In retrospect this is probably not one of the best episodes due to my having picked songs that were by and large quite accurate... Though my pedantry knows no bounds, and I shall do what is necessary to achieve peak nerdiness.
Making this video has taught me just how immensely stingy the BBC can be with their copyright - they've blocked two previous versions of this video worldwide. The most recent occasion was over a year after it was first uploaded, up until which point the Beeb seemed happy enough to just run ads on it. I personally think this is bullshit, but I complied anyway because I can't be dealing with YouTube's claim system and the possibility of my channel being closed.
Despite being the "2.1" version, this is technically the fourth version of this video. I fucked up the editing in the short-lived third version (2.0), so this fourth version is edited properly and has large segments of the Kings & Queens song that didn't have any inaccuracies in removed, to try and placate the BBC copyright hounds. No more weird speeding-up. And now that I've had this experience I don't think I'm gonna try and cover Horrible Histories again, it's just far too much hassle.
I also took the time to add in a few extra inaccuracies my eagle-eyed commenters noticed. Thanks to Matthew Vouloukos for the Peru inaccuracy, David Guthary for the "English" Kings & Queens inaccuracy and several other people for spotting that I mixed up east and west in the original.

back for the 4th time to say that yes, Americans consider 2 hours by car "a quick jaunt"
-
Another inaccuracy: They claimed that if the Earth's rotation was faster, and a day were an hour long, then school would be over in a minute. Assuming high school typically lasts 6 or 7 hours, it is more like 15 minutes.
-
I'm sorry. Your inaccuracies have to be phrased in the form of a question.
-
Animaniacs: says a vaguer version of a fact to fit a comedic achievement This channel: Wait, that’s illegal
-
Wait, does “Carolina” refer to North or South Carolina Edit: Why are people still debating this? It’s been like a year
-
-
1:50 ah yes, my favorite place to visit, KONG Ik it’s probably meant to represent Hong Kong, but they could at least made it smaller so it could fit
-
Right, when William says "1066, the Domesday Book, I gave to history", he means he gave both the year 1066 AND the Domesday Book to history, not that he gave the Domesday Book to history in 1066.
-
Magna Carta: exists King John: "I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that."
-
Let's just admire how this man took 83 seconds to explain the situation between Maine and Spain (and that was a triple rhyme) LOL🤣🤣🤣
-
I'm almost glad this keeps getting reuploaded so I can rewatch it again and again
-
Me: noding to everything My brain: I DONT UNDERSTAND ALL THIS SMART STUFF
-
Yakko’s face when he says that it’s 3:00 in Spain: WILL YOU JUST KEEP QUIET
-
He didn’t say “Jefferson, Missouri” is actually “Jefferson City, Missouri”.
-
Also, George IV did defeat Napoleon. He wasn't king but Prince Regent, as George III was mentally unfit to rule at the time, so his son did rule the country at the time
-
"149 days shy of 64 years" Oh yeah, I'm not 14, I'm 13 years, 11 months, 30 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds old. MY BAD
-
2:15 It would have been correct if Yakko had said "Italy" instead of "Spain"
-
And now, the third song has gained one more inaccuracy. Queen Elizabeth the Second no longer "completes the mix." The Queen is dead, long live the King.
-
5:06 there’s actually an animation mistake you didn’t point out, the Gulf of Mexico is apparently land and not water.
-
3:30 Wakko is like, “You done? Can we start singing again?”
