these are great for making history lessons more entertaining to middle and high school students. do a little research about which periods of history are taught in which schools, compile a sample DVD and see if individual teacher supply stores and school districts are willing to buy them. I know individual teachers would buy lots of them at teacher supply stores. a quick google search can help you find tons based on where you live, assuming you live in US. I would guess the UK has some, too.
I don't really like this season's songs, maybe because I still remember the brilliance of Season 4's songs and these are not very good by comparison. But I love this song cos I love Simon, and he finally got a complete and utter solo.
A few years late, but whatever 😄 I got this from Genius.com: I'm Marcus Licinius Crassus No rich man could ever surpass us Wanted people to say I was brave But I lost my first fight and hid in a cave Living there could be a pauper's nightmare But if you're rich like me then you don't care I called my slave to the cave to ask it To cook a feast and lower in a basket Those Romans think they're minted But they ain't rich like me You can't call yourself loaded Till you can buy an army Ran Rome with Pompey and Caesar They're more famous than me But I'm the worlds richest geezer There's no-one richer than me I'm minted! I back General Sulla Everyday my wallet got fuller Took the land off enemies to flog it Used the cash to fill my pocket If I heard of a house on fire I'd rush over and be a quick cash buyer My fireman would then douse the flames, boom! Another big house to my name Those Romans think they're minted But they ain't rich like me You can't call yourself loaded Till you can buy an army Ran Rome with Pompey and Caesar They're more famous than me But I'm the world's richest geezer There's no-one richer than me I'm minted! I bought an army for fighting Spartacus At the start my men lost heart-acus I killed on in ten in a killing spree So they were more scared of me than the enemy Smashed the slaves, it got real gory But then Pompey stole my glory To show it was me that crushed the horde Nailed up the slaves like on a billboard They're splinted! Not enough to be a politician Wanted triumph, took my army on a mission Got owned by the Parthian Persians They killed me, but you'll hear two versions The famous one's quite hard to follow They gave me boiling gold to swallow But the true way they made me pay They used my head as a prop in a play! Embarrasing! Those Romans think they're minted But they ain't rich like me You can't call yourself loaded Till you can buy an army Ran Rome with Pompey and Caesar They're more famous than me But I'm the world's richest geezer There's no one richer than me
Wow, Simon's pretty decent at rapping. Who woulda thunk it?
XD
Simon Farnaby with guyliner? Perfect c;
They should replace freaking disney channel with Horrible Histories
Agreed
This is historically accurate.
SIMON FARNABY WITH HIS OWN SONG!!!!!!!! :D
LOVE IT BEST SONG SO FAR!!
It's so nice to see a song starring Simon! This is SO catchy.
Is that Simon..with eyeliner?? 😻😻😻🔥
I do contemporary dance.
I love horrible histories still.
Never thought i could mix contemporary with this, fellow dancers... try it!
I never really saw Simon as a rapper, but well done!
This must have been so fun

I think the backing dancing makes this song amazing;)
Liked the effects on this one.
Simon looks so attractive here and it's so catchy. :))
I love this, oh so much
CHORUS. SO. CATCHY.
Mat looks muck better in eyeliner...or is it guyliner? Have you seen his Dick Turpin song?
This is a great catchy rap song
Sad the show ended though
This song won't leave my brain =P
Cast party, HH style XD
Discription: Series 1-3
My mind: I've got the horrible histoires series 1 to 3
This was especially true in the Mediterranean. It was done for the same reason football players put black marks under eyes. Eye protection.
Is that guyliner? Because if it is, why has nobody mentioned this?;o
Oh Simon, you're so... what's the word... Bonkers! XD
Is it just me or does this sound like bonkers tune?
It's a parody of that exact song
no not just you.......
I'm minted, well I wish I was lol
Bonkers by Dizzie Rascal
I can't see myself saying these words so fast...
horrible histories have the best songs
Horrible Histories almost always sing their songs in the style of a certain artist - look back and see how many you can spot! :)
Best song of Series 5 so far.
awesome. well done! what's the song this is off of?

guyliner is just eyeliner on guys. Yeah, I've seen it, but Meh. I prefer Simon with it
when you go to grandma's house and she hands you a £10 note behind your parents' back
I wonder how much his fortune would be worth in today's money?
Because men used to wear make up all the time, esp. in Rome and Egypt.
is that simon's real eyes? :o
Face at 1:49
Are those his real teeth?
Face at 2:14 ha
Do it in front of a mirror?
Anyone know the lyrics? I can only make out a few of them over the beat.
A few years late, but whatever 😄 I got this from Genius.com:
I'm Marcus Licinius Crassus
No rich man could ever surpass us
Wanted people to say I was brave
But I lost my first fight and hid in a cave
Living there could be a pauper's nightmare
But if you're rich like me then you don't care
I called my slave to the cave to ask it
To cook a feast and lower in a basket
Those Romans think they're minted
But they ain't rich like me
You can't call yourself loaded
Till you can buy an army
Ran Rome with Pompey and Caesar
They're more famous than me
But I'm the worlds richest geezer
There's no-one richer than me
I'm minted!
I back General Sulla
Everyday my wallet got fuller
Took the land off enemies to flog it
Used the cash to fill my pocket
If I heard of a house on fire
I'd rush over and be a quick cash buyer
My fireman would then douse the flames, boom!
Another big house to my name
Those Romans think they're minted
But they ain't rich like me
You can't call yourself loaded
Till you can buy an army
Ran Rome with Pompey and Caesar
They're more famous than me
But I'm the world's richest geezer
There's no-one richer than me
I'm minted!
I bought an army for fighting Spartacus
At the start my men lost heart-acus
I killed on in ten in a killing spree
So they were more scared of me than the enemy
Smashed the slaves, it got real gory
But then Pompey stole my glory
To show it was me that crushed the horde
Nailed up the slaves like on a billboard
They're splinted!
Not enough to be a politician
Wanted triumph, took my army on a mission
Got owned by the Parthian Persians
They killed me, but you'll hear two versions
The famous one's quite hard to follow
They gave me boiling gold to swallow
But the true way they made me pay
They used my head as a prop in a play!
Embarrasing!
