Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Just Because I Know How Much You Guys Love Pop Music and World History

There are two things you need to know about me and this post:  I’m a nerd and I refer to anything remotely good that happens in the month of December as a Christmas miracle.  Go ahead and settle into that.  All right?  Ok.

So I was bouncing around the interwebs today, checking up on my Neopets and doing some research on the effects of excess testosterone in women, you know, my day-to-day, and I ran across these videos on Jezebel.  And you guys, this is the first Christmas miracle of the season.  This is just like the story of Jesus – my lack of a social life is the Star of Bethlehem, and Jezebel is the manger, and these 47 videos of history teachers doing educational parodies of songs like “Fergalicious” (“Pharaohlicious – definition, make them Romans angry”), “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” (“A bunch of linen bandages, some natron salt, a knife – I’m ready for the afterlife”), and “Come On, Eileen” (“Oh, Constantine, oh, a saint of Byzantines, with your edict, you changed everything”)? They’re the little baby Jesus.

Go tell it on the mountain, y’all.  Or post it on your Facebook, because everyone deserves to know history to the tune of Lady Gaga.
