History and Literature for Music Lovers


 How would you like to see a history lesson and a few literary works done to music videos.  The Trojan War sung to Tainted Love.  Napoleon sung to Gone Daddy Gone.  Martin Luther sung to Manic Monday.  Beowulf sung to 99 Luftballons.    They have produced 43 videos so far.  Take a look by clicking here.
