The Lost Vikings
Jun. 27th, 2011 06:05 pmI realize that I'm a couple of years late on this at best, but I just found out last night that there's a television series based on Terry Deary's Horrible Histories books - and that they do songs about the subjects they cover. While Hevisaurus was always going to be difficult to beat, I'm glad that Britain is making an attempt as well, with this power ballad courtesy of a band of Vikings.

That still frame actually could just be taken from a music video from most any power metal band (though mostly Rhapsody). The whole mood of it brings back fond memories of Maid Marian and its cheerfulness in being one long anachronism. At the other end of the musical spectrum, Charles II is done in a style that I believe is meant to be Eminem. Dig a little deeper and you'll find the Spartans done as High School Musical. This is amazing.
I also rediscovered the part from Shooting Stars with Vic and Bob 'singing' the Doctor Who music. Their uniquely demented interpretation is less pleasant on the ears, but still remarkable nonetheless.
