Horrible Histories - The World War Two Girls Song

[indigocoil]

this reminds me of Prisoner's Wives...

[ProtestantsRUs]

WW2 girls were very important for the war effort. They may not have been fighting, but their role was crucial nonetheless.

[pigflyingpig1]

@ProtestantsRUs Yes and... we know

[spazzy69]

Love Katy Wix!

:fuckyea:

[wang78739]

I love how this HH song is linked to the shut up hitler clip from doctor who.

[InnannasRainbow]

Women rarely get the recognition they deserve during war.

[michaelritchie200]

Katy Wix <3

[xilent234]

Martha looks really pretty as a WW2 lady :)

[reidrules45]

@PhenomenalHeadShot Don't forget behavior. And emotions. Girls are just a bit more emotional. BTW I AM A GIRL!

[chainsawgood123]

@reidrules45 That's a bit of a generalisation. I'm a guy, and I'm very emotional. In fact, I've met some pretty emotionless girls in my life.

It's not gender that decides how emotional you are, it's personality alone, which is all people should be judged on. Behaviour is the only thing that should count against a person.

[RealmEternal]

@chainsawgood123 Bullshit, women are much more likely to be emotional, gender difference is a fact.

[chainsawgood123]

@RealmEternal What do you base this on? Do you base it on the people you've met? I'll admit, I've met some very emotional girls and very emotionless guys, but I've also met many emotional guys and emotionless girls. It all comes down to personality, which is a factor mainly influenced by upbringing, life experiences, and only a tiny portion of that is based on genetics, only a tiny portion of said genetic-based personality is determined by gender.

[PizzaPartyPoolPants]

their Hubbies must be proud

[usafisasome]

Air Wardens Uniform FTW

[GaladedridDamodred]

Your daughters' daughters salute you, o mothers of second-wave feminism!

[553annie]

Cool love this song girl power💗

[coolcustard4]

Check out my channel!!!!!!!

[coolcustard4]

Nice

[cookieBekah2]

awsome



[elfingSOne]

lovethesong

[PhenomenalHeadShot]

The truth of the matter is that gender means nothing in anything really. Theres just a few physical hormones that cause minor changes in bone structuring and muscle toning (also sexual organs obviously..) As far as a war effort is considered.. these are all trivial

[PizzaPartyPoolPants]

Sound like MJ song

[hannaho3]

Oh just grow up and stop fighting.

One song about what woman did during the war, doesn't need to compare about who did more, because at the end of the day everyone took part. The song states NOTHING about woman doing better! It's telling the story about what women did. Just stop fighting it's pathetic.

[WeaponAwesome]

@impimpen111 no. It wasn't but BBC does a good job in making you believe the background theme is really there.

[singingchampsjona]

Has anyone realized the sleeves on her shirt going up and down while they are dancing?? :)

[MsLozzyb]

Girls rule

[impimpen111]

Wait wat is the song called and is an actual song that was played during WWII!

[SonicRules151]

@impimpen111 i wish it was

[himonisha04]

i have heard it at St. Christopher Lower school. it was so cool

[KRAZZZY1250]

im not being sexist or anything but men did far more during WWII they died for their homes but girls did help back home aswell

[cocoluvslego1st]

@KRAZZZY1250 it's a tough job bombing japs

[SolonaCousland]

@KRAZZZY1250 Out of genuine curiosity: how well would the men at war have done with no bullets? Or equipment? Or food? Or weapons?

[xNizzehh]

"England's needy hour"? Last time I checked, Scotland, Wales and Ireland were part of the war too as BRITAIN.

[chopchop8916]

@xNizzehh ...This is an English show sooooo

[xNizzehh]

@chopchop8916 No, It's a British show. In case you didn't realize that it's the BRITISH Broadcasting Corporation.

[chopchop8916]

@xNizzehh whatever...I don't really mind...you know what they mean.

[Mujibul123]

@xNizzehh jesus, its a kids program. stop analysing every word

[zazjam786]

I'm using this song as a source for my GCSE history coursework!!! :D

[StarShining40]

i <3 this song sooo much

[TheHillTV]

that woman riding the truck would have been bombed!!!

[Eabha1460]

GIRL POWER !!!! :)

[wildmoon112]

Martha in a military suit.. ;)

[comeatmebrah2]

@wildmoon112 i wish that there was a 'i love this' option!

[garbenbarben7987]

@wildmoon112 :-D

[Amelia67445]

GO GIRLS

[Poynteroooh]

How is it even possible people are arguing on a Horrible Histories video? Really? Strange. Anyway back to my point i think Horrible Histories is so amazing. When you work in a day nursery and Out of School club and the kids tell you what they learn from Horrible Histories, half the time they don't realise they are learning. It's Amazing.

[Shifterai]

@Poynteroooh The Horrible Histories series is completely amazing. I actually studied Ancient History in high school because I loved the Horrible Histories books and I think it's wonderful that they were made into a TV show that will reach a wider audience. It isn't something to be argued about, it's something to enjoy and be amazed at the effect it has, and the things it teaches kids.

[SolonaCousland]

@Poynteroooh Welcome to the majesty that is the YouTube comments section.

[WhAtStHeMaTtErMan]

You all see how unfair life is? Girls have GIRL-POWER! We men have to do things all on our own! And still they sended men to war!:?

[markmansion]

In America they were called Rosie the Riveter.

[xxCATWALKproductions]

wow :L

[worldwidewackyness]

EVERYONE STOP ARGUING ABOUT BEING SEXIST AND STUFF. JUST ENJOY THE AWESOME SONG.

