@@skye5793 Yes I do agree, I have watched series 7 (It's the only HH series they play on BBC iPlayer) And it is not very good with the cast doing things like fortnight dances and trying to make new "Trends", and I'd hate to say it but its very cringe. Series 6 was 7/10 with cast members Lawry, Simon, Jim, and Sarah returning for a guest star but Series 7 has become as I have said not very good. But thankfully UK Netflix has Horrible histories series 1-5 so we can still watch it.

These guys were BRILLIANT. I found these by chance and was hooked--especially "Stupid Deaths". I got that most of them were parodies of other songs, but this is an excellent resource. I could binge watch these for hours.

Thanks for this. There are a few songs there I knew were parody of a genre of music but didn't realize they came from specific examples. On the flip side, I think Boudica could be a straight up parody of Cherry Bomb by The Runaways.

This really helps me realise how much weaker the Series 1 songs were (besides Born 2 Rule OFC) I think the songs were much better when they weren’t trying to use lyrics from the book and made more original parodies but that isn’t a bad things as it shows the growth

I think these songs worked so well because they were closer to being loving homages rather than parodies. Many of the inspirations aren’t 1:1 or they are more so a take on a general genre rather than a specific song. I think that helped the songs feel more unique and it also helped with the flow and rhythm as they weren’t stuck following a pre-established formula Obviously this wasn’t always the case but even when they were closer to their source material, it still felt different enough TL:DR they were better done than the newer songs which felt more like baby’s first Weird Al
