PREHISTORY song by Mr. Nicky
To the tunes of “Dynamite” by BTS &
“Astronaut in the Ocean” by Masked Wolf
Backing tracks property of Karaoke Version/Tency Music
Lucy:
Because my stride was bipedal and upright
we can relate as hominids, both you and I
Handy Man:
Clues show over a million years ago, we were making tools of stone
And so the Paleolithic "Old Stone” age arose
Upright Man:
We strolled out of our old home
It got cold but with fire control
us nomads can roam with portable heat
and tigers leave us alone, hey!
Neanderthal:
Skill and teamwork mattered
Couldn't farm so we'd just hunt and gather food
Leaving foot and handprints that archaeologists examine
Cro-Magnon
Painting caves, and though we couldn't write
that's prehistoric fine art, with science you'll know
Lucy:
Straight from my bones!
All:
That my stride was bipedal and upright
We can relate as hominids, both you and I
Climates, rivers, landscapes all have geographical effects
on life and Ötzi dying in ice (whoa!)
From his gear, you'll see how far that tool making came along
Some settled down and farmed, and the New Stone Age was on!
It's a food revolution, going agricultural in fertile places
by domesticating wild plants and the right animals
Years of careful breeding get your herds and crops the way you need them
Irrigate your lands and grow that surplus food for stashing
so populations rise and artisans can specialize to build your civilization
Neanderthal:
Nah, let's just hunt!
All:
'Cause my stride's bipedal and upright
We can relate as hominids, both you and I
Climates, rivers, landscapes all have geographical effects
on life and Ötzi dying in ice (whoa!)
Signs show the guy had climbed and dined
violently died and was mummified in ice
Trying to survive requires refined items
Acquire them from towns with shiny knives
Trade with them for new goods and take their bright ideas home
Gilgamesh: and you just might end up being civilized!
Once you know a scribe wrote it down with a reed into clay
That source is beyond prehistory
Is your storytelling oral tradition still spoken?
Yeah, mine is in writing as your skull is decomposing, ay
Once you know a scribe wrote it down with a reed into clay
That source is beyond prehistory
Is your storytelling oral tradition still spoken?
Yeah, mine is in writing and you're just stiff and frozen
She says that you're cool
I'm like, "Yeah, that's true"
You thought your axe was h.o.t.
Copper weapons are n.o.t.
They've been improved upon
Step into the Age of Bronze
We're finding ways to strengthen metal
Adding tin to the copper you smelt will make your casts built to last
Not like tools from your Stone Age past
These are durable for farming tasks, though it's a low ranking social class
It isn't much higher than the slaves, let rich nobles administrate
with a high class of priests who pray to the gods running our city-state
Praise them, I'm the "Big Man", I lead our government
Overseeing the people dig planned canals with clear direction
Bringing order, central rule and protection
Raising armies you won't mess with or you'll rest in Fertile Crescent soil
Launching civilization in Mesopotamia because the location
between the Euphrates and Tigris makes it the greatest place
you can find to harvest grain in Southwest Asia
So with the surplus crops that we raise
You don't have to farm, get a job, do your lyre playing
Load up a cart, roll it to far markets now that wheels go on axle rods
With these new devices, who's surprised at Sumer's rise?
If your water and food supply is quite reliable like mine
Your small settlement might try building a city we'd fight
I'd quickly smite you like this lion
Once you know a scribe wrote it down with a reed into clay
That source is beyond prehistory
Is your storytelling oral tradition still spoken?
Yeah, mine is in writing while your grandkids are dozing, ay
Once you know a scribe wrote it down with a reed into clay
That source is beyond prehistory
Is your storytelling oral tradition still spoken?
Yeah, mine is in writing and you're just stiff and frozen
Lucy: Well, that was rude!
Upright Man: Who gave him the link?
Handy Man: Probably Otzi, notice he’s late again.
Cro-Magnon: It’s not Otzi, it’s “Oet-zi.”
Handy, Upright, Neand.: No!
Lucy: It’s “Oot-zi” like “Footsie.”
Handy, Upright, Neand.: Haha!
Handy Man: It’s “Oat-zi '' like “Floatsy!”
Neanderthal: It’s “Eet-zi” like “feetsy!” Haha!
Otzi: Whoaa!
I love how Mr Nicky doesn’t really feel cringy it feels like he gets kids and what they like
For sure! I’m a substitute teacher and I often work with sixth graders who love these videos.
no this is 100% cringy
@@squeed77 nah jit tripen
@@squeed77 if they don’t enjoy it the think it’s funny both ways it’s a win win
@@MangoMan11111 and even if not that its permanently burned into their brains
I don't care if this is a song for 6th graders, Gilgamesh spit bars
Ikr it’s fire
I'm listening to it because my teacher plays it for us to listen to
This is to good to forget it
Fr
True though
He's back at it again. My sixith grade teacher showed me ur songs. I'm now a freshman in highschool. Thanks for making social studies so much fun these years.
Edit: Lol I'm A JUNIOR now, time fliesss man

Bruh same

I'm a freshman in college
Mrs Maltby
The 6th graders of this year and coming ones will feel the joy we felt listening to his songs.

DUDE TRUE

Omg yes as a 6th grader this year these songs are literally the best
this is why history teachers are the best teachers
The legend himself created another song! Two In one! Keep it up, you will get very popular. This is Keanu from Mr. Marinelli's class last year.
First heard your songs when I was 13, and now I’m graduated and on my way to being a history and social studies teacher. Thank you for all y’all’s hard work❤️
I'm on track to becoming one too.
can I have an update if you've made it? :)
We’re blessed to have God drop another holy piece of song into our hands. Just listening to it makes me feel powerful.
Lol, I love how you call him God, but the song is about the theory of Evolution
@@Pharaoh_Tutankhamen fr
The fact that my history teacher has supporters 💀
@@thunderkatz4219 og
You’re welcome 😇
DUDE your lyrics are SO GOOD! You should actually pick up being a ghost writer as a side gig. Not even joking, you're one of the best accounts on UA-cam. Keep up the great work! I'm happy for you, and your students! 👍
My sister begged me to play this I now understand why.
Sir.
You have a talent.
This is definitely one of my favorite songs, not just this one but all of them.
What a chad he sung an entire song 2 minute and 10 second song, and then yelled for like 15 seconds and still had the energy to sing another song also yes I know they were likely all just stitched together in editing
