I'm Henry the VIII - Herman's Hermits

[thebean1964]

The Ramones took the "Second Verse same as the First" line and used it in Judy Is A Punk...

[tnhl77]

on road trip we would do 100 verses it drove our parents nuts!

[alacran1992]

Is this song supposed to make you think the widow next door was a serial killer? Because that's what I always thought...

[weirdaljedifan2]

If she's British and wouldn't have a "Willy", wouldn't that make her a lesbian?

[c0bbl3rs]

Apart from those of Bluff King Hal, this is just full of random shots! True, proto punk, early "Oi" music...

[bijyxd]

love it

[TravellerInTime1987]

Early punk...

[Rotavator06]

39 people aren't 'Ennery the Eighth.

[DarthVader1997]

its ok Sam, i still love you.

[Luciferminusone]

Does the user control if there are any ads or not?

[Multi80sfan]

homer simpson: i am henry the eighth i am henry the eight i am i am i've been eating since 6 a m henry the eighth i am

[BrielleJeanMarie]

Isnt this the song from Ghost?

[kilar277]

Mr. Saturn?

[aloneandforgotten1]

we listened to this song in my history of rock music class, it was stuck in my head for days -__-

[Luciferminusone]

Why the hell is there such an annoying AD in this not annoying song? It sort of kills the magic of this.

[shiningbeans]

The top two comments cover all the lyrics in the song, but don't like my comment or else it wont be true.

[joemammasboy]

No Sam!

[hefftron]

best part 0:00 to 1:46

[srjimmy1]

good news happy thanks givings and ( me Too )

[verdew8181]

this takes me way, way back to 8th grade when I first heard it. Some kids played it for the "thought for the day broadcast" over the school intercom system.

[jmet1919]

I think the singer is peter noone

[ANigerianPrince]

Anyone know who the singer is again?

[F5veSeveN]

@ANigerianPrince Peter Noone.

[TheRetroReactive]

[BuffyVIII]

Where did that 8 with the arrow through it come from?

[MrHEC381991]

1 MAO TYM!

[greedyman9D2]

anyone else come here from watching Whose Line is it Anyway?

[krog1981]

good job youngen

[MrHotpocket53]

I dont get the point in dislikes, if you don't like the song, just dont listen to it, that simple

[safak10]

@MrHotpocket53 As this is a website where videos are shared, maybe thay just didn't like the video Erotate made and they have the right to decide wheter it's good or bad, that simple

[MrGrass1222]

You guys, I have to tell you something........ I'm Henry VIII. v.v I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

[mattlore]

I once sang this song to the 47th verse while I was at work...My manager loved me for it! And by love, I mean ready to guy me like a fish :D

[kateulele1]

Whose Line is it Anyway brought me here <3

[wamouse]

I half expect him to shout "ROCK!" at 50 seconds in

[AnimalLoverofAmerica]

I need to show this to my European history class teacher... :D

[carlos5412]

I sing this all the time after hearing it in history XD

[legolas35653]

[cutecurlytop409]

:D i <3 herman's hermits!

[silverdragon1460]

[Furagata]

[wickedglamour]

this song is so damn addicting......i'm gonna be singin' this for like a week.....probably more........damnit, why did i click the link?!?!

[leafyutube]

Henry the VIII was an ugly motherfucker.

[Mrtheseventhmoon]

@leafyutube he had syphilis later in his life and couldn't ride a horse so he got a bit podgy

[Megatallica572]

Herman



[ickiepooo]

Back is in the 60s what fascinated us American teens was the Cockney accent; they don't say "Henry", they say "'enery".

[hitachicm721f]

I hope you got an A

[ByronMcelderry]

700th verse same as the first

[TheChessman6500]

I'm 19 and like 50's and 60's music :-)!

[MissBeatleBailey]

@TheChessman6500 I'm 12 years old and I like 50's and 60's music... You don't see me posting my age on Herman's Hermit's videos for popularity. You know why that is? Because I have enough common sense to realize NO ONE CARES!

[TheChessman6500]

@MissBeatleBailey

You replied.......so I suppose someone cares!

[MissBeatleBailey]

@TheChessman6500 Well done.. :D I need some humor like that.. :)

[Maximuchimoro]

its just an amazing song but it's quicker then a forty year old man in the sack .

