I recorded this exactly a week to the hour of my mom's death. This was her favorite song, a 1930's ballad that Mamma Cass covered in the '70s. RIP Mamma

Till There Was You Cover

Our Lady Jane song to Prince's Cream. We had a great video but it mysteriously disappeared from YT

Lady Jane Grey

We made this a while back but have not yet filmed a video. Thinking about making it animated with this manga of me.

Fall of Rome

Totally random test I did a while back trying to see if I could record with a Snowball mic at school (listen close and you'll hear the school bell). Really off on my timing but did in one take.

IfYouGo AwayTest

A fan submitted French lyrics to our remix of the Nancy Sinatra version (written by Sonny Bono) of "Bang Bang". We decided to fool around and make it sound like a Parisian cafe. I have always thought the guy in the photo looks like the other half of Historyteachers - Herb

French Pompeii

I really can't wait for the video to come out for this one. This is one of my favorite pieces we've done, plus I did all the photography that will be included.

Romeo

I can't wait to film this, but I need some pretty amazing costumes

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 4
The Peace of Westphal’ia ended the 30 Years War
When he came of age demanded complete soverignty
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; Protestants no more!

L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’etat c’est moi!

L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’etat c’est moi!

L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’etat c’est moi!

L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’etat c’est moi!

Wearin’ my heels
and my lace and my wig
livin the life of a libertine
dancin’ ballet,
levee’ and couchee’
that’s right, you gotta follow my routine
Buildin’ Versailles
I’m an exquisite guy
with unpara-lleled vanity
quite an athlete , I can even sing
when I was a kid I liked drawing

Identified with Appollo, Greek god of arts and pea-ce
Started Academi-ies, had-a-mistress named Lou-ise
Annexed Madagascar and improved the milit’ry-y
(Bulked up) the treasury, boosted the bourgeoisie-ie

From the House of Bourbon, the Capetian Dynasty
Bolstering (his) power with the divine right of kings
Had a Grand Dauphin but all (his) other kids died young
His son was important in the Spanish Succession
War of Succession, 12 years of no fun
The turmoil left France bankrupt but in the end we won
Stop ballin’, start crawlin’, I don’t wanna hear anymore
Talk to the hand I am Louis Quatorze!
Fouquet’s fallen, it’s appallin’, he was flauntin’ his wealth, you see
No finance minister is better than me!
Stop ballin’, start crawlin’ I don’t wanna hear anymore
Talk to the hand I am Louis Quatorze!
Stop stallin’ , have – a- ball and, come check out my Hall of Mirrors
I bring the glamour and the glory to court!

L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’etat c’est moi!

L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’etat c’est moi!

L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’etat c’est moi!

L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’e L’e l’e l’etat c’est moi!

Ermine-trimmed cloak with the fleur de lys
Glamourous bloke, that’s me, Louis!
Wearin’ my heels and my lace and my wig
Playin’ at cards and gamb-a-ling!
Movin’ court to Versailles, away from Paris(Par-ee))
to control the ari-stocracy
forbid English wool, started a girls’ school
introduced paper money

Louis Fourteen
Later in life, I got a new wife
dontcha know we secretly married?
The real Sun King
Seventeen one five, that’s the year I died
Europe’s longest reigning king


Louis XIV

Just foolin' around with one of my favorite holiday songs.
