Hobbit Drinking Medley - Peter Hollens feat. Hank Green!! 

Tolkien's World of Middle-Earth inspired me to make an entire Hobbit+LOTR themed album. If you enjoy this please check it out here: Physical: bit.ly/LVOfficialLOTRAlbum Digital Versions: smarturl.it/peterhollensmusic -- It's called "Misty Mountains: Songs Inspired by The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings"

When everyone in ur DnD campaign are bards

My first thought: Hank Green can sing? Second thought: Hank Green can sing.

I never thought I would need a cover of That's What Bilbo Baggins Hates.

If I ever walk into a pub or bar and someone starts singing this. I will immediately stand on a table and join in .

Beer and nerds with precisely enough time on their hands.

Somewhere up in heaven, JRR Tolkien is smiling.

When the Irish drink, they sing and when they sing, they drink. (a witness)

So, after having watched this a lot, I've finally noticed two little nice details that I like. When they sing about the Green Dragon in the start, they shoot the green ball on the pool table into the whole. Later when they sing "throw the wine on every door" they shoot the red ball in. The details shall not go unnoticed, despite they have been for the past 4 years.

For someone who's science teacher showed us countless of Hank's Crash Course videos, this is *very* interesting to watch.

"Sir! It's the clones! They've.... started to sing..." "Finally." Whoops, wrong franchise.

0:05 The Green Dragon 0:30 Hey Ho, To The Bottle I Go 0:50 Blunt The Knives 1:35 Bofur's Song

Today's episode of Crash Course is: How to be a bard

"Hey, Peter, I'm so drunk... I think there are two of us?" "Actually, Hank, there are like, six of us." --Two totally real quotes from Peter and Hank, 2016

I just trying to think what the owner of the pup is thinking "Ah, two customers. How is go.... You need how many beers?! You need to do what?!"

Hank: "Okay I'm excited for this! I'll see you tomorrow to start recording :D" Peter: "Oh before I forget, I'm going to need you to bring like 12 shirts..." Hank: ".... what" Peter: "Maybe more"

I'm singing this at the Green Dragon in New Zealand before I die, God willing.

I must be drunk, I'm seeing about twenty Peters and twenty Hanks...

I can just imagine the pitch from Peter to Hank: "So, Lord of the Rings songs. Except it'll take three weeks to film because of the 2.5 billion costume changes, and we can drink. Also I need you to sit in a dark corner for part of it." Sounds brill.

I really love the unique timbre of Hank & Peter's combined voices.

what is my crash course teacher doing singing like a nerd

I really like the contrast between Peter's very clean and precise singing and Hank's more raspy spontaneous one.

Lyrics: *The Green Dragon* Oh you can search far and wide, You can drink the whole town dry. But you'll never find a beer so brown (but you'll never find a beer so brown) As the one we drink in our hometown. You can keep your fancy ales, You can drink em by the flagon. But the only brew for the brave and true... Comes from the Green Dragon! *Hey Ho, to the Bottle I Go* Hey ho! To the bottle I go To heal my heart and drown my woe Rain may fall and wind may blow But there still be Many miles to go Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain And the stream that falls From the hill to plain Better than rain or a rippling brook Is a mug of beer inside this Took! *Blunt the Knives* Blunt the knives, bend the forks, Smash the bottles and burn the corks Chip the glasses and crack the plates That's what Bilbo Baggins hates! Cut the cloth, tread the fat, Leave the bones on the bedroom mat Pour the milk on the pantry floor Splash the wine on every door Dump the crocks in the boiling bowl Pound them up with a thumping pole And when you've finished if they are whole Send them down the hall to roll! *Bofur's Song* There's an inn, there's an inn, a merry old inn beneath the old grey hill, And there they brew a beer so brown The Man in the Moon himself came down One night to drink his fill. The ostler has a tipsy cat that plays a five-stringed fiddle; And up and down he saws his bow, Now squeaking high, now purring low, Now sawing in the middle. So the cat on his fiddle played hey-diddle-diddle, a jig that would wake the dead: He squeaked and sawed and he quickened the tune, While the landlord shook the Man in the Moon: 'It's after three!' he said. Now quicker the fiddle went deedle-dum-diddle; the dog began to roar, The cow and the horses stood on their heads; The guests all bounded from their beds and danced upon the floor. The round Moon rolled behind the hill as the Sun raised up her head. She hardly believed her fiery eyes; For though it was day, to her surprise they all went back to bed!