[Maximuchimoro]

its just an amazing song but it's quicker then a forty year old man in the sack

[quirkyeccentric64]

My history teacher played this in class and sung and danced the whole time. He's the most awesome guy, he's 56, and he threatened to fail all of us if we didn't sing all of the words by the 3rd verse XD I'm gonna miss that class sooooo much!!!!

[4cellar2door0]

RAMONES

[Rockheart9]

It's one of those songs that whether you love or hate it...it ends up stuck in your head

[doomyshaela]

I thought it said Henry the acorn man

[deaddoc]

Oh do I remember how we all made all parents crazy by singing this song endlessly!

Right GregDad1001 - this is not the original.

[AlantheOttoman]

One little problem: I expected Uncle Sam.

[GregDad100]

Too bad this is not the original version.

[jadegreenkaty]

the best video I have all year! Thanks for posting. I love this song too!

[418sadeyes]

The eight with the arrow is the sign for 8th Inf Div. Go Army!!!

[Murmurrumm]

Omg my History teacher kept playing this song. o-e

[TubeGunner]

This is clearly a remake.

[xmatti1995]

@TubeGunner no remake, just a different vocalist. peter noone sings alone now

[Antiislamfront2010]

damn it i got this song stuck in my head now ive listened to it about 5 times now tonight maybe thats why

[zackboomer]

[sms23lvr]

[sk84darkstar2]

[rocknrollme6]

[MegaCeilingCat]

[KatesKrayons]

[Luciferminusone]

[sharb97]

[TechnoPath99]

This isn't the original

[psadpoiafsdf]

[squatters1]

@psadpoiafsdf What an over-reaction, its only supossed to be a comedy song you miserable sod! Get a sense of humor!

[SaigaEcano]

My mom sings this song all the time!!! I'm going to go nutz if she does again

[Gr3tchXx]

Willy Wonka lol. :P Love this tune.

[Happymuffins2]

Mr. Saturn? Awesome! Haha loved it, great song, great video

[MrLuvTheBeatles]

They cross out the picture of Samwise from Lord of the Rings. lol

[Isabel1956]

I used to sing that song to my brother when he was a baby and boy did he hate it.

He used to think I was singing about him

[CanadianNoob17]

lol 2nd verse same as the 1st

[fjccommish]

@CanadianNoob17 Of course it is. They only sang the chorus.

[rockinhank1]

I'm a Henry and this tune brought me notoriety!

[BaggieShorts]

Eish!! what a lekker song 

[Mrdianalynn]

The other Boelyntitle?sp? Sister followed by movie Elizabeth would be chronologically correct

[amumblingmouse]

mr. saturn! :D

[ChiSportsNut18]

Does the black widow grow another leg every time she gets married? lol

[brnleague99]

Frigging classic.

[Ali74]

Love when Swayze sings this in Ghost

[BronYuDawson]

'enry the 8th i am =)

[P8andJam]

SWEET JESUS.

unexpected-picture-of-a-spider alert.

[Cuckie]

I'll take Willy!! 0:20

[ThaliaSandy]

@Cuckie lol can we share XD

[VIG19911220]

Who is the singer in this song? He isn't Peter Noone

[DollarClickOrSignup]

Sounds cool, although those aren't the real Herman's Hermits singing.

[kevdev54]

did u get an F on this ..... u should have

[SirTomnUSA]

Cute video.  Always loved that song.

[oascec]

wow i love this song my history teacher plays it

[KrfNYC2]

Wow...this song sucks.

[smbcollector]

This version doesn't sound like the version I've heard. Where'd it come from?

[Kantokin]

i now know everything there is about henry the 8th

[kpate129]

what kind of grade did you get for this?

[MCADJim]

I am never allowed to go to verse 375 of this in the car ever again. :D

[killer92tacos]

Where did you get this version of the song?

[mog398]

this song is nothing to do with the monarch

[pitchjazz]

@mog398 it's pretty much a play on the monarchs name, so in a way it is! he was the inspiration for the song if you will

[brianboitano]

Not Henry, but Enery!

[80swrestling]

I'm Henery the Eighth, I am,

Henery the Eighth I am, I am!

I got married to the widow next door,

She'd been married seven times before.

