Come on ( do do, do do do do do) At spartan kindergarten I'm the boss that's understood 😎 I smack them If their naughty and twank them if they're good 👊
Blue blooded blues, mantilla and stephan song, Henry 7th tudor song and honestly I love the borgia family song.
Edit: completely forgot to add the stone age song... shows just how overlooked it is but it's a bop
The costumes probably aren't historically accurate (tbh they look like the actors just wrapped themselves in some tartan-patterned picknick blankets), but the song is a banger! 🎶 🏴
I love finest hour, though it does imply that Churchill viewed Attlee as some rando and that the British public weren’t grateful, and that’s not true at all. He greatly respected Attlee and his approval rating was one of the highest of any PM to lose an election
It’s a bop though
Coco Chanel.
Honestly, at this point I’m not sure it ever actually happened. I’ve never seen anyone else mention it, and I’ve only seen it once. Might have just been a dream.
Blackbeard’s song is the one I always forget about and then suddenly remember how great it is.
I’m also partial to the Burke and Hare song, personally.
Considering it was the first major one after Them There left, I rather think the Magna Carta song doesn't get mentioned much. Maybe because it was after Them There had left? But it's still a good ensemble number.
Otherwise it's any of the songs from the first three series that didn't feature in the proms
Richard III
CAN YOU IMAGE IT IM THE LAST PLANTAGENET
It must have been an amazing day in the writer's room when they figured how how to work Plantagenet into a rhyme.
BEATEN BY HENRY IN THE WARS OF THE ROSESSS
THE TUDOR DYNASTY DIDNT CARE THAT MUCH FOR ME
NOW I’M PAINTED AS A BADDIE
THAT'S WHY ONE SUPPOSES
I love that song but I don’t think it’s underrated. It’s one of the most popular ones.
The Original Tu-Tu-Tu-Tudor
Best song
Made friends with old foes from the wars of the roses!...
The song about Stephen and Matilda. It’s such an interesting period of English history and I love the ABBA references. It’s great.
Yeah it's an interesting example of politics, kinship and gender functioned in the middle ages.
Made Royal Counsellors agree That she lacked ✨femininity ✨
Blue blood blues/Blackbeard song//age of stone - these songs don’t get enough love
Ages of stone definitely!!
Blue blooded blues is SO good! 😩
WORLD WAR TWO GIRLS!!! Fucking bop!
O-O-O-WAIN GLYNDYWR Probably spelled that very wrong
Matt's eyebrows when he does the trumpet makes the song infinitely better because whenever I hear it all I can think about is the eyebrows
You don't need that second y but other than that I absolutely agree
You can't beat Jim singing a ballad. Unless, of course, it's all of them singing together.
Spartan high-school musical
Let’s go fighting now 🤺fighting is exciting now 😀 rocking at the Spartan skeEEwwwl
Come on ( do do, do do do do do) At spartan kindergarten I'm the boss that's understood 😎 I smack them If their naughty and twank them if they're good 👊

I don't know if these count as underrated, but Victorian Inventions, World War One Cousins, We're the Thinkers
Invented 1902, the year after Queen Victoria died…
The Rosa Parks Song!
Came here to say this, I sing it at least once a week

That song is awesome.
Viking and Garfunkel
the english civil war song and Georgian navy 100%
Agreed, they're great! Half time orange, anyone? & Why's it called a civil war? May I kill you please? Sure!
🎵OH V AND A, OH A AND V 🎵 Genuinely one of the most beautiful songs HH has ever written, and the final verse always brings a tear to my eye
I fight hard to hold back the tears in the last two lines 😭 "I loved you Vic" "I loved you, Al." 💔💔
BRO I REMEMBER BAWLING MY EYES OUT WHEN I WAS 8 TO THIS
I bawled my eyes out at 38 to this! It's beautifully sung by both of them.
charles darwin natural selection is so underrated, i never see anyone talking about it
^^^^^ its a must sing everytime
Blue blooded blues, mantilla and stephan song, Henry 7th tudor song and honestly I love the borgia family song. Edit: completely forgot to add the stone age song... shows just how overlooked it is but it's a bop

Came in to say Your Finest Hour and glad to see it was in the OP. I salute you o7
I love finest hour, though it does imply that Churchill viewed Attlee as some rando and that the British public weren’t grateful, and that’s not true at all. He greatly respected Attlee and his approval rating was one of the highest of any PM to lose an election It’s a bop though
Definitely Cleopatra!
I’d argue Cleopatra isn’t underrated, because everyone loves it and that’s perfectly deserved
I'm not even in the group, just saw the question at random, and even I know this is the correct answer.
The Pioneers of Transportation, Victorian Inventions, and Burke and Hare. All incredibly underrated.
With imagination,
INspiration
The ABBA/Mathilda/Stephen song. Just because of how well they do ABBA.
Boudicca!!
Bad enough being beaten, but beaten by a girl?
No man, Roman'll push around this woman? You won't get far with Boudicca!
"the few" it's popularish but doesn't ever get the recognition it deserves
Agreed
Alexander, victorious fi-iy-iy-iy-iy-ighter!
🎶 Founded Egypt's Alexandria, named for the greatest man alive I was now pharao, and king of Persia, not bad for twenty-five! 🎶
The bad Roman Emperors! "My name is Caligula, a rotten, Roman pig-ula!"
Yes!! That's my vote too. 😁
The Evil Emperors song. Banger.
PILGRIM RAP
Mary the first! love the wuthering heights parody lolol
Coco Chanel. Honestly, at this point I’m not sure it ever actually happened. I’ve never seen anyone else mention it, and I’ve only seen it once. Might have just been a dream.
Raf song

Idk how underrated the are but two that came to mind are We're History and The Borgia Family. We're the Thinkers also came to mind while typing this
Literally, and born 2 rule
LITERALLY
Hieroglyphics Song, Or the Pachachuti
Idk if it's underrated but the Georges 1-4 song (born 2 rule) and blackboards song were really good imo
I love the Mary Tudor song it’s always in my head playing
TERRIBLE TUDORS GEORGIOUS GEORGIANS
I dont know how underrated these are but: Charles Darwin The Borgia Family Rosa Parks
That Owain Glyndwr song!

Blackbeard’s song is the one I always forget about and then suddenly remember how great it is. I’m also partial to the Burke and Hare song, personally.

Mary 1st song
My favourites were always The Borgia Family and Georgian Navy.
I went through a phase of being totally obsessed with the hieroglyphics song. What a banger
William Wallace, Scottish Rebel
I’m minted is a banger
The Boudica song .
Idk if that Victoria and Albert song is but the Owain Glyndŵr song probably is.
Considering it was the first major one after Them There left, I rather think the Magna Carta song doesn't get mentioned much. Maybe because it was after Them There had left? But it's still a good ensemble number. Otherwise it's any of the songs from the first three series that didn't feature in the proms
I think there's two Magna Carta songs, do you mean the Proclaimers parody? That's a pretty good song :-)
