When Iggy says 'From the cradle to the grave' its a reference to the making of the UK into a welfare state, i.e various care for everyone in the country (as of a bit after WW2 I think). So basically he's saying he'll look after his people and its kinda cute (if you get the reference at least).
Yeah, its from the Beveridge report. He said something about Britons needing to be insured and cared for 'from the cradle to the grave'. Here, en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beveridge_Report Courtesy of UK GCSE history lessons
PrincessTeutonicKnight Nope. not that phrase I don't think. It's a British reference man. Big British thing with the free healthcare and all that jazz.
+Holly Mason i listen to all of his character songs everytime, and everyday XD, even though my favorite character in this anime is japan and america XD
i forget which one but i believe i heard that one of the voice actors for england was cought arrested and convised of pedophelia or something like that................................i thiiiiiiiiiiiink i might have been the english voice actor but iḿ not sure
***** i heard of that app before but i haven't tried it yet, I must say hetalia fandom is never ending because it's everywhere xDDD AND I'M PROUDDDDDDDDDDD
I find it funny how all the other Iggy fangirls are like "omg he's so cute!! Marry me Britain!!" And I'm just sat here in all my platonic/patriotic love for this guy who is literally my home going "pfft what a dork"
America if you start usuk in my comment chain I will fly over to you and punch the ground, thereby punching you (nothing against usuk or anyone who ships it it just gets really irritating seeing the ship everywhere when you don't ship it please don't start a shipping way either ;v;)
Alfred Freedom Jones Hello..I didn't think I would see you either. I guess it was sort of by chance, I was just scrolling around the internet and came across your comment.
when i was a tween i was absolutely OBSESSED with aph england, and now here i am several years later.. with an english/scottish/irish partner who loves alternative music.. time is a flat circle!
Oh this dork...he's adorable, for a quasi-immortal representative of a soggy island. And for ordinary people too, I guess. He's just that much of a dork.
@@lazilyymade Honestly, it's embarrassing after all these years that I'm still back to this. Was like, 10 years old or something, and now in college. But, I will be the first to admit - this song still is an absolute BANGER.
@@zandkingdom Nah dude I feel you, I definitely share the cringe memories associated with being in the Heta fandom for my whole adolescence🤣 But for me, the music I listen to these days is so stale that it's nice to come back to these tracks, which are way more timeless than I thought. No shame in nostalgia!
@@lazilyymade Oh, absolutely. These songs are totally timeless. C'mon, the music industry needs to step up, when a CHARACTER song of an anime is one of the best bops out there. Can't even compare.
Lmao I haven’t joined the Hetalia fandom since this year and reading the comments of other ppl who say they miss their good old days of when they were prime hetalians makes me somewhat feel nostalgic,,,
I always thought that this song sounded more like the opening to a shounen anime than a hetalia character song...but it's still great!as long as you don't pay too much attention to the lyrics.
it's been about 8 years. even now I come back to these character songs. it's been about 8 years since I fell into this pit called hetalia and I can't find my way out.
How about now, three years later? I thought I was out for good when I drifted away about four years ago, but hey, I listen to one song for nostalgia’s sake and now it’s all I can think about. :/ Doesn’t help they released a new season.
***** Yes, I know, and I can hear sometimes he does the 'a' sound wrong - he says it the American way, which is more like 'ah', while in England we say it 'ar'. I think all the voice actors for the English dub are American... is it so hard to get English speaking people from each country? It would sound much more realistic that way.
I'm guessing Your English (obviously) and OMG THATS AWESOME!! WE SHOULD BECOME BEST FRIENDS AND GO ON AMERICAN/ENGLISH ADVENTURES TOGETHER!! AND THEN DISAGREE OVER WHICH COUNTRY IS BETTER! lol just kidding but that's cool.
not just that, youtube removed most of them for copyright purposes... Like the 1 million views 'Pub n go'... I was a bit disheartened when they removed that...
Am I the only one imagining Prussia being the one who's rocking that guitar? It just reminds me a lot of Prussia rocking the broom from a Gakuen Hetalia episode in A Beautiful World lol
Felicia Kartika Oh, I really don't ship it, i just thought it would make people laugh. And it doesn't matter what you ship. people can like what they like.
Noriaki sugiyama is England's voice actor as well as sasukes voice actor from naruto. He's a singer and that's why he has such a god given voice xD I need some lessons!
I love this song! England it's my favorite character, he's so cool and dreamy... I just hate that some people love him because his voice is the same as Sasuke's, from Naruto. I just want England to be loved because of himself, not because some girls go like: OH MY GOD IT'S MY SASUKEEEE!!!
I was watching Sasuke singing scenario on December last year, when people in the comment section said that he sounds like England from Hetalia. Curious, I went to search England’s songs and well...I just singed up myself into the fandom XD. Because of his voice actor, I discovered new animes that I never watch before such as Black Butler, Bleech and Norn9. So basically I heard 5 versions of his songs from 5 different animes. And I can’t understand why people said that his voice sounds the same. Of course the tone almost the same ( he’s more to high pitch) but at least i can caught the slight differences between each songs
A British gentleman singing about magic and fairies. Nope, nothing's wrong over there.
Tasha Aleia Not a thing!
Of course not :)
There is nothing wrong here
Arthur Kirkland nope its completely normal! X3
Nope.. Nothing wrong with it.
Completely normal.
Nothing weird, whatsoever..
TOO normal, also. ;3

