Tolkien's World of Middle-Earth inspired me to make an entire Hobbit+LOTR themed album. If you enjoy this please check it out here: Physical: bit.ly/LVOfficialLOTRAlbum Digital Versions: smarturl.it/peterhollensmusic -- It's called "Misty Mountains: Songs Inspired by The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings"

When everyone in ur DnD campaign are bards

My first thought: Hank Green can sing? Second thought: Hank Green can sing.

I never thought I would need a cover of That's What Bilbo Baggins Hates.

Somewhere up in heaven, JRR Tolkien is smiling.

Beer and nerds with precisely enough time on their hands.

If I ever walk into a pub or bar and someone starts singing this. I will immediately stand on a table and join in .

When the Irish drink, they sing and when they sing, they drink. (a witness)

0:05 The Green Dragon 0:30 Hey Ho, To The Bottle I Go 0:50 Blunt The Knives 1:35 Bofur's Song

"Hey, Peter, I'm so drunk... I think there are two of us?" "Actually, Hank, there are like, six of us." --Two totally real quotes from Peter and Hank, 2016

For someone who's science teacher showed us countless of Hank's Crash Course videos, this is *very* interesting to watch.

So, after having watched this a lot, I've finally noticed two little nice details that I like. When they sing about the Green Dragon in the start, they shoot the green ball on the pool table into the whole. Later when they sing "throw the wine on every door" they shoot the red ball in. The details shall not go unnoticed, despite they have been for the past 4 years.

Hank: "Okay I'm excited for this! I'll see you tomorrow to start recording :D" Peter: "Oh before I forget, I'm going to need you to bring like 12 shirts..." Hank: ".... what" Peter: "Maybe more"

"Sir! It's the clones! They've.... started to sing..." "Finally." Whoops, wrong franchise.

Lyrics: *The Green Dragon* Oh you can search far and wide, You can drink the whole town dry. But you'll never find a beer so brown (but you'll never find a beer so brown) As the one we drink in our hometown. You can keep your fancy ales, You can drink em by the flagon. But the only brew for the brave and true... Comes from the Green Dragon! *Hey Ho, to the Bottle I Go* Hey ho! To the bottle I go To heal my heart and drown my woe Rain may fall and wind may blow But there still be Many miles to go Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain And the stream that falls From the hill to plain Better than rain or a rippling brook Is a mug of beer inside this Took! *Blunt the Knives* Blunt the knives, bend the forks, Smash the bottles and burn the corks Chip the glasses and crack the plates That's what Bilbo Baggins hates! Cut the cloth, tread the fat, Leave the bones on the bedroom mat Pour the milk on the pantry floor Splash the wine on every door Dump the crocks in the boiling bowl Pound them up with a thumping pole And when you've finished if they are whole Send them down the hall to roll! *Bofur's Song* There's an inn, there's an inn, a merry old inn beneath the old grey hill, And there they brew a beer so brown The Man in the Moon himself came down One night to drink his fill. The ostler has a tipsy cat that plays a five-stringed fiddle; And up and down he saws his bow, Now squeaking high, now purring low, Now sawing in the middle. So the cat on his fiddle played hey-diddle-diddle, a jig that would wake the dead: He squeaked and sawed and he quickened the tune, While the landlord shook the Man in the Moon: 'It's after three!' he said. Now quicker the fiddle went deedle-dum-diddle; the dog began to roar, The cow and the horses stood on their heads; The guests all bounded from their beds and danced upon the floor. The round Moon rolled behind the hill as the Sun raised up her head. She hardly believed her fiery eyes; For though it was day, to her surprise they all went back to bed!

Today's episode of Crash Course is: How to be a bard

I really love the unique timbre of Hank & Peter's combined voices.

I can just imagine the pitch from Peter to Hank: "So, Lord of the Rings songs. Except it'll take three weeks to film because of the 2.5 billion costume changes, and we can drink. Also I need you to sit in a dark corner for part of it." Sounds brill.

I really like the contrast between Peter's very clean and precise singing and Hank's more raspy spontaneous one.

I'm singing this at the Green Dragon in New Zealand before I die, God willing.

Who knew Hank could sing! Great! Love the energy!

why can't bar people sing like this while being drunk lol

I just trying to think what the owner of the pup is thinking "Ah, two customers. How is go.... You need how many beers?! You need to do what?!"

I somehow got introduced to hank Green through this of all things ~2ish years ago 😂 Amazing music I love coming back to it

what is my crash course teacher doing singing like a nerd

To people who haven't read the books: 2:25 Elves (and Hobbits) refer to the sun as Her, and the moon as Him

I must be drunk, I'm seeing about twenty Peters and twenty Hanks...

Girl: “he’s probably out cheating on me” Guy:

This song is my COVID 19 lockdown discovery, and it is such a relief in this pandemic. I hope all of you here are good. We will get through this, with our loved ones, and will again have breakfasts together like hobbits :))

A party of Bards, in a tavern.

This is a collab that I never thought I'd see, but am 100% thankful that it happened.

Imagine being so famously persnickety that there's an entire song about how you do your dishes.

"He's Got To Be The Finest Bard I Have Ever Seen" "So It Would Seem"

I really wish we had full versions of all of the songs.

this just got better and better!