[alexa1978ify]

we could not have won the war if it wasnt for the woman who help out well done hh cast and crew

[MwoStiles]

the song is good, but it sort of sounds like they're saying that the women won the whole war by themselves... But still good, love HH

[telephone7300]

"with rules so strict the even time you when your on the loo!!"

[GTAxxPWNS]

you lot need to get a grip its really educational !!!!!



[42lifeis]

Reminds me of Foyle's War...

[sandstorm0819]

I keep seeing all these comments about Martha......WHO IS MARTHA!?!?!?

[unurautare2]

[sorchathetotalyeah]

They say it like it's a good thing.

[sorchathetotalyeah]

[07MMOSELEY]

[SophyH13]

@pinkywinky1904 Yes, but, don't mean to be sexist, the men died for their countries. But women were soldiers too (A few were). Women mostly kept the country alive and all that assorted crack.

[pinkywinky1904]

@WhiteStorm1999 k, soz.

[Tomboy243]

[cheekiemonkieonline]

[gin6er793o]

The Nazis desliked this

[iEatDuhRainbow]

Better Than Girls Aloud..Guess Thats Why They Made Fake Accounts And Disliked This

[TheDragonmandan]

Diana Ross and the Supremes anyone?

[ErinC918]

All three ladies in this video are fantastic, but I think the one who is the "Land Girl" has got the smoothest voice! She should be singing jazz in an upscale club!

[MinionOfDeth2112]

Whats better than making it through the war and comming home to your beloved wife/girlfriend?

Making it through the war and comming home to your beloved wife/girlfriend who is now in even better shape than when you left and sex starved, hot diggy dog! :D

[Misslizish]

13 boys are jealous of girl power !

[MrSmokin123]

@Misslizish it might be girls who dont like the music >:[

[MizTweedieBieber]

GIIIIIRRRRLLLLL POOOOOWWEERRR!!!!! :D

[mymischeif1]

I did not like this when i first heard it but now i LUV it!

[ellybrandt4]

this is actually a fantastic song, first time i heard it i wasn't that taken but now i love it, it's sticky! and yeah, martha looks really pretty

[mintman123456789]

[e7l13]

[cinda2030]

[LOVESMATBAYNTON]

@cinda2030 the blonde one!

[LOVESMATBAYNTON]

Martha looks stunning!!!

[vilked]

Is it or me or when Martha is singing in her verse she looks absolutely gorgeous?

[waywardghosts]

@vilked It's not just you, viiked. Martha looks particularly stunning in this video - the forties' style really suits her a lot.

[LONLYSOULDOG]

@waywardghosts thirties accually 

[EdNortonisMineLol]

This is so catchy!

[hoolago]

catchy ive just realised i usally say that on Horrible Histories songs!

[hoolago]

catchy

[darklittlefox]

I love this song for some reason!

[darkkingshow]

Thank you Terry Deary for writing Horrible Histories! Without you we wouldn't have these wonderful songs!

[ducatirsv]

i love this song!!!

GO GIRL POWER!!!

:-D

[GrassMonster811]

sexy

[LilStarWarsChick2860]

Martha is SO pretty.

[theguywithoutafoot]

I'd nail the blonde one

[TheCityGoddess]

I love Katy Wix!! Check her out in Not going out she plays a ditzy chick and she is so funny a classic line is "Oh daisy, the one who puts sugar in the salt jar!" *Daisy turns up* "I was trying to confuse the ants..."

[dacooliestloser900]

Airforce miss MUST pull down her pants shes worse than my art teacher !!!!

[SmoothieSmurf]

martha looks nice

[tenseman08]

Girl power..isn't that right Mr Giggs

[nazifahmed]

All the 11 people who disliked this were German women

[darkkingshow]

@nazifahmed Not all Germans were against us! It was only the Nazis...

[ThePrettyPoetess]

@nazifahmed Oh for goodness sake! I understand that what happened was terrible, evil and will, and should, never be forgotten, but people should stop attacking Germany. Modern Germany has nothing to do with their troubled Nazi Past. People never attack the modern spanish for their country's past terrible treatment of South Americans when they invaded them - or us modern British for the way, that in the past, our country would treat rebels in the colonies like dirt and promoted the slave trade.

[LilStarWarsChick2860]

it sounds like The Promise by Girls Aloud (:

[CounterStrikeXXXI]

id rather watch this then bieber

[rosierocksat10456]

"all of a sudden our hubbies go to war"

lol

are they talking about matt from the other videos

[davezz5]

GREAT

[lydiabo2118]

lovin it!!!

[MissyR1972]

My grandma was in the auxillory fire service during the war. She cycled to work in the blackout while bombs dropped to man the switchboards. She got the Civillian George Medal for her services. Whenever i see this, i think of her and how strong she must have been. Makes me proud. Its coming up to the 1st anniversary of her passing on the 15th. She was the grand old age of 92! Miss her lots. Thanks for sharing!

[MsAdda1]

how can anyone dislike this???? all 3 girls rocked....Literally.... :):):)

[Aliyasosweet]

IM not exactly a tomboy myself but I think that boys are way better than girls as well for some reason

[beckster21101]

I'm a girl and I think boys r way better than girls (I'm a tomboy & I love ice hockey)

[whydidthetilda]

@beckster21101 What makes you say that? GIrls have to put up with all the crap stuff... wearing corsets (in the past, anyway), time-of-the-month pains, going through LABOUR! And we don't complain as much as a certain hubby I know.

[tiarneker]

girls have always been better then boys, boys are smelly
