1776 - Richard Henry Lee

[Soundwave3591]

ah, those were the days, when a man could ride a horse down main street in an orange suit, singing a loud and boisterous song about his own greatness, and no one wanted to lock him up for it.

[colorfulcatastrophe8]

I've had this song stuck in my head for ages and the only word I know is Lee.

[OkapiVideo]

3:02 Adams goes--"You punched my arm"

[karleigh124]

I love how Richard Henry Lee is so happy, Benjamin F. is supportive and Mr.Adams is.......ehhh

[getsomelead]

Holy crap thats the same fountain from Friends.

[getsomelead]

all right I'm a going to order a bio on this guy on amazon... this guy better be half as epic in that as he is in this movie.

[Tails137]

As Richard rides off, you just know that John and Benjamin are thinking, "Good thing this crazy mofo is on our side."

[ShotanaFilms]

Adam's true thoughts: For the love of god shut up Dick!

[KauKatKay]

Watch him fall backwards into that foountain. :3

[KauKatKay]

I've had 2:43 stuck in my head all week. It really doesn't help my cold.

[Tails137]

"Hellloooooooooooo, Johnnyyyyy!"

".....Richard."

[KauKatKay]

"Who?" -_- "Me!" 8D lol I love that part

[sudmalis100]

" god always leans a little on the side of the Lees of Virginia" Good thing he died before the civil war.

[animefan294]

song starts at 1:57 ..... so much talking -.-

[TheHistoryGeek1]

I doubt they actually sang during the american revolution...

[russlander227]

"Simple! Johnny here's obnoxious and disliked!"

[back1234561]

@russlander227 lol

[hefestus2012]

richard henry lee was related to Robert E Lee. god bless america

[Tails137]

@hefestus2012 Actually, you mean Robert E was related to Richard H. You know, seeing as Richard Henry lived a good 80 years before Robert.

[jenningshenry32]

we watched this in my US history class last year, and I had all the songs stuck in my head for 124310949 hours.

[Saciene]

Happy Birthday, Richard! America loves you!

[shiftergoddessathena]

I love the call back - 'he's obnoxious and disliked!' And, good lord, John doesn't look too happy about any of it, which makes the whole thing about three times as funny.

Also, Lee is a gigantic ham.

[Saciene]

@shiftergoddessathena Gigantic ham. Best way to describe him!

[yummycalorie]

hahaha I like how he keeps acting proud and emphasizes the LEE sound in songs + words. (emphasizing himself too btw). He's a fun character that makes my neighbors and me laugh in class!!!

[Anamar221]

wonder how many takes it took to mount that horse without laughing, falling off, or just missing

[gtelm]

@Anamar221 Lee's face isn't visible making the mount, so it's probably a stunt man in one take.

[Anamar221]

@gtelm True... good point. If i was on that crew though i would've fallen over laughing.

[DragonFlameINfinaty]

Edit on my last post, got Lee's lyrics wrong it was, " And my horses turn to glue, "

[DragonFlameINfinaty]

Lee: "And my my horse be spurred to glue"

Horse: "When did I agree to that?"

Later on when Lee kneels his horse bows beside him.

[Hyflyr94]

^^ More like, "I absolutLEE do not own this."

[xXReederzXx]

1:54 For the song

[MyManOWarSmiles]

this the song is so ridiculous...i love it

[klarebear7211]

i love how when adams joins them he still has a sour look on his face like "i will dance around the courtyard, but i will NOT enjoy it"

[bowserhunter1]

@klarebear7211 Kinda like Snape.

[KauKatKay]

@bowserhunter1 YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! But I think snape would be more likely to curse whoever was trying to get him to do that.

[bowserhunter1]

@KauKatKay nah, he would poison them

[KauKatKay]

@bowserhunter1 Curse then, poison later.

[articsocean]

You description makes this like ten times better.

[mewinator]

Amazing song! we are watching this in my civis class and i love it. to bad nobody in my class likes it but me

[IGuessIllCallUrBluff]

@mewinator You and I are in the exact same boat. :/

[mewinator]

@IGuessIllCallUrBluff Weird how this stuff works eh?