Or it's just a punk thing to say... I think a lot of punk artists yelled that kind of thing...
PrincessTeutonicKnight Nope. not that phrase I don't think. It's a British reference man. Big British thing with the free healthcare and all that jazz.
It's industrial revolution
I can't be the only one who thinks England has the best character songs, can I?
+Holly Mason Nope! I have all his character songs on my playlist.
DubsAren'tCool ,SubsForTehWin same
+Holly Mason i listen to all of his character songs everytime, and everyday XD, even though my favorite character in this anime is japan and america XD
Nope your not alone my friend!
I think so too. He's also my favourite character
Whoever voices Arthur is an angel.
I want to meet him.
I have, his name is Noriaki Sugiyama. He’s sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
SEXY
its Sasuke VA actually xD
i forget which one
but i believe i heard that one of the voice actors for england was cought arrested and convised of pedophelia or something like that................................i thiiiiiiiiiiiink i might have been the english voice actor but iḿ not sure
The funny thing is that he voices two anime characters I'm obsessed with
Rory Kirklnd It was the American voice actor. His name is Scott Freeman and he was arrested for having child porn on his phone.
I still believe he draws his eyebrows with a pen.
He draws his eyebrows with a rainbow.
he uses the stripes on his flag
It's the reality.
America problery burned then off once so he drew them in again XD
Camilla Bacchiocchi That is legitimately the best thing I have heard today thank you
*"No pain no gain! Orders are orders!"*
Whoa.
*"All's well that ends well, that's right!"*
((England is now in my top five fave characters.))
(song starts playing)
Me: *starts headbanging furiously* HELL YEAH! THIS IS MY JAM!
every time.
yeah!! france's voice actor got dizzy from headbanging for 1 min xDDD
***** i heard of that app before but i haven't tried it yet, I must say hetalia fandom is never ending because it's everywhere xDDD
AND I'M PROUDDDDDDDDDDD
LynChanDesu- same XD
LynChanDesu- omg sameeeeee
I find it funny how all the other Iggy fangirls are like "omg he's so cute!! Marry me Britain!!" And I'm just sat here in all my platonic/patriotic love for this guy who is literally my home going "pfft what a dork"
An adorable dork
America if you start usuk in my comment chain I will fly over to you and punch the ground, thereby punching you
(nothing against usuk or anyone who ships it it just gets really irritating seeing the ship everywhere when you don't ship it please don't start a shipping way either ;v;)
I live in America and I still punch the ground not only that but it's Florida so I'm punching him where the sun doesn't shine
I'm also an American, and while I love Brits, America is the hero!
MeoTheRandom I do both XD The conclusion I have come to is that he's adorkable XD
"From za crackle, to za grape!"
Oh my god 😂😂😂
Omg It does sound like that! 😂😂😂
Also at 2:58 "Afternoon to do a psycho!"
+PirateUnicorn oh, it does :D
PirateUnicorn Oml that's hilarious XD
Why does Iggy have to be such a good singer?!?!
XD
I just am, Alfred. It obviously comes naturally.
Arthur Kirkland O////O
Arthur Kirkland HEY ARTIE I DIDNT THINK I WOULD SEE YOU HERE BRO!!!
:D
Alfred Freedom Jones Hello..I didn't think I would see you either. I guess it was sort of by chance, I was just scrolling around the internet and came across your comment.

