Their voices don't even sound the same. Chappel Roan's voice is very twangy with a strong nasal whine in the background of her vocals. Hildegard's is crystal clear while nailing every note with perfect pitch. I much prefer Hildegard's voice.
@@esverker7018 me too. Still valid to object though… I learnt something because the objector explained why 🎉. Think I saw Hildegard’s beautiful face once
Honestly I can't figure out who's better at "parody" these people or Weird Al himself. Because my goodness the artist skill that goes into these songs is nuts. You take an existing ditty, and turn it into something all it's own.
Chappelle De Rohan (1298-around 1340) was one of the most famed and sought-after trouveres in the northern parts of the Capetian Kingdom of France - legend has it she was King Philip IV's favourite minstrel's favourite minstrel.
How narrowly didst thou miss Saint Cecilia's feast day, but three days past! Yet she must be pleased, for ne'er have the fruits of thy labor been so sweet.
The way it all makes sense not just rhythmically but also in the story, i.e. St. Cecilia being the patron saint of music so of course she's calling Chappell, or Calais being a major port city in Medieval times like how LA is a large modern city on the ocean, deserves to be talked about more (edit: not to mention sæterndæg!!!)
She mentioned on her patreon page that those two locations were picked for that reason, along with the southern lilt of Annecy and how it also sounds like Tennessee. 🙂 The dedication to detail in her songs is so satisfying, isn’t it?
hahaha as a Swiss to me they are so far away from each other. Annecy is half an hour or an hour from Geneva (so quite in the south) and Calais is where the canal is, very close to England.
aktschuwally: While they both belong to the modern country of France, in medieval times Annecy would not have belonged to the kingdom of France. It was a possession of the counts of Geneve and the counts of Savoy, both at least nominal subjects of the German Emperor. And lets not talk about the period after 1347 when Calais fell into the hands of the English! ;)
This is my experience with any song written after the early nineties, unless it's on a commercial or playing in a store somewhere. I kinda like it that way.
Thou hast summoned tears to mine eyes. The theme of this melody, in sooth, is cherished within mine heart. I lament for mine ancestors who could not dwell as their souls yearned. Yet, a fair and uplifting tune it is. Once more, a melodic marvel from the honorable Hildegard von Blingin ❤
Like seriously, something about this cross over came at my brain at a particular angle that has me crying happy tears. 😭💖 I love Pink Pony Club as an anthem of being authentic and happy, and adding a medieval fantasy element to it makes it feel even more wholesome, and closer to all the things that make my inner child truly happy. 💖💖💖
And this is why you are the absolute queen of bardcore. Such a beautiful song. Me and my kids are always singing and listening to your music on our way to our HEMA and Rapier practices. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talents with us.
@@JadeStone860 Closest I can find using middle english compendium is 'Hāt tọ̄̆ Gā': Old english spelling for hot, the era appropriate version of 'to', and a form of 'go'. But I legit got my forms of knave and naive mixed up in my og comment like a goober, so do with what you will with this knowledge. 😅
I feel like my SOUL now wants me to sing along with Pub instead of Inn. No offense to the tremendous work as always, Sister Blingin'. I just love the alliteration!
I can't explain it, but I started crying when I saw this video. it really hit me in a way I wasn't expecting. You're wonderful Hildegard 💖 thank ya for this Chappell Roan shaped treasure
Infected my whole circle of friends back from university days (medieval history at Germany's oldest university :)) with this song. We're in our fifties now. We love it!!! Joan of Arc - genious! As all your songs, Hildegard.
I am just staggered at how good this is. In one fell swoop you have raised my interest in bardcore, Chappell Roan, Saint Cecilia and last, but certainly not least, Hildegard von Blingin. Outstanding.
If I was a billionare, I'd hire someone to write and produce me an animated musical with you as the main role. What a wonderful piece, it's so natural, almost as if the song was written with this cover in mind. It makes me feel all sorts of things, but mainly I'm just grateful to be alive to witness this lol
this brought me so much joy upon this day at 2:30am haha you are a visionary! and as a harpist myself, i can't believe i'm just now discovering your channel. keep doin the lord's work 👏🏽👏🏽
It's an interesting experience to listen to a bardcore cover without knowing the original. Ah, damn it, this is the original to me! And it shall remain so! 😉
Someone mentioned this to me earlier today and I damn near lost my mind when I heard it. Hildebrand, you have gained a new fan. Thoust is instantly devoted to thee.
these lyrics are inspired i too wish i could partake in the myriad festivities to be sampled at the pink pony inn yet the enjoyment your songs bring continuously more than satisfy me so thank you again for everything you do
I love the rhyming of Inn with Sin! All your covers are amazing, but this one in particular is just hitting different! Honestly, the image, the wording, all of it is low-key giving me Brave vibes.
It's perfect! I wanted bardcore version of this song since I heard it! Great story, beautiful music and lyrics, and oh... I shall keep on dancing to this enchanting song!
I came across this video last week and I’ve been OBSESSED with all your covers. Idk why but it’s been a huge stress relief. I love your voice and medieval music and all the lyric changes are genius. Thank you for putting all this work into your covers
The way you adjusted the chorus to her mother telling her to be a nun and her saying she belongs at the inn makes me tear up. Heals some religious trauma ❤
I just paused to check spotify not realizing you literally uploaded this video less than an hour ago 😅 I am so eager to add all your new stuff on my playlist haha
Did you know that Camiers, a city "near" (less than 1h by car) Calais has a beach called Sainte Cécile Plage ? If it's the reason why Sainte Cecilia is in the song, it's a genius move, if it's just a coincidence, it's a genius accident (and the song is just wow)
@@liiiiich3n0nTheM00n Not really, I think my parents just both liked this name. There is also a song named Cécile ma fille, but I don't think it comes from that. I should ask my parents.
this is amazing I really just expected the bardcore version of the original, not a period accurate total rewrite but it’s so good, the effort that went into this must be rewarded!
Amazing!! I can't wait for my daughter to get home from school, she is going to love this cover!!! P.S Please, please consider doing Heart of Glass. Love your work
Thank you! It’s up on my Patreon for anyone who’d like it, no pressure to stick around. I’ll also probably post some instrumental compilations on UA-cam down the road.
I was having a really hard time getting out of bed today, and then I saw this in my notifications, and I no joke JUMPED out of bed. The vocals. The word choice. INCREDIBLE 🎉
Not beating the rumors that Chappel Roan has been Hildegard von Blingin all along

