[guitark66]

[ScrumbleNuts]

I feel sorry for Lawry Lewin in this vid; all the other guys get to be sexy looking Viking dudes and he has to be a balding monk! (also 10points to the first person to tell me where the Vikings attacked in 793...... clue - Gazza sang with them!)

[texlyon]

@ScrumbleNuts they took some land in Britan. Man, an island outside scotland. some norwegians settled there.

[TheAngelOfGoth]

@ScrumbleNuts Lindisfarne Abbey

[ScrumbleNuts]

@TheAngelOfGoth 10 points to you :-) "because we love how monks just don't fight back!"

@HeatherVsEmily yes. kind of.

[darkangel25567]

@HeatherVsEmily agreed

[Geeandnico312]

@Shannonbaynton i agree with u 100%

[shannonbaynton]

Mat is one fit viking...

[WillOrng]

Love the axe is "literally" an axe!

Some monks were pretty good trained soldiers/fighters, according to the BBC's Lindisfarne Viking raid game.

[WillOrng]

@WillOrng Oh, and the Queen Bohemian Rapsody (sic) video homage

[MultiBelle22]

Anyone notice they're using axes as guitars - and axe is a type of guitar!

[soicouldcommenton1p]

thumbs up if you know norse!

[1tjos]

@thecousinscrew He sings lead because he's a musician can't remember the name of his band.

[FrankIeroiscute]

OMG my mum has just told me that Jim is coming for Christmas. I hope she's right.

[sofi14331004]

[Laitanie]

[sheehanpo]

Mat is the best actor/singer EVER!!!

[BagOfSticksFork]

45 people were chucked in the sea. There gonna getcha in the end

[spursdilandro]

Cos us Viking don't care what you think.

Let me in now, won't you please.

We're here to raid your monasteries.

We’re primed and ready to attack…

And we love how monks just don't fight back.

You’ll die or become a slave to me,

Though our slaves often get... chucked in the sea!

...If the boat's heavy

[spursdilandro]

Was the summer of seven ninety three, When we sailed across the great North Sea. Comets crossed the skies that night - You must have known something wasn’t right. We arrived upon your English shore, And you offered friendship... but we wanted more. Yeah – so much more... We're tearing up this place tonight. Literally! We’re gonna set this sleepy town alight. Literally! We’ll kill and steal and burn and drink.

[spursdilandro]

i love this songgggggggggggggggggggggggggg­gggggggggggggggg used to be my topic at school

[BlueNinjaMagik]

LITERALLY!!! Mat is so AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ffiinnrroodd]

How comes my previous comment isn't on the top when it has the highest number of likes?

[iloveMW2andBOs]

this song is so good you can rap it!

[iloveMW2andBOs]

favorite line is

'' and i'll drink a toast from your skull''

'' cause were Vikings, that's how we roll''

[JordoF6]

1/4 of the irish population are viking descedents.

[Geeandnico312]

I hope u had wonderful birthday mat

[comeatmebrah2]

who the fuck disliked this!?!?

[Amrelee]

We'll kill and steal and burn and drink.

Cos us Viking don't care what you think.

Oh yeah!

[thecousinscrew]

almost every horrible history song has matt lead singing in it ;) and every vid starring matt gets loads of comments about him

[Sneakybarbro]

Thumbs up if you're a proud Viking from the north! <3

[WillyOeverland]

@Sneakybarbro Fra norden du også?

[cutekittycathatgirl]

@Sneakybarbro Im Saxon. ;3;

[sofiaobrien17]

happy birthday mat ! good luck on being nominated for the 4 BAFTA'S ! hope you win xxx

[flibbles11]

how can a song suit a situation so perfectly? this is total genius.

[tesla0kiwi]

44 people are monks who dont fight back

[dungeonturmoil1]

great song

[yeartooyoung]

How are they still attractive when they're dressed as vikings?!?

I love this song so much - damn catchy, like all the songs they do. :D

[Bananabookworm]

@yeartooyoung well said...

[Illgore]

@yeartooyoung Actually Norsemen tended to care more for personal hygiene than others of that time. Though naturally when you're out raiding that probably isn't the case.

[yeartooyoung]

@Illgore True. And cleanliness would indeed be preferred to cleanshaven-ness.