Alfred F. Jones This just got interesting. **sits down eating England's scones while watching** (I am eating them to be polite).
Roderich Edelstein I like how mostly every one sings! Have you heard France?
Arthur Kirkland hey, Iggy! Could I give you cooking lessons in exchange for singing lessons? XD but seriously, your voice is just...awesome!
used to play this in the car all the time with my mom when i was 9. now i’m 16 - i couldn’t be any happier with how i spent my younger years.
Wow, that picture of like, four Englands, it's just like... And his voice is like, really...*drools all over keyboard*
Ikr
drool all over drawing tablet. (ironically is drawing spain)
"From the cradle to the grave!" That line was so deep. ;_;
England your inner punk is showing >w< not that I don't mind~
God fucking damnit, it's been years, but yet here I am again. how does this keep happening
we cant leave 😭
The trauma won't let us go 😭😭🤣🤣
This used to be one of my fav videos back when I was absolutely into Hetalia in 2012. Younger me really was something.
What about now?
It’s still one of my favorites
Same oh my prime weeb days😂
god i miss this phase so much, i wish the fandom was still alive like it was about 10 years ago
Oh this dork...he's adorable, for a quasi-immortal representative of a soggy island.
And for ordinary people too, I guess. He's just that much of a dork.
SOGGY ISLAND I’M-
here in 2020 and i still think england has the best singing voice out of all the hetalia cast
His songs were bops in my freshman year of high school and they still are in my last semester of college 😭
Goodness - another one going back to their nostalgic days 😭
@@zandkingdom A fellow cultured individual 😆

A british gentleman who is also a pirate who can see magical creatures... Bloody hell this is too much for me 😂
is it just me
or does this song sounds like a green day-ish song?
Yes!! I thought I was the only one :3
Big Green Day fan here! ^w^
It definitively sounds like something that could be on nimrod.!
holy f^$k .............. your right....................!!!!!!!!!!! *GAAAAAAASP* WHAT IF!!!!!!
Rory Kirklnd Lol.... He might be part of Green day.
Yuri Plisetskyaf HE WANTS TO BE THE MINORITY!
It's 2020, I am a grown adult and still listening to this shit
2022 here, i turn 20 in a few months. It bops hard as hell
Yeah me too 2022
2022 and I'm worried my neighbors think I'm some crazy adult, but nah, I'm going through my second teen age dream
Am I the only who was jamming the whole time I was listening to this?
Who doesn't
+Shoyo Hinata You were not the only one
+Shoyo Hinata Nope.
+Shoyo Hinata Nope. No one can resist the Englishman's voice and a guitar.
+Shoyo Hinata No, no, no, you weren't.

Still in my hetalia phase....10 years 😭 still going strong
ok but the second england damn, booty game strong and I should really go to sleep
And the last one steals booty XD
AAAAAAA IMM i have no memory of posting this comment send help
This is literally me right now in one sentence
Lmao I haven’t joined the Hetalia fandom since this year and reading the comments of other ppl who say they miss their good old days of when they were prime hetalians makes me somewhat feel nostalgic,,,
Either way this song is definitely my fav
welcome, you'll never leave! enjoy your stay
@@damianbraginsky4125 Welp, I yeeted myself in a hell which I can't leave, I might as well enjoy it--

I thought that i could escape hetalia....but no.... The songs are too catchy!!!!!
A moment of silence when you realize it's the same voice of Sasuke Uchiha
I want to hear Sugiyama sing this song as Sasuke x3
I/////|
Imogen Wright that would be awkward XD
_* ARTHUR'S VOICE IS MY DRUG._
ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
ITS AWESOME!!!
Idk why, his voice always makes me feel so calm everytime I listen to his song.
イギリス人のコメントを読むとイギリスに対する解像度がより鮮明になって最高
it's been about 8 years. even now I come back to these character songs. it's been about 8 years since I fell into this pit called hetalia and I can't find my way out.

How come he sounds so sexy in the Japanese version, but come the English dub, he sounds horrible? _-We English don't sound like that... at all XD-_
I think he sounds awesome in English! His accent makes everything better 030
Alexis Feliciano Oh... XD We don't sound like that though, trust me XD

I discovered hetalia when I was in 7th grade and now I'm a college sophomore... now im back here again 💀
I want England, Italy, Germany, and China to sing a song that will put me to sleep.
*Starts snging really quietly*
Yao Wang 【China-Kun】 Hi China!! U r so cute when ur singing :3
Xiao Wang 2p!China?!?!?! What?!?!?!

Thank GOD i'm not the only one.

