Horrible Histories - Pilgrim Rap

[@DrumsTheWord]

This is just a kids programme...but it makes me smile from ear to ear. If you haven't checked out this show before, then please do. You'll make me a lot happier knowing that such great writing/acting/comedy doesn't go unnoticed....even though it's "just for kids" :)

[@lolamacgregor9360]

Yeah I'm a child it's encouraged me to listen more about history even my dad who hates everything likes this ITS THE BEST SKETCH SHOW EVER SO WATCH IT

[@laurenconrad1799]

As an American, it is so cool to see the British take on this story.

[@zadainspace]

I agree!

[@michalopitz]

I´m "Pilgrim rap" addict and can´t stop... Everyday I have to listen this song.

[@yuecarstairs]

"126 pairs of shoes in his pack" LOL reminds me of the bob hale one, he says "that's some pretty weird priorities if you ask me"

[@fauziakausar6357]

Wow this comment is old 0-0

[@iszykhatayin]

"Well, I'm from Newcastle, can we call it New Newcastle?"

[@lorayix960]

Nah

[@eleanorhogan8643]

I laugh at that bit, I love Simon Farnaby.

[@theemirofjaffa2266]

Man was out of touch 😅

[@janetalee443]

Love this music, love Horrible Histories forever 💙

[@MoonLight-np4wx]

This song is criminally underrated.

[@tnecniv1952]

This is a brilliant show. Still learning stuff while I laugh.

[@user-vd2jk7dl3p]

Awesome ! I'm using this video as part of our homeschool lesson plan on the pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving ! Thanks guys!!!

[@idougahill]

'can't call it England, let's call it New England' - awesome. American and hooked!

[@Carsox]

This is absolutely brilliant.

[@bedwarguy5771]

Yes it is cool

[@meganscarlett-white8338]

Larry..."Build shelter in the bays...or is it baize?" Funniest line and his rhythm and comic timing is perfect here!

[@soundwavs1961c]

She has a cute voice! I like this one . You guys are great!

[@spazzy69]

Fabulous! The songs just keep getting better and better. And Simon can dance - who knew?

[@StridingArcher]

LOVE Larry, and his rapping!

[@rripley86]

I didn't even notice that pun and Larry's face until my fourth watch through!

[@2Twilite2]

'Does this mean we will meet, with da feet?' xD Probably the best line in the song.

[@howtubeable]

Great video. I love Horrible Histories. Hello from America!

[@Peter-wv1dx]

Larry's face when he says de-feet.

[@spazzy69]

Agree. I had to listen to this, Charles Darwin and the Greek Thinkers a few times before I really appreciated how good they are. The exception is the RAF song, loved that the first time I heard it.

[@StaybreezyURSIN]

Totally using this to help me teach, ha! I'm an 8th grade U.S. History teacher... the kids will love the cheesy awesomeness of this video.

[@emibarrow3637]

Awesome I know this off by heart

[@okeeffearan2]

Isn't it amazing how America was formed from such a small amount of people to begin with

[@spazzy69]

Ahhhhh, would have been lovely to see! I'm Australian, so miss out on a lot of HH related things. Thanks for responding!

[@spazzy69]

Took a farmer and a builder and his wife... and Larry... and Larry's shoes.

[@_erinbulkeleyyy]

OOOhh my gosh I luv this song its the best XD funny thing is I've been singing the tune through out the day loool whilst doing my studies :) I luv the dancing to this tooo :) whats HH without these amazing ppl yeah.Yeah!!!

[@declaroh]

I love it when you can get the song they're parodying right away! Sometimes I struggle a bit with guessing what it is, but this is Empire State of Mind, which just makes it funnier to me. :)

[@Miss65boo]

Love it! New Newcastle! Hoot hoot!!

[@SausageDogss]

haha Horrible histories never fails to make me smile Love it :)

[@Thekingofcustard13]

no food no water but hay 126 pair shoes LIVING!!!

[@YSLH]

I did wonder at first if I'd created the pun in my head as I was the only one in the group of people that I was watching it with that laughed. But Larry's face totally gives it away. Pretty sure he wrote that one himself xD

[@Krazymann234]

Well... if you're too bored to find a name for a town...

[@Spooner22]

One of their best yet

[@caitlinh7449]

I think I find 1:55 a lot funnier than I should... I've seen this lots of times and I still laugh!

[@76NiGhTsHaDe67]

[@louishudd5417]

[@Wanderlust_Regal]

did you see the sea turtle on the ship?

[@ianj1828]

i love the horrible histories. thanks for posting

[@SuperstarzZzify]

Name of the orginal song please! :)

[@Sossery]

Actually, back then, most English people pronounced "r"s the way Americans do today, so the Pilgrims' accents would've sounded more American than English. I don't think they stepped off the Mayflower talking like a bunch of New Yorkers, though.