And every one was an Henery

She wouldn't have a Willie or a Sam

I'm her eighth old man named Henery

Henery the Eighth, I am!

[pfizzbones]

God help the youth of this world, if this is what is being passed off as history.

[rockinredneck57]

@pfizzbones It's not history, it's just fun from the 60's. He put King Henry 8 in it to express the name., He also used a black widow spider but it's not about science.

[pfizzbones]

@rockinredneck57 I know about the song, I like it. I was just saying, if this is what a kid turns in to a social studies class, then why do we keep pumping money into the Dept. of Education.

[rockinredneck57]

@pfizzbones If they allow them to turn in a music video for a project, I guess putting king Henry the 8th to a song is about as good as it gets. I've heard of others doing videos for school projects. I'd probably do it too if I were in his shoes. If the teacher allows it,then maybe they need to look closer at the school's standards. Maybe he learned something about Henry the 8th in the process.

[hawkmoon03111951]

This isn't Herman's Hermits.

[picassoui]

Great Video and Great Song .. My World History teacher Mr Adams was the spitting image of Henry VIII as he appears in the first painting in this video . i used to tell him so .. he would say off with your head .. but the worst he could do is paddle me and he was such a sweetheart he would not do that unless you burn ed the school down or something ..you could nearly get away with murder with him ...it was a private school and he was also the principal .

[PromoterAndyOliver]

is this herman´s hermits version?

[rockinredneck57]

@PromoterAndyOliver Yes it is.

[AcaciaC58]

we sing this song in choir and the girls say "no sam!" and i think of sam from the lord of the ring too

every time lol

[deathsaurer515]

ENRY THE EIGHTH I AM :D

[ccccockroachCLAUDtv]

yay henry

[66feebee]

Lol..black99238

[joevfsg]

your timings off a little bit

[teencomment]

This got stuck in my head the first time I heard it.

[merpzilla]

@teencomment i'm currently stuck in that phase xD i only heard it today (this version anyway) and i must've listened to it well over 30 times already aha

[black99238]

I'm Henry the eighth, I am

Henry the eighth, I am, I am

I got married to the widow next door

She's been married seven times before

And every one was an Henry - Henry

She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam - no Sam

I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry

Henry the eighth, I am

Second verse, same as the first

[jamjarsjim]

Well Henry must have been a popular name once XD

[uclrichard]

this is a more sophisticated version of early modern history than the recent tv series 'the tudors'...

[mobile513]

Hey, Mr Saturn!

It makes me happy to see random cameos of Earthbound in totally non-video game contexts.

[michael05231953]

Saw them in 1976 in Albuquerque.  Excellent video. Great music.

[SlimeTron5000]

Not the original recording. 'Enery, not Henry.

[toopitoo]

second verse, same as the first :P ahah.

[0976j4]

Terrific video!!!  Superb job.

[TsukiHana146]

My ancestors were Tudors, and seeing this song about Henry is HILARIOUS!! Hehe good job!

[SlimeTron5000]

It is a common misconception this is about King Henry the VIII. The original song title is "I'm 'Enery The Eighth I Am".

[jamjarsjim]

Exactly, they should understand from listening to the lyrics for a start.

They're sining about a woman who's been married to 8 Henry's (Or Enerys whatvere XD)

[SlimeTron5000]

I think the Americans are responsible for the 'Enery confusion.

But this is not the original recording.

[MikeyMadness1234]

youtube fights are so amusing :)

awesome song by the way

[996joe]

It freakin rocks!!

[F6fhellcatace]

i agree 996joe it a sweet & cool song by an excellent group.

[Lity10]

And btw you little dumb retard, if you could spell properly, you MIGHT have gone too fast. But sadly, you can't, you little dipshit. You spell like motherfucking shit.

[keithjas]

I don't wanna play your fucking games anymore because unlike you I have a life!

At least I have grown up and released that this isn't going go anywhere.

Oh and if you are going say anything childlike, I'm just gonna ignore you.

[Lity10]

@keithjas this might be childlike, though rather mature language imo.

FUCK YOU YOU LITTLE DIPSHIT OF A MOTHERFUCKING RETARDED BASTARD, JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP.

AND OH YEAH, YOU HAVE A LIFE. *COUGH<*
