Puritan Faith (George Michael's 'Faith' Parody) - @MrBettsClass

How do you create a successful colony in the New World? Well, you gotta have faith, Puritan faith.

New videos every Tuesday (sometimes Monday!)

Well I guess it would be right for me to move from England,
Because I don't like the king,
And his religious rules, no,
I think I just might, settle next to the Pilgrims,
And start a Great Migration,
and Massachusetts too,

Oh but we'll follow Winthrop across the ocean to build a model "city upon a hill,"
And as long as you agree with our religious notions,
You can join our royal colony 'cause we got some room to fill,

We're the Puritan faith,
The Puritan faith,
We're the Puritan faith,
The Puritan faith-a-faith-a-faith-a,
Quakers, I know you're asking "can you stay,"
And we say please just go away,
We don't want you as our friends,
Roger Williams can also hit the road,
Religious tolerance's too bold,
You can bring those hippie thoughts down to Rhode Island,

We've had a meeting of the General Court, decided to banish Anne Hutchinson,
And if you say the accused have little recourse, well our justice system works fine, just ask the witches of Salem,

We're the Puritan faith,
The Puritan faith,
We're the Puritan faith,
The Puritan faith-a-faith-a-faith-a,

My teacher said that this is another one of her cringy videos so she decided to put it on for us cause it was on our quiz and I had to search up this song and to be honest it’s not that bad and it’s actually kinda good

This is the greatest historical parody of all time

Thank you for creating these videos. I just discovered them. I homeschool my ADHD son and your videos are the first history videos I found that can keep his attention. He was so excited to tell me about them, and he could remember what they were about. Thanks again.
