We did not start the fire..... but the Middle Ages

[joluoto]

Okay, this is just very good. They took Billy Joel's "We did not start the fire" but supplanted the Cold War for the Middle Ages. And I actually got most of the references.

Seven papal regicides throws me.

I went to Wikipedia and did not check on the accuracy of this list. Wkipedia shows seven assassinations of popes (which is regicide) in the ninth and tenth centuries. The information below is from Wikipedia:

I ran into this a week ago. Excellent find, my friend.

The group "Bardcore" have a long list of covers.

It is truly amazing that Catholicism and Christianity even survived.

Wow, what a terrific channel!

Due to the leads posted above, I found this gem which happens to be a cover for a popular song with which I was very enamored. I think the medieval cover sounds even better!

"Somebody That I Used To Know" (Bardcore Medieval Style Cover with Vocals)

 

[GIJane]

Bardcore is freaking awesome

Possibly the 2nd best cover of Hurt by NIN. Best, of course, was Johnny Cash
