“History for Music Lovers” adapts famous historical events and figures to famous songs. It began in the early 2000ʻs, started by two teachers of ancient/Medieval history (Amy Burvall and Herb Mahelona) living in Hawaii who wanted to find creative ways to introduce course content.
The project went on hiatus as the two creators moved on to different teaching jobs and different cities/islands and schools. They decided to make the videos available to the public (unmonetized) in case they might prove useful to other history teachers.
The worldwide pandemic of 2020 allowed them to revisit this project, upscale older footage, complete unfinished projects and contemplate new ones as the pandemic has greatly facilitated distance collaboration.
Hopefully these videos will spark discussion, questions, debate, and help teachers engage their students in the fascinating, endlessly complex drama of human history.

Louis XIV ("Telephone" by Lady Gaga)
A lyric video to a musical parody about the great "Sun King."
LYRICS
Age of Absolutism, century 17
European monarchs took control of everything
But France had the ultimate- his name was Louis
Louis Quatorze , the Fourteenth…
Known as the Sun King, He was the Sun King (Louis Ex One Vee)
Louis Quartorze, the Fourteenth, He was the Sun King
Mazarin was regent ‘cause the king was only four
The Peace of Westphalia ended the 30 Years War
When he came of age demanded complete sovereignty
Unchallenged authority led to stability
Stop ballin’, start crawlin’, I don’t wanna hear anymore
Talk to the hand I am Louis Quatorze!
nobles fallin’; it’s appallin’ how I treated those Hugenots
Edit of Nantes revoked; Protest...

This is my favourite song by them.
w song lol.
Came here from my history teacher 🧍♀️
So catchy. TWO THIRDS!!!
This video is probably 90% of the reason I passed my tenth grade social studies regents
I can't believe Eminem sampled your song! /s lol
My history teacher played this in class yesterday and it didn't got out of my head since
Bro why does this sound catchy and scary at the same time
My history teacher played this song in class 9 years ago and it’s still stuck in my head
When we had a test about Louis XIV last year, I remembered a lot of information from this parody and only had to translate them to my native language, so thank you! <3
I wish this came out in April 2020 instead of 2010, that would of made this even funnier
I need more music like this , ❤❤❤
I was 14 when I heard it in my high school years now I’m 27 and here back to hear this jam cuz it won’t leave my head 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
song so good I had to listen to it back at home after my history teacher showed it too the class
Omg that was me 7 years ago 😅 I took this like in 2018ish and now I'm a 1st year med student
Perhaps she will sing one about Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov and the Russian Revolution?
hala dinleyen oldlar varmi
I remember I watched this like 2 months before Covid lol.
Who here in 2024
Telling my kids this was SIX
😡
Story of French Revolution
I miss this song bro 😭
Thanks Mr hammer for showing me this song
Dam history is... not describable by words. At least from what i know.
This makes me miss 7th grade ngl
Shit was a jam in class
This is so underrated
We all searched for this
This is deadass older than me and my teacher showed it to me in class two years ago.
If you didn't have epilepsy before watching this video you sure do after
Eating raw marmite caused the start
K Howard, she’s been taken advantage of multiple times. She never said “I die a queen, but I would rather die the wife of Culpepper”. That was made up to ruin her image. Culpepper took advantage of her, like others, and keep in mind she was a young woman. She was falsely accused, there wasn’t an actual affair.
Grade 8 nostalgia help 😭
Catherine of Aragon : why Henry Henry: BLOODY MARY
just graduated a few months back, crazy my teacher had us watch this in 6th grade
Un insensato momento
Even 2024 I still listen to this
Remember my 6th grade history teacher playing this like 11 years ago, and anytime I hear “My Sharona” I just hear this
You can't silence this race of poets, conquerers and explorers
For Henry’s first wife, she couldn’t control the gender of the baby, Henry should’ve been grateful for even having a baby at all-son or daughter.
a song about the crusades which would be described in modern words as lofi-esque is not what I anticipated to come across but I love it, I have no clue why there are so many people complaining that this isn't their generic glorifying metal piece or why this puts arguably horrible people in a "bad light" but from my point of view this is a very nice cut with an even better song, sadly I am far too late but I would love to see more songs done by you
Wait Stoppppp I’m Now wondering If We should make this Tick Talk Viral
feels different after the newest eminem piece
Why is this so catchy 😭💀
About every month or two I revisit this song and it never fails to disappoint
Thanks, Mrs. Duncan for showing us this ........ "wonderful"..... Music video.
I’m going to use this video to teach my children about Henry the eighth
We need a covid song.
MY 8TH GRADE TEACHER WOULD PLAY THIS SONG EVERYDAY WHEN WE WERE READING THE ILLIAD😭