My next DnD game will definitely have a Pink Pony Inn
Magenta Stallion Club ftw, thanks DM Nicole 🤣
Yes!!
Every time someone enters the inn it triggers this song.
My current DnD game started at the Pink Pony Inn 😊
We have one. It's run by Chappell Gnome
I love how you adapted the text. Nice touch putting Saint Cecilia patroness of music to substitute Santa Monica.
❤
Honestly I can't figure out who's better at "parody" these people or Weird Al himself. Because my goodness the artist skill that goes into these songs is nuts. You take an existing ditty, and turn it into something all it's own.
I know!! Like, "thou't a pink pony girl, thou shouldst be a nun." Was so good!!!
WHAT WAIT
Somehow this makes more sense than the original to me
Chappelle De Rohan (1298-around 1340) was one of the most famed and sought-after trouveres in the northern parts of the Capetian Kingdom of France - legend has it she was King Philip IV's favourite minstrel's favourite minstrel.
😂
Thy favourite bard's favourite bard
Favourite minstrel’s favourite minstrel STOP 😂🪦
not to be confused with Chapelle de Roan (1277-1330) who is rumored to have made a poem about being the local noble's wife's mistress
lmaoo
"Let them call it a sin," is such a good line, and sung with the perfect confidence that conveys the entire tone of the song.
Honestly it's just such a quality boast. Like go ahead and judge me, see if I care.
How narrowly didst thou miss Saint Cecilia's feast day, but three days past! Yet she must be pleased, for ne'er have the fruits of thy labor been so sweet.
I had no idea! What incredible serendipity. 🙃
Silencio! Silencio! ✋🏻😩
“Thou’rt a pink pony maid
Thou shouldst be a nun”
Perfection. Gold. YES ❤❤
I agree - I couldn't help grinning at my screen when I saw that!
I didn’t even get to that bit before I had to pause it because I was laughing so hard, LA becoming Calais had me.

This better play at every renaissance fair from now on!
The bards are already clocking the chords!

Hilariously, Annecy to Calais is pretty damn close for a comparison. It's basically going across the entire country for both situations.
She mentioned on her patreon page that those two locations were picked for that reason, along with the southern lilt of Annecy and how it also sounds like Tennessee. 🙂 The dedication to detail in her songs is so satisfying, isn’t it?
I love it so much!
She also mentioned that her brother, known here as Friar Funk, helped find place names to match.

The way this made me cry harder than the OG version as i just imagine chappell in her VMAs knight armour fleeing a small village? Bye.
Sapphic bardcore stuff makes me so emotional lmao
Yeah I literally had chills so hardcore
sammmmme... the chills outlasted the song by a good ten minutes 🥹
They should bring her back just to sing this song in that armor
SHE SHOULD TURN THAT AESTHETIC INTO A WHOLE ALBUM
That line “let them call it a sin” is working overtime in this song and crushing it
This is my experience with any song written after the early nineties, unless it's on a commercial or playing in a store somewhere. I kinda like it that way.
Annecy and Calais is pure genius. It works on so many levels. OBSESSED
Finding out Sarah Z listens to the same music I do made me squeal inside
“I shall keep on dancing at the pink pony inn
I SHALL KEEP ON DANCING, LET THEM CALL IT A SIN”

Ancestral yearning is strong from the past. I feel it too.