[Paxiaynox]

@yeartooyoung Because Vikings ARE hot I sing this at work , my coworkers are much more educated historically because of my love for horrible histories

[TheRunner24601]

This is great! I love horrible histories. LITERA

[busylighting]

Holy crap! Dog's ^_^ at 0:49 so cute!!

[Caramelldansin]

Did anyone else notice the 2 dogs from 0.49 to 0.51?

[Caramelldansin]

Did anyone else notice the 2 dogs from 0.49 to 0.51

[badboymafster]

I really live it because it's funny!

[CaptainOvious123]

Jamie Redknapp's favourite song

[28jaguar]

Obviously, Matt and Jim are great on this but, Ben's mimicking of a lead guitar, although a minor part, was something I thought was awesome as well and deserves some acknowledgement, especially at 0:55 and 2:06. Top stuff Ben!

[YumexxxChan]

What I listen to while playing Skyrim

[UsagiDreamsReturns]

These guys should just form a band on the side. The Horrible Histories crew is awesome!

[ohmyrowling96]

Literally for Christmas Number 1.

[CJstudios8837]

42 people are monks

[LoopyLeaxx]

In the Bohemian Rhapsody style group shots at 2:16 and 2:22 has anyone else noticed Bens facial expressions lol.......

[Niyamaha]

IM ACTUALLY RELATED 2 VIKINGS LOL

[chloebabe1932]

i love this song although it is silly

[LaFara125]

what does he says before the guitar solo?

[MIGHTYBOOSCH198]

@LaFara125 I think it's "play that axe gandor"

[LaFara125]

@MIGHTYBOOSCH198 thanks

[LoopyLeaxx]

@MIGHTYBOOSCH198 Think his names Ragnor / Ragnar, its the same name they used at the HH Prom...

[MIGHTYBOOSCH198]

@LoopyLeaxx They may have changed it for the prom but you're probably right. The name was the bit I wasn't sure on

[xtillycorinnemakeupx]

42 people who dislike this must have no ears. LITERALLY. Amazing song xoxoxoxox

[Shamirabellydancer]

Sexiest damn Vikings I have ever seen.

[Beerbudwiser]

Fucken love it coyldent ask for more

[LoopyLeaxx]

LITERALLY!!

Needed to get that off my chest.... Feel better now...... I think...... Maybe not.... Just once more then.......

LITERALLY!!

[VampanezeRULE1997]

Are those wolves in the background around 0:50

[SASteambravo4]

i must have watched like an hour of these songs. xD so awesome

[Darktech13]

This is how I'm going to play skyrim.

[RayeInfinityMoon]

they made bryan adams and queen look naff!!!



[WhatsCheeze]

@RayeInfinityMoon I believe the correct band is Guns 'n' Roses, since this is the song backing they copied over

[RayeInfinityMoon]

@WhatsCheeze yeh but the four heads like that over the fire is from queen's bohemian rapsody

[WhatsCheeze]

@RayeInfinityMoon Thats true. But the actual background music is GnR

[RayeInfinityMoon]

@WhatsCheeze I think its good that they use background music from popular songs. the cleopatra one is lady gaga, dick turpin is Adam and the Ants and evil emperors is michael jackson

[catherinesteph]

omg! Brian Adams... lol

[Ongarukat]

Can't "Like" this enough.

[RockHeartSam]

I'm doing my homework while listening to this.

[TapiocaPenguin]

THIS SONG FOR EUROVISION!

[MsJulisa3]

hahah, strange mix between metallica and queen

[graciebabs]

@MsJulisa3 its copying bon jovi!

[WhatsCheeze]

@graciebabs Actually the song was Guns 'n' Roses.

[DeepInMusic123]

@WhatsCheeze which song from Guns n Roses?

[WhatsCheeze]

Dunno, it just states it on wikipedia. Could be a false fact but.. :S

[graciebabs]

@WhatsCheeze i think bon jovi coz they walkin sunset like bon jovi but i think guns n roses gud band, you may be right...  CHEEZE

[RasTaHFocKaH]

BADASS vikings!

wooohhh!!!

[sonicVSanakin]

thumbs up if you think this song should be on the next guitar hero

[Ilikegoodmusicok]

@iUseTech And he's watching horrible HISTORIES...tut tut..:) x

[spishspashsposh]

i say we should all get this song and make it number 1 in the charts!

[fireblast557]

I added it to my favourites

LITERALLY!