Girl: “he’s probably out cheating on me” Guy:

Who knew Hank could sing! Great! Love the energy!

A party of Bards, in a tavern.

why can't bar people sing like this while being drunk lol

I somehow got introduced to hank Green through this of all things ~2ish years ago 😂 Amazing music I love coming back to it

This song is my COVID 19 lockdown discovery, and it is such a relief in this pandemic. I hope all of you here are good. We will get through this, with our loved ones, and will again have breakfasts together like hobbits :))

This is a collab that I never thought I'd see, but am 100% thankful that it happened.

To people who haven't read the books: 2:25 Elves (and Hobbits) refer to the sun as Her, and the moon as Him

Imagine being so famously persnickety that there's an entire song about how you do your dishes.

how has shatny tiktok not discovered this yet

I really wish we had full versions of all of the songs.

this just got better and better!

The girls locker room: OMG did you see how cute Tyler was. The boys locker room:

This will never get old. Anyone else trying to learn the song

So, I know that this might be lost in the sea of comments, but I thought that this was too amusing to not share. So I've gotten to playing Dnd with my parents and my dad was playing as a bard. So what my dad did was he was trying to boast morale in this town they were in and he rolled really high on performance. (Bards man.) So what do I do much to my parents amusement? I bring this up on spotify and say "This is basically what's going on in the inn." What made it even better was the fact that both my parents recognized where it was from almost immediately because both are super into LotR. It was an awesomely amusing moment.

Hank and Peter are the duo I never knew I needed.

Every pub will be singing this once we're all out of quarantine

"He's Got To Be The Finest Bard I Have Ever Seen" "So It Would Seem"

Pub singalongs are a blast, but you have to be in the mood. Does 'in the mood' = 'drunk enough'? Maayybee... ;)

I would give my left arm to go to a pub filled with Peter Hollenses and Hank Greens

“And to her surprise… They all went back to bed!” 😂 This explains a lot about the singers.

Hank green sings?!

At first I thought "man a lot of people look like Hank and Peter" Then there were four And five and six And endless Hanks and Peters

This is awesome! Also, I was overly excited to see Pizza John lol

2018 (me): Starts getting interested in LOTR 2018 (YT): Nah 2019 (YT): yeah 2019 (me): Playlist loops song for 1 hour

1:39 Peter's like: "Ugh...that drunk dude that nobody likes..."

Absolutely love this song... But who knew that Hank Green could sing?!?!?! I mean sure he and his family are epic but singing??! xD

So where do you keep all the clones?

Hank Green earned that $35 fr

This is the content creator crossover I didn't know I needed.

my cheeks hurt from smiling so much, anyone else having this problem?

This is the best collab I have ever seen.

I wish they did things like this in real life . that would be so cool to have a bar do this

Get Well soon Hank 🎈🎈🎈 🍻

That Pizza John sweatshirt, though

Peter Hollens, Pentatonix and Home free all released a video on the same day! tell me thats a coincidence!

1:34 is the song we're all here for.

When I, an Irish drunkard, a Viking warrior, as well as a bloody dwarf, heads to the pub.

I live in Missoula. I was actually going to the bar that day and couldn't get in because of the filming.

