So this morning, when we should have been rushing around getting ready for school, we wasted a good fifteen minutes debating the merits of our own personal Top 10 Horrible Histories song lists.
Here are MY favourites, in ascending order:
10. Civil War song (based on West Side Story)
9. Cleopatra (a la Lady Gaga)
8. Pilgrim Rap (with thanks to Empire State of Mind - which I'd never heard of before this song, and I'm afraid to say I greatly prefer the HH version)
7. Boudicca ('No man, Roman, don't push around this wo-man!')
6. Suffragettes (after Bananarama; Horrible Histories really needs to put out a Just Dance disc)
5. Literally (Watch out, it's the Vikings! Or is it Guns'n'Roses? 'We're tearing up this town tonight - literally!')
4. Charles II (The King who brought back partying! Mat Baynton looks adorable in a long wig. Yeah, okay, I admit it, I have a tiny crush on Mat)
3. The 4 Georges: Born 2 Rule (there are those wigs again)
2. The RAF Pilots Song ('Take that, Hitler!')
1. And last but not least, my all-time favourite - Dick Turpin (Mat does Adam Ant: utterly irresistible!)

I love HH too. Even though we are in our late 20s and there are not often children in my house, it's still a veeerrrry popular show.
ReplyDeleteI also have a real soft spot for the Pachacuti song, even though it's v violent. "Make flutes out of their arms!"
And the stupid deaths song is very catchy.
Ah, yes, Pachacuti did make it into other people's Top 10s - it just missed out on mine! I love the way his wig bounces up and down in that song, it's just so silly.
