I think it's a) the rhythm of the verse (same as in the original, obvs) and b) alliteration (as opposed to the original) - Bully and Buskin Boots - your ears just like that stuff :)
@QJAndra Sometimes, when people say it's not a serious issue, it doesn't make you smarter than them and you actually are overreacting by writing as much as you are. In this case, it's just that.
Imagine an english longbow, which generally has a heavy pull and is very large. Imagine a child, not only pulling back said bow, but rapid firing it. Robert was built different.
I may be mistaken but, at least at some point, archery training was mandatory for peasantry in England (in case the good lords decided to make them go kill each other yet again) so it isn’t that hard to imagine that a relatively young kid has some archery training. Furthermore, not every English bow was a 100+ pound war beast of longbow, designed to cover huge distances and/or pierce armor. There were in fact far lighter hunting bows around as well.
Longbow practice was ingrained in English children from a very young age. The longbow wasn't exclusive to the English, and the English longbow wasn't particularly heavy or well-made. What set the English longbowmen apart was a cultural and religious practice of training with the longbow every sunday. Men, women, and children alike. Peasants and kings alike
@@AndorRadnai Er kommt für dich, would be wordly. A little bit weird, but a german would understand. It was ment to be a joke, the maincomment said it sounds much more threatening, I said this is because it sounds like german, a language that (so say some) sounds like war or just hard.
The funniest part of this is... This actually sounds like it could be some authentic folk song about a Robin Hood-esque figure seeking the heads of the nobility, king and his men after they ruined his life, likely killing his parents and siblings. If I didn't know the tune to Pumped Up Kicks, this would blend right in in a folk music play list. You guys are really good at this.
"All ye bully-rooks with your buskin boots / Best ye go, best ye go / Outrun my bow" That's just... an utterly perfect translation of the chorus. I don't think I can describe my awe any better
"Buskin, a thick-soled boot worn by actors in ancient Greek tragedies. Because of the association, the term has come to mean tragedy." Very clever symbolism within the context of this song.
I did Pirate-style lyrics. If anyone wants to convert the music to pirate-style, feel free to use my lyrics: Blackbeard hath a swift ship. He shall blaze ‘cross the sea, whilst ye sail at slow clip. He hath some burning candles... tied up in his beard; he’s a crazy Kidd. Yea, found a 42-cannon warship… in the hands of slave traders on the Caribbean Sea; I know not whence, yet he cometh for thee; yea, he cometh for thee. All ye other sea-dogs with thine hoisted-up colors, best make haste, make haste, flee from my cannons!... The Crown labors ‘til sunset. He retireth in darkness, he retireth in darkness, and He shall make a mighty jest… as treasure’s in the ship, and it’s packed in His chest. We hath sailed since days of yore. Yea, Our deft gunners be now a fast-lit fuse. I light the way with my candles … and bellow, “thy ship be afire; ye’ve lost yer sails, yea!” All ye other sea-dogs with thine hoisted-up colors, best make haste, make haste, flee from my cannons!...
still too close to english today, English has had so much outside influence it was nearly a different language in the 1400's (near the end of the medieval era) Look at this, it's really interesting: ruclips.net/video/N1oZf-OxxEY/видео.html
@Elliot Torres The weak are crushed in nature it is unnatural that they fight back. What makes something weak is that it is bested by the strong the moment the weak defeat the strong they are not still weak they have just become the strong. But those who wallow in their weakness will always be weak.
The really great part about this is that this is the first version of this song I heard. Now, when I hear the song in public I’m quietly singing to myself: “All ye bully-rooks with your buskin boots...”
Grade A comment. But small reminder that the point of the Jester was to point out the follies of the kingship and it's governors, providing the common man a voice to not only humble the court, but to serve as a mocking advisor, usually to cut away the ambitions of various power-hungry nobles. When the Jester is killed, the people lose their voice, the nobles lose their leash, and the king loses perception.

M zc Actually you don’t need an alternate universe. Since the universe is infinite somewhere out there would be a world where this song was made in medieval times if you think about it.
"Dear friend. For doth have been thine lone companion in this hard time at the academy. And for that, I shall giveth knowledge of great importance to thee, as a token of thine gratitude. For it is thee who gaveth me a privilege of knowing him..... *delay yourself from visiting this fair academy in the morrow. For there may be-ith a tragedy."*
He pulls out a sheet of parchment. “I’ve always wanted to be a poet instead of a squire, no more pretending to be something I’m not! Make love, not war!” He cries. Everyone applauds as he walks out of the classroom. Wholesome ending achieved.

