Horrible Histories: Victorian Inventions Lyrics

[@emmyjo720]

I love Ben's voice in this song.

[@khorkienjoo5292]

Just one little oversight... *Booom!* Me: Are you alright?

[@marleybu7984]

I love the Horrible Histories programmes. Used to watch it with my son. The books are good too. Makes learning fun!😁

[@eleanorjames284]

I love this song! perhaps dynamite wasn't such a helpful invention though. :D

[@orribleeric]

+Eleanor James Yes it was very useful.

[@alexanderip1003]

dynamite is helpful in tunnelling and mining after Alfred Nobel infuriating reaction about dynamite being used for war he funded the Peace prize to stop war once and for all under his name

[@phoebeartemis5367]

But can the victorians really claim dynamite seeing as the guy who invented it was a swede.

[@lukesanderson7608]

That researched with British grants in a British university with a UK patent? I think we can at least share the credit. The man was a Swede by upbringing but later in life traveled everywhere, I supose it is a matter of opinion and I shall not impose upon yours :)

[@Inkyminkyzizwoz]

@@phoebeartemis5367 This song is about things that were invented during Victoria's reign, not necessarily in Britain

I love the Generation Game reference towards the end. 👍🏼 -Kat

Victorians did not invent trains. The inventor of trains was Richard Trevithick and the first steam locomotive was built a long time before queen victoria.

[@adamtreloar3575]

First fire powered train was Victorian

[@Inkyminkyzizwoz]

@Edward Dam Actually, it was Robert Stephenson - Robert Louis Stevenson was the writer. Also, it was in 1829 - eight years before Victoria came to the throne

[@emmyjo720]

@@Inkyminkyzizwoz It was during Victorian times that trains and train tracks were built....It was Sir Robert Peel that brought in the railway regulation act...

[@jackdoyle7453]

Wasn't concrete from roman period

[@nuhhao]

Jack Doyle no im roman times they pit stones and rocks down for road the victorians made tarmac and the material for road

[@manserk6531]

No the romans did indeed have concrete. But the recipe for it was rediscovered by the Victorians.

[@moriartidemonfire7883]

No Victorian’s made concrete

[@timothy2817]

😉

[@jaymurray8272]

Alfred Nobel made dynamite and he was sweedish not British

[@MossyBag]

Well.... it was in the Victorian era

[@hephsmith3738]

It's still in the period

[@Inkyminkyzizwoz]

This song is about things that were invented while Victoria was on the throne, not necessarily invented in Britain

[@geraldcomps1606]

Awesome song #dontgoinschool

You lucky 🍀

[@random_commenter6904]

No it’s not music hall it’s musical

[@caseyhedges5699]

It’s music hall.. you know.. the Royal Albert hall...

[@lorenwood4357]

Rockets were invented by the Chinese thousands of years ago and concrete was invented by the Romans

[@hephsmith3738]

I think they made the modern versions

[@sofiamunoz-botero8561]

THE CHINESE invented ice cream toilet paper molten steel and some of the things here so this horrible histories song is inaccurate.

[@AdvanceAU]

Yes, that's the case. But, however, it was in the Victorian era that ice cream became commercialised.

[@neptunestardust]

Yeh in ancient times and then it was just China not all over the world Remember Queen Vic had the British Empire which was vast and they could do trading

[@tvandgaming5410]

in fact ice cream is from itally

[@doughnutplaytime7657]

TVandGaming no

[@overthehill2023]

Ice cream is from Italy and the victorians didn't create it, as the song states, the victorians simply put it in a pot

[@tbalciunas333]

The Victorians did not invent the light bulb -- Nikola Tesla did.

[@bloodmoon0205]

That's up for debate I was taught in school that it was Joseph Swan who invented the light bulb. Most Americans believe it was Tesla but in Britain we believe tat it was Joseph Swan who invented it first

[@anthonyfieldhouse7437]

Thomas Edison not who ever you said

[@tbalciunas333]

Anthony Fieldhouse 2 Tomas Edison stole it from Tesla and claimed it as his. If Edison had not stolen it, we would have free electricity for the entire world.

[@mercywaterfield3657]

Mr. Mustachio I think they're representing the era, not necessarily Great Britain. They mention other inventions that aren't British.

[@gavin24866]

Mr. Mustachio Thomas Edison invented the light bulb
