[APH] Fall of the British Empire

A short vid. I put together today that shows the rise and fall of the British Empire.

Starts off showing how in England's younger days he sailed and grew in power, but when he finally decided to settle down and raise America....... T.T

I don't own the artwork, APH series, or the song.

If you know the names of any of the artists, place a comment so I can give them credit. ^.^

Lyrics:


Eat, sleep,
And breathe that you're full of the stuff
Go back, get tied up tight
Wheat-meat-dairy-free, tee total,
So happy clappy high on life
You should try it, you know
Go on while no one's looking

A-ha! caught you now!
Caught ya red handed in the biscuit tin!
Cost you to keep me quiet

Golden boy boots
Pocket pedestal
Picking shots at my moves
Plastic, tin can, paper, separated
Busy bee wave, wave 'save the planet' flag
But sneaky in suburbia

A-ha! candid camera!
Hook, line and sinker
For the four-wheel drive
Cost you to keep me quiet!
Keep me quiet! (keep me quiet!)

Nicest sweetest
Utmost in everything
It's so charming, very charming
Well reckon play the fool no one's ill at ease
And put the deepest swiss bank trust in you
No one saw it coming

Aha, Cost you to keep me quiet....

Great work!

But I have to admit, I'm not sad about America breaking free. xD I would shoot myself if we were still a colony.

"...but when he finally decided to settle down and raise America....... T.T"

N'aaawww~ T_T

Besides the fluff/angst here... who thinks we should see more of Pirate!England?

[GamagothRULES]

Seems like a lot hetalia fans forget that the British Empire was at its height AFTER the American Revolution.

Haha, anyway, I love Iggy. <3

[Vault87Fallout]

@Dzubur93 Oh my bad- I meant a Republic. I like the idea of having our own flag, not someone elses on it. Hopefully there will be another vote sometime

[Dzubur93]

@nakedirohtime007 they are independent, they r just part of the commonwealth. If a british colony becomes independent, but does not form a republic, they are eligable to be part of the British commonwealth

[nakedirohtime007]

As much as I love Iggy, I think Australia should follow Alfred's lead and become Independant!....:P

[BibiTheRat]

Actually this would be the rise and fall of the British empire in America

[BibiTheRat]

Great video, I love the song.

However this is not the rise of the British empire since the empire included parts of the Caribbean, India, Australia, New Zealand, Parts of Africa and Asia and others as well not just North America or specifically the USA.

It’s also not how it fell but it is a good video on America's independence.

Ugh... every single time, the end of this gets me *snifle*

[argentumcruor]