His voice is amazing!
Hello darkness my old friend, it's 2019 and I'll never forget this
Before : just fangirl
After : SUPER FANGIRL !!!!!!!!!
ENGLAAAAND !!!!!
A lot of my favorite Hetalia songs are no longer available in my country T^T At least I could still listen to this
Same here! I dun understand!!! I NEED MY HETALIA SONGS!!! ;~;
+The Pastry Queen D: That is sad.. :(
:(
not just that, youtube removed most of them for copyright purposes... Like the 1 million views 'Pub n go'... I was a bit disheartened when they removed that...
7 years later and this shit still sounds beautiful to my ears
"the seven seas are like my backyard. romance and plundering" I think that is my favorite😊
a british gentleman singing in japanese..... makes sense
A British gentleman singing in engrish… makes sense
the 75 dislikes are most of the countries that england colonized
First time I heard this I was _NOT_ expecting that last belted note.
England's voice gives me eargasms
In BLCD, actually Yes
im not gonna lie this is still a huge comfort song for me :,^]
same dude
for some reason I remembered this song today.... I just had to listen to it again for the good old times
hears guitar solo. Starts air guitaring. Brother walks in.
I remember watching the seiju panel back in 2011 on TH-cam and England va singing this live
WTF ENGLAND UR DA BEST SINGER IVE EVER HEARD OMG TEACH ME
*listening to dis song* Iggy u became my second fav hetalia
He sang this while he conquered other ppls
Is it bad that when i listen to Hetalia songs i can imagine them all at karaoke night with them all singing their songs?
England was to busy singing to take care of America as a child
This song is the only song that never bores to me and it always makes me happy
It's been years but I still love you
Am I the only one imagining Prussia being the one who's rocking that guitar? It just reminds me a lot of Prussia rocking the broom from a Gakuen Hetalia episode in A Beautiful World lol
I think it is England who rocking that guitar. He is(was) a punk.
I'm not gonna lie.. I've been addicted to this song for a month-
((who's watching this in 2016? is it only me?))
Nope.
The fandom never dies my friend.
+21jett Gaming the hetalia fandom shall spread!!
+Koito Minase YES!!!
+Koito Minase Absolutely!!
wow... Just when I thought nothing could top pub and go... Good job, Iggy
god damnit England, you have an Awesome voice
I don't know why,but this song makes me cry...
I WAS LISTENING TO A PLAYLIST ON SHUFFLE AND THE SONG BEFORE THIS WAS RELATIVELY QUIET AND THEN THIS CAME ON AND HOLY SHIT
“A winning army that will never accept defeat” are you sure about that, England
are you sure
Ah, ballocks, I fangirled to hard. Whelp, better go fix my voice box...
katb721 *Bollocks..Sorry
Oops, I meant we need more people like iggy I'm the world. Mostly gentleman with some punk and occasionally pirate.
Pfft, gentlemen are stupid, I'm too busy being a hero.
come on Alfred we all know you like Arthur
Felicia Kartika Oh, I really don't ship it, i just thought it would make people laugh. And it doesn't matter what you ship. people can like what they like.
Hey the gentlemen comes before the hero
Rin okumura
Nice guys DO finish first, well, after, that is, hotties with good asses......... ~cough cough Spain cough cough~
***** Yes it is, don't lie.
Ok Iggy dude is now my favorite character chang my mind
Hi I'm back to relive my childhood
Iggy, you are just so..... *fangirls*
Within 3 seconds of the song, I was smiling
I don't know why but I feel like the beginning would be the background song during a battle in Splatoon...
When the song makes the broken English actually sound good... plus Iggy's hot so~
So much nostalgia listening to this AAAAA
For some reason, I fell in love with how Iggy sings at 1:04, it sounds so pleasant to listen to, honestly.
Noriaki sugiyama is England's voice actor as well as sasukes voice actor from naruto. He's a singer and that's why he has such a god given voice xD I need some lessons!
Park "dat ass" Jimin yep XD
I didn't realise but
I was swaying side to side for the whole song
That voice!!! I love it!
I may have broken the replay button... *sweat drop*
xX I am London Xx 0:00 0:00 0:00 0:00 0:00 here, have a few more
I love how in hetalia there will be words that are from the certain countries language. It just make things so colorful~
I love this song! England it's my favorite character, he's so cool and dreamy...
I just hate that some people love him because his voice is the same as Sasuke's, from Naruto. I just want England to be loved because of himself, not because some girls go like: OH MY GOD IT'S MY SASUKEEEE!!!
I was watching Sasuke singing scenario on December last year, when people in the comment section said that he sounds like England from Hetalia. Curious, I went to search England’s songs and well...I just singed up myself into the fandom XD.

This has got to be one of the best character songs in Hetalia, like, ever.
The voice.....! I LOVE IIIIIIIIIIT! Best duet= England and Japan!
We'll, I've seen a lot of Hetaloid duets with you and England. And they are SO AWESOME
I never even watched Hetalia, why am I enjoying this song so much?
Because this song is just that good 👌👌👌
His voice melted me. Thanks for uploading!!
I love England's Japanese voice, so soothing and still has that slight harsh edge on some words ... Absolutely love it!

Proud to be British for the first time.
HOW CAN HE BE SUCH A FUCKING HOTTIE AND SUCH A FUCKING GOOD SINGER AT THE SAME TIME?
A few years ago i was able to do a project on busby's chair. Busby hated everyone who sat in the chair