Firing into the crowd, one after the other. For hours he sat, until his arms were but weary of the pulling and stringing of the bow. Until all were dead at his feet. Until..... “Thy fight is over. Tho be freeth now.”
Garisong It is “sometimes” used with positive connotation, it’s like modern day, some groups of men will call each other “cunts” or “bastards” & it’s a term of endearment. The general use however is to refer to a genuine bully.
they wouldn't understand a single word. Medieval english would be this: hit biþ gelíces. Grundinga missenlices. [It is(sounds) like this. Totally different.] "þ" is "th" but I know what u mean. Try itr anno 1616, and Shakespeare would have died to use it...
It's from Henry IV by Shakespeare. The full line is even more glorious: "Why, thou clay-brained guts; thou knotty-pated fool; thou whoreson, obscene, greasy tallow-catch."
Richard... the image of a rabbit archer hunting a dog is actually from an illuminated manuscript held by the British Library, and is known as the 'Smithfield Decretals'. The work dates to around the year 1340 and was compiled in Southern France, probably Toulouse. Check it out, there's lots of superb images as every one of it's 675 pages are superbly illuminated, many focusing on nature being comically reversed, the prey animals becoming predators. And yes, I agree, they're glorious... truly inspired !
When thou art preparing for thy lessons next morrow, but a courier arrives bearing the message "Thou hast been a true friend and companion to mineself. Come ye not to Gascon on the morrow."
Original: Quiet kid shoots a school Medieval version: Oppressed peasant boy, son of a retired English Longbowman, enters a noble monastery with his father's bow.
Medieval rabbits being badasses (and hunting not only hunting dogs, but human hunters) is something of a common trope in mediaeval marginalia (doodles in the edges of manuscripts) and art. In fact, the only one that springs to mind as more common is snails being ridden as though they were warhorses (and there are a fair few examples of a knight on snailback charging a rabbit, that is often carrying a massive cleaver).
Yeah. The old illustrations in the margins of books were ironic, symbolic, or humorous in nature. Knights were always fighting snails in book margins. There’s arguments for the symbolism of the snail but I wholeheartedly believe it was for lols. ‘Look at this dumb fuck knight fighting a giant snail, what a fool, snails can’t fight back’
“Thou art an artless, greasy tallow-catch”. I’d like to think that this was an educational vid to help widen my vocabulary. Can’t wait to spam this on the groupchat.

@@Banana-wr8dq Wrong. That the earth was round was common knowledge in the middle ages. The idea that they believed the earth was flat was invented in the 19th century, to support the ideologies and historical narratives of the day.
@@Banana-wr8dq I'm not sure where you get the idea of a rising number of medieval flat earthers. The round earth is practically taken for granted in medieval art and literature. In addition, the biblical case for a flat earth is rather weak, and medieval exegesis never supported such a conclusion.
The German imperial Crown jewels include the so called Reichsapfel which is a golden sphere with a cross symbolising the kingdom of God upon the earth which was supposedly the realm of the Holy Roman Emperor. That alone is proof that the medieval elite knew very much about the earth being spherical
I've been periodically listening to this song off and on since its first release. I now associate it with two incredible road trips and I listen to it while studying for college exams.

There's nothing wrong with being a tallow catch. It's someone who makes Tallow candles. Which was probably quite useful in those days. But for the purposes of the rhyme it works just fine.

Exactly what i thought lol - id be a fecking hero at court with this one !
Well youd have to learn old English first
Me too lol
they wouldn't understand a single word. Medieval english would be this:
hit biþ gelíces. Grundinga missenlices. [It is(sounds) like this. Totally different.]
"þ" is "th"
but I know what u mean. Try itr anno 1616, and Shakespeare would have died to use it...
I'm so blown away by how clever you are with your lyrics. Everything is on point. I love it.
...especially the arrow. 😇
This makes a darkly themed song into a noble hero's journey.

Richard... the image of a rabbit archer hunting a dog is actually from an illuminated manuscript held by the British Library, and is known as the 'Smithfield Decretals'. The work dates to around the year 1340 and was compiled in Southern France, probably Toulouse. Check it out, there's lots of superb images as every one of it's 675 pages are superbly illuminated, many focusing on nature being comically reversed, the prey animals becoming predators.
And yes, I agree, they're glorious... truly inspired !

Is that a hunting dog being shot by the rabbit?
*Oh how the turns have indeed tabled...*
it actually kind ofmakes sense when you consider the song is about school shootings
Medieval rabbits being badasses (and hunting not only hunting dogs, but human hunters) is something of a common trope in mediaeval marginalia (doodles in the edges of manuscripts) and art. In fact, the only one that springs to mind as more common is snails being ridden as though they were warhorses (and there are a fair few examples of a knight on snailback charging a rabbit, that is often carrying a massive cleaver).
@@ala5530 Is that why the Black Beast of Caerbannog was a rabbit?
@@d.n5287 yep
Yeah. The old illustrations in the margins of books were ironic, symbolic, or humorous in nature.
Knights were always fighting snails in book margins. There’s arguments for the symbolism of the snail but I wholeheartedly believe it was for lols.
‘Look at this dumb fuck knight fighting a giant snail, what a fool, snails can’t fight back’
“Thou art an artless, greasy tallow-catch”. I’d like to think that this was an educational vid to help widen my vocabulary. Can’t wait to spam this on the groupchat.

@@Banana-wr8dq Wrong. That the earth was round was common knowledge in the middle ages. The idea that they believed the earth was flat was invented in the 19th century, to support the ideologies and historical narratives of the day.
@@Banana-wr8dq I'm not sure where you get the idea of a rising number of medieval flat earthers. The round earth is practically taken for granted in medieval art and literature.
In addition, the biblical case for a flat earth is rather weak, and medieval exegesis never supported such a conclusion.
The German imperial Crown jewels include the so called Reichsapfel which is a golden sphere with a cross symbolising the kingdom of God upon the earth which was supposedly the realm of the Holy Roman Emperor. That alone is proof that the medieval elite knew very much about the earth being spherical

"Thou art an artless greasy tallow-catch" should be a more common insult.
Yea
There's nothing wrong with being a tallow catch. It's someone who makes Tallow candles. Which was probably quite useful in those days. But for the purposes of the rhyme it works just fine.
That's a sicker burn than a plague infested witch trial.
