Can we talk about how genius the Horrible Histories songs were. It’s a show for kids and they’re out there making parodies of Adam and the Ants, The Smiths, Eminem, David Bowie, Take That, ABBA… and they made them SO catchy and put in so much effort and for what?? The videos too?? I’m specifically thinking of the music video they made for The Thinkers, which they edited to make it look like a music video for a Monkees song… and the lyrics. Don’t even get me started on the lyrics.
“Can you imagine it? I’m the last Plantagenet!”
“More than fifty words to leave your lingo…” (in a simon and garfunkel parody)
