Am I the only one who finds it weird that we're learning history from comedy songs? 😅 Don't get me wrong, they're catchy as hell, but imagine a future where all education is through catchy jingles... dystopian much?

It's the power of music, folks! Melodies make it easier to remember stuff. Those songs are a stroke of genius tbh. Props to the songwriters who managed to turn the Plague into something you can tap your foot to 😂

Wish they made Horrible Histories for math, chemistry, and physics too... might actually pass my exams. whoever made learning history fun deserves a medal 🏅

Omg, this brings back memories! Thanks to Horrible Histories I always ace those history trivia games with my mates. 'Born to Rule Over You', anyone else got that stuck in their head right now?

While the songs are catchy, let's not forget they tend to oversimplify and sometimes get the facts wrong for the sake of rhyme. If you're serious about history, always cross-refer w/ actual historical texts. Entertaining? Yes. Fully accurate? Not quite. #HistoryBuffAlert

Really? I thought ppl watched HH for the laffs, not actual knowledge. Did we even watch the same show 😆

u right lmao, those songs were total bangers. Actually made me wanna know more about history instead of nodding off in class. Gotta say tho, some episodes were pretty good at poking fun at how absurd history can get. Who knew a musical number could teach me the entire War of the Roses 😂
