R.I.P Kurtus Cobaenus 😢

This was a really fun one to do, Lemme know what you think :)

Wanna follow and support me?

The background for the video is a painting called "The Sacking Of Rome" by Joseph-Noël Sylvestre, 1890.

As always, Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all the kind words of love and appreciation folks. Ya'll always leave some dank n' spicy comments on every video XD keep it going please. Also, apologies if I am failing my usual reading and hearting all of your comments, It has been getting really hard to keep up with the massive influx of comments lately and I will try my best to keep doing so :)

Also here be the lyrics, Courtesy of AB :

Salvé, salvé, salvé, parve?

Pará pílís, trahe amícós
Perdere, fingere fruor
Perlassus est et superbus
Ó nón, cupídinem sció

Sine lúce, angor minus
Oblectáte, nunc híc sumus
Mé sentió aeger, stultus
Oblectáte, nunc híc sumus
Barbarus, albínus, culex et, mea libídó
Hei! Hae, ha ha ha ha!

Peior est bonitás meá
Ipsó múnere beátus sum
Noster globus semper fuit
Et úsque ad fínem erit

Et cúr sapere dédiscó
Ita, ut rídére, putó
Dúrum rébar, dúrum rérí
O vah, bene, níl tantí

Negátió! Negátió! Negátió! Negátió! Negátió!

I remember this concert, where Kurtus Cobanus jumped into the crowd after smashing his Lyre.

[ArghastOfTheAlliance]

-What kind of music are you into?
-The 90's music.
-1990's?
-No, 90's.

"A new procrastination achievement has been unlocked."

[ShiaLaBunion]

My favorite part of this kind of meme is how many different types of nerds it summons

[jackw]

what the alt kid meant when he said he was born in the wrong generation:

[aus]

who's still listening to this in MMXXIV?

[Imlaor]

“It’s not just a phase, mom” - Nero, 17

RIP Kurtus Cobaenus 💔 It's been MCMXXVIII years since his passing but he's still deeply missed

[TRIIGGAVELLI]

THIS is what the internet was intended for.

The Nirvana cover is ok, but nothing beats the original Latin version.

[darthhelmet]

Dude with Latin degree: *My Time has come*

[Unenvarjo]

Played this to my 2-yo daughter. Now she is wearing a toga and looking thoughtfully at the map of Gaul.

[bostontownylife]

I love how it's not just a 1:1 translation, but it's interpreted in a way that a Roman would understand.

[dfreak]

The next song is "Du hast" by a 5th-century Germanic tribe.

[JonathanCandor]

Imagine all the theories anthropologist's will come up with as to why bardcore exists

[isrulius]

I vividly remember the night Gaius Kurtus Cobainius the Elder premiered this song at the Amphitheater of Pompey in the Summer of 91AD. The plebs went nuts and were throwing Sesterti and Denari on the stage. I even saw a patrician woman lift her tunic! Oh how I miss those days.

[hamish]

It is just immaculate the "hello, how low" rhymes as "salvé, parve". absolute favorite song of this style ever

[huldrrrr]

this was what Nero played when Rome burned

[makidtrej]

Only 90's kids will remember this. 90's b.c. kids, that is.

[zacharyfortin]

This just might be one of the greatest masterpieces the Internet has ever created.
