My students wanted to sing this song for extra credit on the Age of Absolutism test. They know more about Louis XIV than any other person in history, I think.
😭 😭 IN HIGH SCHOOL I WAS OBSESSED WITH THESE VIDEOS AND I WAS IN LOVE WITH THE SONG TELEPHONE AS WELL!! ITS LIKE TWO PRECIOUS MEMORIES MERGING, THANK YOU
I think my favorite one is the French Revolution parody (Bad Romance) because I love the acting in the video, the poses you do and everything is so over the top & crazy, which oddly FITS for some reason??? Also the lyrics to that one are hilarious. "Walk, walk, scaffold baby, guillotine was going crazy". "Bread! Bread, or we'll stab you dead"... XD.
Louis is still more admirable. He manage to live so long in a time when there is no modern medicine. Also, Louis was a monarch with actual powers, the Queen can’t even express her personal opinion on a lot of things.
When we had a test about Louis XIV last year, I remembered a lot of information from this parody and only had to translate them to my native language, so thank you!
Some people think this distrust led to another effect. By requiring all nobles to keep apartments at Versailles and stay there most of the time (to keep an eye on them,) he brought them all into a situation where their main activity was trying to outdo each other. And one of the major ways they did that was with parties and banquets. This put all of their chefs in serious competition to impress, and, according to some historians, led to the refinement that made French cuisine world famous.
I may have missed it, but I didn't catch anything about Richelieu. Richelieu was the real driver of the policies that we now attribute to Louis XIV in the earlier part of his reign.
These song parodies are so creative, it's nice that you can sing & create so many cool lyrics. I can't sing at all lol, but it's awesome that there are talented people out there who can do stuff like this.
Idk how you do it, but you have so much talent in making these songs!! It must take a while to write, then produce the video. I wish I found out about this channel years ago when I was still in school. Who would think this song goes so well with French history? 😂😂
Like most french people he hated bathing, but he refused to bathe even when needed, enough that he just doused himself in perfumes to hide the odor. Gross.
I have a really stressful year 6 leavers play where I have to sing a solo and I’m hella stressed. So I’m using this song to practice! Thank you so much!

Great video. Although I think saying that France won the War of Spanish Succession is a bit of an oversimplification. Philip V won the Spanish throne, but he also renounced his place in the French succession so France could not gain an enlarged empire and upset the balance of power. Austria also gained more provinces (The Spanish Netherlands, Naples, Sardinia, Tournai etc) than France did (only gaining The Principality of Orange and the Ubaye Valley).
we "NEED" one for El Malinche- amazing figure, greatly misunderstood - and hardly taught north of the border. "traitot"? - hardly - a slave that used some white folk to destroy the mortal enemy of her people... is how we see it. The Tx confederation, not the Aztecs, are the ancestors of the people. ps- this one, like most- is dang brilliant.
Pls sing about usa beautiful west coast history since 1774 as usa people are unable to understand it n do not need about war for independence war of white n red rose summer of love n hippy war in vientnam about people u are killing and all other shit sorry I can't sing I'd sing about Benjamin Franklin n Kennedy sitting in kffc drinking cola or better marry smb to be a mom .it's the best decision.u have a chance for Europe scene without this shit . 😊there won't be another chance like Cooper don't loose time for loosing worldwide respect
Imo, you are a TROLL. I also have gotten similar comments on my channel like this surprisingly - I believe MOST of these hate comments are from PAID off people.
I did research and it is true that YT does pay people to make hate comments & attack content creators, doesn't surprise me because they are a CORRUPT company. Many hate comments like this also come from bot accounts.

Very fun. A very welcomed return. Loved the old videos. Was a very charming take on history. Hope you continue with more stuff.

one critism, you left out the reason he ruled so strongly- as a youth there was a rebellion among the nobles. he never trusted them after that.
The Fronde
This was addressed in the lyrics "stop balling".
Some people think this distrust led to another effect. By requiring all nobles to keep apartments at Versailles and stay there most of the time (to keep an eye on them,) he brought them all into a situation where their main activity was trying to outdo each other.

I may have missed it, but I didn't catch anything about Richelieu. Richelieu was the real driver of the policies that we now attribute to Louis XIV in the earlier part of his reign.
That's why he made them move to Versailles, so he could keep an eye on them and make sure they never rebelled again!
I love these musical parodies. Please keep doing them!
I'm so glad you're back!

Is this on Apple Music?
This is a legit bop!
Magna Carta pleaseeeeeeeee 😍❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
It’s coming!
THIS SLAPS WHY DIDNT THIS EXIST WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOLL WHAT THE FUCKKKK
FINALLY
Can you please do a parody of Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation” and make it about Winston Churchill?
2nd the motion! He'd be ideal!
never stop
Carlos II of spain with the song I Am My Own Grandpa would be cool.
They were both pretty inbred to be honest!
This was released on April fools day💀💀💀

I consider him quiet interesting too
Could you make a song on World War I?
Already written! Just need to record

Does anyone know where the Theodora video went? It was to the tune of Norwegian Wood. I know there used to be one several years ago!
I wish this was on Spotify
I love your videos. Could you make a video about Friedrich Schiller? You could use "Thriller " from Michael Jackson.
I wonder what songs would mesh well summarizing the reigns of Queen Victoria, the hanover Dynasty, and Queen Elizabeth II
Cool
Oh my god - I watched these then I was 9
I would use more French lyrics. Instead of “I am Louis quatorze” I would say “je suis Louis quatorze”
increible
Yes, his second wife was Madame De Maintenon!
suggestion: use vampire by olivia rodrigo to speak about Romanticism in Literature
The French referred to him as Louis Le Grande, or Louis the Great!
Louis XIV would be proud!
Except he would have preferred if the whole thing was in French....! ;)
