Okay, this is one of the geekiest things I've ever seen, and I love it. Also, am somewhat proud a getting most of the references. Though I have to say having spent the last year listening to the History of Byzantium podcast helped, because the references aren't all anglocentric but really try for European (and part of Asian) history. And everlasting kudos to the lyricist(s) for coming up with this gem: "Few things here to read but the Nibelungenlied"!

Now I want to do a Frederician or 18th Century Enlightenment version, hmm..... When I have time! Whenever that will be! But I want to do it!

I saw these blogged by someone before the pandemic, they're a lot of fun

I particularly like a couple by Hildegard von Blingin'

Bad Romance - https://youtu.be/i2zpbcW-h-c?si=Nnqaz1Al2tg_M8RQ

and

Holding Out for a Hero - https://youtu.be/Nx-x_1lIXh4?si=iwTu50-HWkuvS6xX

These are adorable, too, as is their take on Jolene.
