Ranking all the Horrible Histories songs! (Series 1-5)

[@jamiedoestv]

Here is the template so you can rank them as well! I'd love to see what your rankings are so tag me on twitter or Instagram (@jamiedoestv on both) if you do create one! tiermaker.com/create/horrible-histories-songs-jamie-688958

[@acuber2793]

My favourite line ever out of every Horrible Histories song is from King Richard III “Can you imagine it? I’m the last Plantagenet.” It’s so good.

[@jamiedoestv]

Ah yeah so good, thats going to be stuck in my head for ages now!

[@robertk2194]

beaten by Henry in the wars of the roses.

The Tudor dynasty didn’t care that much for me

As average as I'm A Knight is, can we make sure that if the Six Idiots are ever Knighted, they need to remake it with their actual Knighthoods?

[@jgreen7100]

I still know all the lyrics to the Monarch song (which is probably not actually a good thing if you're Irish) and the WW1 Cousins song genuinely helped me in my leaving cert history exam. Some of these songs I actually prefer to the originals (very controversially, I prefer the Darwin song to the David Bowie original). George IV song is my favourite though and I'm so glad you're giving it the recognition it deserves! I've considered asking the composer for the sheet music because it has some beautiful piano! Richard 3 also criminally underrated.

[@jamiedoestv]

Last tine I tried to remember the monarchs lyrics I got like 75% right so Im happy with that! George IV and Richard III are both sooo good, I love them so much!

[@louisejackson233]

Sorry, I gotta fight you on those season 5 placements. Alexander and the original Tudor are S tier, they’re constantly stuck in my head!

[@TV-ly3dp]

Same, the songs are just amazing.

The soundtrack to my CHILDHOOD!!!

[@jamiedoestv]

Honestly the best soundtrack!

[@michaelmcdonagh5833]

FUCK👏ING👏SAME👏

[@tranquilitybasehotelcasino2932]

Richard III, RAF pilots and Literally are my top three, just love them!

[@Als15165]

My favourites personally are Original Tudor, Richard III, Borgia Family, and Charles Dickens. I do really love the 4 King Georges and the other more popular songs, because I just love most of the songs.

[@Luuuna]

My family is fairly patriotic, so hearing British Things for the first time *really* stuck with me as a kid - even in the years between me watching HH as a kid and rewatching it as an adult, British Things was the song I could remember the most lyrics of (besides the monarchs song). So I probably rank it higher in my head than it really deserves in terms of actual quality of song 😅

[@citrus8944]

original tu tu tudor done DIRTY

[@jamiedoestv]

sorry!

[@bibidanaher2355]

For me when I think horrible history songs I think of the "I'm the original tu- tu- tudor" and several others

[@imjustanotherjess]

Great ranking! I agree with most of your opinions but I think the William Shakespeare and the Quills song is really underrated. I’d probably put it in B or A if it were me. 😊

[@GhostBM]

Oh, what a coincidence 😂 I’ve been listening to the majority of their songs today. My favourite is the one sang by Ben Willbond (the one about Alexander the Great.) I like Cleopatras a lot... It’s a hard pick who would come second but I know for sure Alexander the Great is my favourite :)

[@natasham4184]

Yesssss I'm so excited to watch this! I still watch the HH music videos more regularly than I should as a 20 year old 🤣 I might edit this comment and add my personal all time favourites Edit: It's too hard to narrow it down to my favourites, I'll be forever obsessed with about 90% or them. The Monarch Song has helped me out the most in life though! 😂 Edit again: Omg I'm so happy Mary I is your favourite! It wasn't a particular highlight in my childhood, but I've been a huge Kate Bush fans for a few years so revisiting it now I have a huge appreciation for it. Definitely Sarah's best moment in the show!

[@jamiedoestv]

Never too old to watch horrible histories! Hahah it was soo difficult to separate them all, theyre all so good!

[@natasham4184]

@@jamiedoestv Very true!

[@MArmes-fn8lq]

You might as well have included the specials there is just the christmas songs, Flame, Death's favourite things, Love rats, and WW1 cousins

[@Plumazz96]

Love this tier list, horrible histories was so good 🙌🏼

[@jamiedoestv]

Its the best!