[@kgs42]

Just fabulous ..... pitch perfect ..... Nothing even slightly wrong. Superb song - maybe the best HH song. This or The Few ....... on balance, this - just - imo.

[@ErinCumberbatch]

I love this song so much :)

[@LegoLordSith]

wats the originl song cos i know that the backgrand song is from a achrl song

[@GleePerformancesProfile]

[@ameliainc1]

[@HHDocwhoamericangirl]

I hear: "catch eel for our meal build shelter in the bays"

[@zsupersaiyan]

Anyone knows what the original song is called??

[@ellie2829]

How did I never see this one!

[@JelledeMoes]

I live in the city where the pilgrims left from Holland (Leiden). but the only memorial thing of it in the city is a plaque on the church. further was thanksgiving also a kind of the 3 October party from leiden (the party where we celebrate we were freed from the spanish in the 80 years war) they took the party with them and made it thanksgiving.

[@rosawatts5780]

167 pairs of shows, no it's not sad, it totally makes sense

[@bankrobber6993]

I'm grateful the Netherlands was mentioned even though it was just for a second XD

[@TheMarshalMurat]

Do you come from new Hampshire?

[@iwearabowtienow]

which episode is this from?

[@Vergast]

I love the idea of Squanto teaching these people how to grow food. Seeing as the pilgrims raided Indian graves for bowls and pretty things.

[@VulcanTrekkie45]

I'm a New Englander born and bred. You Brits would be really surprised how many place names we stole from you guys.

[@tnecniv1952]

'the native say 'not' but they ran when we shot.....'

[@skullglider98]

To be honest, this song i actually really good. Better than most rappers now days (drake, montana, tyga, lil wayne and all those other illuminati fake heads)

[@blueberryblast1]

what's the origional song

[@hotwheelsbingbang]

they're doing English Country Dancing, like Morris Men still do. This passed on to the Appalachian communities (have you seen 'Deliverance'). The Irish are not the only ones to dance that way - just that Americans picked up on it.

[@sophiemacomber6537]

I used to live in Massachusetts. I've been to Plymouth a few times

[@TapiocaPenguin]

Oh Simon... you strange man!

[@videoweirdo12]

brilliant video

[@elysseussy]

does anyone actually know what 'chutter in the baize' means???

[@mr13579100]

well...Thanksgiving was removed as a national holiday for a while. Then it came back...Got that form Alton Brown, host of Good Eats!! :D

[@isobelmacleod1925]

ooooh this parody of new york is the best thing i've ever seen

[@mitchell12375]

you are correct

[@hannahlumley859]

can we call new new castle haha simon

[@Alia-gj7wt]

I love this rap!

[@peerzadazayyanahmad]

It's 'build shelter in the bays' as in Massachusetts Bay Colony.

[@lukevandewiel1]

I have deciphered a bit of that verse: Catch eel for a meal, _________ in the bays (as in the sheltered harbour areas). That might help someone to get the rest of it. I have tired but no clue.

[@Will1328ofwillund]

i love this song, dont know why its just catchy.

[@LiveLoudandLiveAlive]

And proud of it!

[@RegosAwesome]

As someone from Newcastle the end cracked me up. :)

[@AmeliaPond1997]

what is this song based on?

[@ErinsboroughAmy]

LOVE This!!

[@kgs42]

Martha is brilliant in this - but then she always is.

[@StridingArcher]

lol same here he's so fit!!

[@sorornoctis]

I didnt't think it possible that the HH songs could get any better, but voilà...

[@oscarmikefoxtrot]

I'm from old England and proud...

[@broadwaystar191]

I'm from new England and proud

[@po157]

more calm than most of their songs but still very good!

[@MrPancake777]

Empire state of mind

[@revinhatol]

Soft Rock, I like it!

[@bannanacupcake7]

series 4 episode 4. its one of the new ones.

[@prawn2003]

New York! :D

[@missameliapond11]

yeah she's gonna get a sore back

[@verilyheld]

Ah, the Puritans! Wanting to worship in their own way, and make all others do the same! The Puritans, furious at the thought that somewhere, sometime, some one might have fun!

[@lukevandewiel1]

That's it!

[@philegan2000]

He is not saying 'chutter in the baize' or 'build shelter in the maze'. He is actually saying 'Caught gill for meal bill chopped up in the baze'

[@bazza9760]

I live in the city of Plymouth UK. I have seen the place the pilgrims left from

[@BigJoe950]

Love it.

[@TheEmofreak333]

Yes it was.

[@ronariverah3909]

with a Most HH sketches it makes fun of of History via other mediums, this case it used a certain music video to make fun of the Pilgrims

[@blueflame080979]

1.43 he's carrying a load of shoes for simon to carry cos he's crazy