Hail the Fencing Friar Funk!
She canonically wore armor. A perfect pick
milady, arise from thy slumber. Hildegard von Blingin' serenades us once more.
Chapell Roan needs to see this ❤
Omg she’d love it!
Saint Roan, surely.
It is my ardent wish that she would don her armor once again and perform this version live.
Loving a St Cecilia reference just a few days after the ACTUAL St Cecilia day haha.
Patron of Singers iirc
Grrr
This. is. so. GOOD. Lord, what hast thou done???
Ever since I first heard Pink Pony Club I have had "God, what hast thou done?" stuck in my head, I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one
This is one of your best yet! That's seriously high bar but this is ridiculously good!
You're seriously so talented. I was sick of this song, but now I'm going to listen to this on repeat.
Thank you, I’m afraid the price of making these covers is that I get sick of the songs in the process too. 😂
@@Hildegardvonblingin Fitting, as St Hildegard's own divine visions also made her sick.
Aaand added to my Yule Tidings song list
Edit: Now hoping the saints grant us a cover of 'Good Luck, Knave'
Good luck, Knave?
@TravellingTortuga lol you right XD
Or Hot to Go (not sure what a medieval equivalent would be).

Not "Good Luck, Maid"?
I KNEW THIS WOULD EAT
An absolute Thanksgiving FEAST
„Thou shouldst be a nun“ and „let them call it a sin“ are my favourite parts, but it’s all so good 🧡 Ngl I love your covers more than the originals.
"Where a Pawn can be a Queen." Just Perfect!
working both in contexts of hierarchy and within the queerness of this song.
You know, the deft hand at the lyrical changes is almost the most impressive part. Fantastic work!
“Bardcore” is a music genre I didn’t know I needed in my life.
Sometimes the UA-cam algorithm surprises me by suggesting something that I didn't know I needed in my life. This is fantastic.
Missed opportunity to call it "Pink Pony Pub" but regardless, LADY VON BLINGIN' DOST STILL SLAPETH!!! 🔥🩷
Hahaha somehow I didn’t even think of that one! 😅😂
I feel like my SOUL now wants me to sing along with Pub instead of Inn. No offense to the tremendous work as always, Sister Blingin'. I just love the alliteration!
@@Hildegardvonblingin Not too late for a quick punch in and video edit :) But Inn or Pub this is fantastic!
What could have been 😭
Nay, 'tis all good as "Pink Pony Inn", for the word "pub" did appear not until the fortieth year in the reign of our King George the Third.
I can't explain it, but I started crying when I saw this video. it really hit me in a way I wasn't expecting.
You're wonderful Hildegard 💖 thank ya for this Chappell Roan shaped treasure
Perhaps because of all the people at the time (and now) who were not able to run away and follow their hearts desire.
CALAIS OH MY GOD
AND ANNECY you're too clever
Hehe thank you, all credit for the place names to my brother the good Friar Funk.
I don't get it. Can you explain?
@@FortuneBound the original version is LA not Calais its just a good translation
I'm French so I was shook when I heard the words Calais and Annecy casually sung by the glorious Hildergard 🙏🙏

Your best lyrical work so far. Amazing!
I dare to disagree. Orinoco flow do it for me, tho lyrics here are fire!

Ah, damn it, this is the original to me! And it shall remain so! 😉
There are several songs I don’t know the original versions of and I don’t care to either, these are perfect versions.
Why not broaden your horizons and give the original a listen? If for no other reason to better appreciate the transformation.
I went and found the original just to appreciate this even more.
From the first lines I thought it was about Jeanne d'Arc, and then it took a turn I didn't expect.
Ok, I checked it out. It's cool, but this is definitely the better version.
This gave me chills like the original did, fantastic job as always you siren 😂
Fair Maiden Hildegard, twas such a wondrous ballad
Yes, I just want to run with the mummers and clowns to the Pink Pony Inn!
WHY AM I CRYING THOUGH OMFG this is so beautiful I hope Chapell sees this as soon as possible
I loved it too! St. Cecilia is my feast day on my birthday. Your music is a balm for a weary soul during these troubling times. Thank you!
What a delight! I love these converted lyrics and how well you always keep the spirit of the original!
Thanks so much! ♥️
It is amazing how your covers can make me fall in love with music that is normally not to my taste. Please keep 'em coming! ❤
Exactly my feelings. I have been hoping to find a band that does this very thing for years!
This suits so much. Utter perfection. Something about Chapel Roan just suits the Bardcore niche so well!
30 years from now I'm still going to come back and listen to all your songs. Each and every one is a piece of art and I love them all
Someone mentioned this to me earlier today and I damn near lost my mind when I heard it. Hildebrand, you have gained a new fan. Thoust is instantly devoted to thee.
DAPHNE! Thou must MAKE HASTE to this BANGER omg I’m just crying happy tears on repeat.
This the best thing in the whole world
I know saying a cover is better than the original is a cliche -- but this one truly is!
This is literally the best thing ever. 😂 I just found your account but I can safely say I found my people.
This is perfection incarnate, what a time to be alive
This makes me want to go to a renfair and open a tavern booth called the pink pony inn
For sure the world needs a lot more pink pony inns