[@evilgoose6768]

Georgian Navy and Owain Glyndwr are very underrated in my opinion Also in terms of post season 5 songs, the Mambo No. 5 parody where its Queen Victoria talking about her Prime Ministers is actually probably S tier for me, even when considering seasons 1-5

[@blushingzephyr]

just started watching and if pachacuti isn’t high up on this list I am going to scream

[@BerserkGoblin]

You forgot Flame, Death's Favourite Things, Love Rats, and World War I Cousins 😭

[@jamiedoestv]

Yeah i left out the songs from the specials because there were so many songs!

[@melissadahl7561]

One of our shows in America has the Presidents song (The Animaniacs) so I decided I wanted to memorize the Monarchs song (and it took me a while and I had it stuck in my head for ages until I finally got it done. It's so catchy and along with the Richard III song (a lot of the songs with Jim in them are my favorites), and the Matildas and Henry II with all the ABBA references.

[@lpsftw8572]

Are we able to have a link to this tier list? I'd love to sort these out so me and a friend can politely argue XD

Jamie: *Talking about the songs...* Me: *starts singing them...* Parts Series 1, and Almost all of Series 2 and 3 are the songs of my Childhood...I got busy with actual History class by the time Series 4 and 5 Aired.

[@Healpastlives]

Thanks for this! I agree with a lot of your choices... but my top three are: 3- The Original Tu-tu-tudor, 2- Boudica (Martha version), and 1- It's a New World (because it is about my country: USA!). You have given me lots of HH songs to find! Thanks again!

[@ben0astle]

As a proud Ricardian, thank you for the sweet king Richard III song ranking. It's a brilliant song and is so real!!!

can you do some videos on Yonderland too? : )

[@thewerewolfofwaggawagga8818]

Fun Fact: there's no evidence that Blackbeard actually ever killed someone!

[@dubbingsync]

But he’s a pirate so that’s going to a staple of his character regardless of historical evidence I think.

[@bluellama2348]

Mary I song rules!!!

[@lydiamaps2658]

My favourite songs are the second caveman song, monarchs song, Richard III and Jack heartland song.

[@dubbingsync]

I remember working a Horrible Histories show and they did the Plague Song in that… though I didn’t realise that until I rewatched the show.

[@Colonel_Scarface]

Hey, do you mind if I use your thumbnail for reference, I’m making a full HH tier list and I wanna shout out other people who also did it.

[@jamiedoestv]

Yeah of course! I'd love to see your tier list when it's done!

My favourite is between The pioneers of transportation song and The Georgian Navy song

[@rubydrury7631]

the original tudor and mary I are my faves!!

[@noahrussell2043]

Agree with the majority of your rankings, but wouldn’t have myself have put the RAF boy band or Transport Pioneers nearly as high. Charles Dickens is at least A for me and the Borgias at least a B. Also personally think the top category needed to be spilt in half, for the ones that were that notch above the other really good ones, for the likes of Dick Turpin, Charles II and Charles Darwin etc. 😁👍 I think I can still do 70% of the King of Bling lyrics, but probably not all in the correct order!

[@jamiedoestv]

Yeah i was tempted to add another tier because so many are deserving of tip tier but others are just in a league of their own!

[@A_Mini_A]

I find it funny because when I expect everyone to like a song, you put it on the lower tiers. I think my favourite ones aren’t the most popular. My favourite is Borgia Family. I also really like Georgian Navy and The Civil War songs (all that you put in D lol) I also think some of my least favourite songs are The Suffragettes, British Things and Georgian Lady.

[@Chazder.MP3]

i just call the ABBA parody the Horrible Histories ABBA song

i loved blackbread song TBH

[@maiajarvis404]

Yeah the newer series only have one good actor in the cast in my opinion, the only skits worth watching are when Richard David Cain is on screen because he gives mad sassy vibes and I love it.

[@Eas697]

I never expected this to frustrate me as much as it did. Personally would've ranked some song why higher and others way lower.

[@dubbingsync]

If they’d managed the pronounce Glyndwr correctly that song would be an easy S tier song.

[@arianneiannetta2051]

I love Owain Glyndwr and Alexander the Great songs
