrived upon your English shore And you offered friendship But we wanted more Yeah, so much more! We're tearing up this place tonight Literally! We're gonna set this sleepy town alight Literally! We'll kill and steal and burn and drink 'Cause us vikings don't care what you think Woah oh oh! Let me in, won't you please We're here to raid your monasteries We're primed and ready to attack And we love how monks just don't fight back You'll die or become a slave to me Though our slaves often end up in the sea If the boat's heavy! Yeah, yeah! You're gonna lose your head, my friend Literally! We're gonna getcha in the end Literally! And I'll drink a toast from your skull 'Cause we're vikings and that's how we roll! (Play that axe, Ragnor! ) We're gonna paint the whole town red Literally! With the blood of the dead Literally! We'll take everything that you own And get back on our ship, and go back home Woah, oh oh! We're going home Woah, oh oh! We're going home Woah, oh oh! We are going home Woah, oh oh! We are going home Woah, oh oh!
Brilliant show - and the songs were so good (better than most you hear on the radio). I think this was one of the best and there was talk of them doing a UK tour at one time. However unlikely it may be, I hope these guys reunite and end up back on that show - it's not the same without them!
I remember watching this band in Scandinavian clubs before they got big! I couldn’t believe when I heard this song on the radio for the first time, and it still rocks me as hard as it did back then (literally)!
This was one of my favourite songs from horrible histories.such a sick tune. The years have flown by. I remember watching this in history and tutor in year 7 so much
The genius of this song is that they're making fun of rockstars who try to act tough and say violent things... but the Vikings LITERALLY were tough and violent, hence the chorus
Horrible histories was the reason little me became absolutely obsessed with anything history!! I honestly became such a history nerd , and it’s because this amazing masterpiece made it interesting for my hyperactive brain
That awkward moment when this song is actually better than some songs from the charts One of my favourite songs from horrible histories✌🏼️miss my history lessons watching this...
I love horrible histories its the best they tell amazing facts and you take them in with the catchy songs that are amazing I watch it all the time they are amazing!!!
I´m swedish and live in the country´s sixth largest city - and one of the oldest (over 1000 years old) - named Västerås.Yes, it´s the same name as in Game Of Thrones... Anyhow, were I live (in a village in Västerås) we have runstones and a viking king´s grave + a ship, burried just a few meters away. The whole village is built on a viking sociaty. I´ve never thought about it before, couse it´s nothing special for us swedes really, but it´s kind of cool actually. :)
This program is for more than kids. I love the show and love that YT has mixes of my favorites. Well, most of their episodes are my favorites. Too bad there's not a mix of eps with just acting AND music together, like the cavemen of the early seasons who did the cave paintings & making nan's head after she died with Ugg & add the caveman songs of love and the one with Matthew singing about the different caveman while playing the piano. The rock themed songs are my absolute favorite, along w/a touch of disco like "Ain't Stayin' Alive" by the Aztecs. This video, though has my favorite, OK, one of my favorite actors in it. At 2:04(ish) he looks at the camera and makes the women who's watching, heave a big sigh. At least my D-I-L, eldest granddaughter & myself, anyway! You can see hearts in the eyes of my granddaughter! Weird to probably a lot of people, but not to us. I really wish the 1st troupe of actors hadn't left. The show was never the same.
Horrible history's was literally the best programme ever
+Jake Allwood Histories
and yes it was but it was 2009 when it came and went

Horrible histories the best thing on tv

Crybaby Elsa some of them are from the original
+Crybaby Elsa I'm sure there is. With Rowan Atkinson etc. The old cast all left together, and that's why they made Yonderland, Bill etc., isn't it?
Why is changing the cast bad?
"Let us in, won't you please,
We're here to raid your monasteries.." Love it; so clever.
We're primed and ready to attack, and we love how monks just don't fight. Ahh I love this song so much!

0:18
Saxon: "Welcome to Britain."
Viking: "PILLAGE THE VILLAGE!!"
this is, in my opinion, the best HH song ever. i just LOVE IT. ITS SO GOOD. NO IM NOT JOKING.
I know more about the history of Europe than my own continent, Asia, because of this program...
England: gets invaded by everyone
Also England: Invades everyone
It’s called payback!😁
Conquered everybody BUT Scandinavia
I think you'll find that applies for most countries
Britain invading Denmark in 1807 just to destroy and steal its ships: "Ah, victory."
This & the RAF song are my husbands favourites ❤❤
I love horrible histories its the best they tell amazing facts and you take them in with the catchy songs that are amazing I watch it all the time they are amazing!!!
This song brings back so many memories. Just me and the boys, rocking out and raiding coastal villages.
Best TV show the BBC ever created. Loving 'Ghosts' too.