Wow, Hank Green...never thought you were this musical, surprised me!! Anyways, great job Hank!!! And Peter, great as always!!!

all dislikes are from the clerics that need to heal the barbarians in the party whom are forced the fix all the bards fckups every time.... they hear the tune and instantly regret waking up lol

Been watching Hank for years, he actually lives pretty close to me, had no idea he could sing

today I learned that hank can sing

This was VERY VERY cool. My family and I (all choir singers) read the hobbit and LOTR together as a family and made an audiobook of it when I was a kid, and Mom composed music to go with all of the songs, including the ones you all sing here! It is interesting to hear them sung to a different tune than the one I have set in my head years ago by my mom, haha! Great job guys, I think Tolkien would be proud :) (I actually do some LARPing and always go as an elven bard, and most of my songs come from Tolkien's books! The Merry Old Inn song is a favorite)

This never fails to make me smile. Wish people just burst out in songs like these at bars. I would love being a part of that!

Ha! Love the "Blunt the Knives" song. Also, props on all the little visual tricks.

This is absolutely incredible 💙

You hear that lads, he says we’ll blunt the knives

I NEED a one hour version of this!

I am so HAPPY right now. This made me smile. Thank you

Aren't you guys a little TALL for these songs?

Peter and Hank: Drinking Midley Me, an intelectual: ah, so Hobbit and Dwarf songs cause they're the masters of this craft?

Bought this on iTunes over a year ago and I still think this is THE most played song in my 2k+ playlist!!

Any chance we can get a full version of The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late?

I freaking loved this tune in the movie and this is absolutely amazing!

0:19 was that Merry saying "Pippin!" in the background?😂

I was standing in the kitchen drinking a beer and trying to remember the Green Dragon song….and I found you. Glorious

Does anyone else notice Peter in the white shirt, drunk? Hank gives him the funniest look. xD

My kids have officially asked me to stop playing this song... The quote of the night is "Oh Mom, not that Peter Hollens song again!?! Can we listen to other ones, please?" Needless to say, HUGE LOTR fan and love the album you did of those songs. 😄🎶

That one bit: "THE ONLY BREW FOR THE BRAVE AND TRUUUUUE... Comes from the Green Dragon!" sounds like an advertisement jingle xD

when dwarvens are bored and they sing in the bar: (edit i miss this music and 2 likes!? can someone change that pls?)

Pizza John sweatshirt detected.

The harmony at 0:20 is what I LIVE FOR!!!!! if I could just loop that one part, I would lol.

Is there any chance we'd ever get separate full versions of these songs?? These would be a great addition to any SCA feast or firewalk!

my wife sent me a link to this to discourage my behavior, it backfired. whos wants second breakfast?

Thank Hank you did something with Hank Green the is amazing

This is SO much fun!!! You guys are both awesome. :)

The RU-vid algorithm has me pretty well figured out, I guess. Hank Green singing Hobbit songs falls very near the middle of a Venn Diagram I didn't know existed, but am very happy to find.

Hank green ended up being my teacher without em knowing hahaha my teach used lots of his videos and this song was my first introduction to Hank. Made learning from him alot easier for whichever reason. Happy hes cancer free for now 😊 my classmates were pulling for em. Thanks for the song and your teachings.

Do the theme from _Firefly_, "The Ballad of Serenity"!!!! Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand…

I can't believe you did a collab with HANK GREEN!! How did I just get this recommendation?!

Let's take a minute to appreciate the editor and their 200hrs of masking all these guys together!

I love looking at the comments to see where people know Hank from. Tiktok, Sci Show, Crash Course? Welcome! If you are wondering what Hank is doing here, he's here because he does all the things. All of them. You may not know it yet but you are a nerdfighter. Nerdfighteria is a glorious place where we get to witness Hank in all his talent and insanity. The secret headquarters are at the Vlogbrothers channel. Come on in, the water's fine.

I only wish I could put this on loop without the speech after the song.

These Deep voices at 0:20 just give me goosebumps 😍😍

I love the demeanor of the singers. They are every bit as fun to watch as to listen to. Oh and more please!

I listen to this on repeat while I'm writing fantasy! I just love Peter's arrangements! What a divine person!