This will never get old. Anyone else trying to learn the song

how has shatny tiktok not discovered this yet

This is awesome! Also, I was overly excited to see Pizza John lol

Pub singalongs are a blast, but you have to be in the mood. Does 'in the mood' = 'drunk enough'? Maayybee... ;)

Every pub will be singing this once we're all out of quarantine

Been watching Hank for years, he actually lives pretty close to me, had no idea he could sing

So, I know that this might be lost in the sea of comments, but I thought that this was too amusing to not share. So I've gotten to playing Dnd with my parents and my dad was playing as a bard. So what my dad did was he was trying to boast morale in this town they were in and he rolled really high on performance. (Bards man.) So what do I do much to my parents amusement? I bring this up on spotify and say "This is basically what's going on in the inn." What made it even better was the fact that both my parents recognized where it was from almost immediately because both are super into LotR. It was an awesomely amusing moment.

Hank and Peter are the duo I never knew I needed.

When I, an Irish drunkard, a Viking warrior, as well as a bloody dwarf, heads to the pub.

This is the content creator crossover I didn't know I needed.

I live in Missoula. I was actually going to the bar that day and couldn't get in because of the filming.

That Pizza John sweatshirt, though

Get Well soon Hank 🎈🎈🎈 🍻

1:39 Peter's like: "Ugh...that drunk dude that nobody likes..."

Do the theme from _Firefly_, "The Ballad of Serenity"!!!! Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand…

This is the best collab I have ever seen.

2018 (me): Starts getting interested in LOTR 2018 (YT): Nah 2019 (YT): yeah 2019 (me): Playlist loops song for 1 hour

“And to her surprise… They all went back to bed!” 😂 This explains a lot about the singers.

Peter Hollens, Pentatonix and Home free all released a video on the same day! tell me thats a coincidence!

I am so HAPPY right now. This made me smile. Thank you

I NEED a one hour version of this!

This never fails to make me smile. Wish people just burst out in songs like these at bars. I would love being a part of that!

Wow, Hank Green...never thought you were this musical, surprised me!! Anyways, great job Hank!!! And Peter, great as always!!!

Thank Hank you did something with Hank Green the is amazing

Bought this on iTunes over a year ago and I still think this is THE most played song in my 2k+ playlist!!

I wish they did things like this in real life . that would be so cool to have a bar do this

At first I thought "man a lot of people look like Hank and Peter" Then there were four And five and six And endless Hanks and Peters

Absolutely love this song... But who knew that Hank Green could sing?!?!?! I mean sure he and his family are epic but singing??! xD

The girls locker room: OMG did you see how cute Tyler was. The boys locker room:

Hank Green earned that $35 fr

This is absolutely incredible 💙

I freaking loved this tune in the movie and this is absolutely amazing!

You hear that lads, he says we’ll blunt the knives

Hank green ended up being my teacher without em knowing hahaha my teach used lots of his videos and this song was my first introduction to Hank. Made learning from him alot easier for whichever reason. Happy hes cancer free for now 😊 my classmates were pulling for em. Thanks for the song and your teachings.

my cheeks hurt from smiling so much, anyone else having this problem?

Ha! Love the "Blunt the Knives" song. Also, props on all the little visual tricks.

1:34 is the song we're all here for.

0:19 was that Merry saying "Pippin!" in the background?😂

I would give my left arm to go to a pub filled with Peter Hollenses and Hank Greens

This was VERY VERY cool. My family and I (all choir singers) read the hobbit and LOTR together as a family and made an audiobook of it when I was a kid, and Mom composed music to go with all of the songs, including the ones you all sing here! It is interesting to hear them sung to a different tune than the one I have set in my head years ago by my mom, haha! Great job guys, I think Tolkien would be proud :) (I actually do some LARPing and always go as an elven bard, and most of my songs come from Tolkien's books! The Merry Old Inn song is a favorite)

You could say this video is a CRASH COURSE in awesome

today I learned that hank can sing

This is SO much fun!!! You guys are both awesome. :)

I was standing in the kitchen drinking a beer and trying to remember the Green Dragon song….and I found you. Glorious

That one bit: "THE ONLY BREW FOR THE BRAVE AND TRUUUUUE... Comes from the Green Dragon!" sounds like an advertisement jingle xD

Aren't you guys a little TALL for these songs?

Any chance we can get a full version of The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late?

Can we plz bring back Drinking Medleys?!!!!! I love to enter a bar & start a medley with everyone in there

Is there any chance we'd ever get separate full versions of these songs?? These would be a great addition to any SCA feast or firewalk!

I can't believe you did a collab with HANK GREEN!! How did I just get this recommendation?!

I only wish I could put this on loop without the speech after the song.

I sang this in the Green Dragon Inn in Boston. They just looked at me funny.

Peter and Hank: Drinking Midley Me, an intelectual: ah, so Hobbit and Dwarf songs cause they're the masters of this craft?

The harmony at 0:20 is what I LIVE FOR!!!!! if I could just loop that one part, I would lol.

Does anyone else notice Peter in the white shirt, drunk? Hank gives him the funniest look. xD

all dislikes are from the clerics that need to heal the barbarians in the party whom are forced the fix all the bards fckups every time.... they hear the tune and instantly regret waking up lol

The UKposts algorithm has me pretty well figured out, I guess. Hank Green singing Hobbit songs falls very near the middle of a Venn Diagram I didn't know existed, but am very happy to find.

Peter please do a cover of any song from Hamilton the musical. That'd be amazing. And thank you for the great videos, keep it up.

My kids have officially asked me to stop playing this song... The quote of the night is "Oh Mom, not that Peter Hollens song again!?! Can we listen to other ones, please?" Needless to say, HUGE LOTR fan and love the album you did of those songs. 😄🎶

0:26 was the most harmonious part here for a moment i felt like a mini Middle Earth emerged in this modern world, which was magical❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

AHHH HANK GREEN, THE HOBBIT, AND BEAUTIFUL SINGING IS THE LITERALLY PERFECT!! THIS MADE MY DAY!!!

These Deep voices at 0:20 just give me goosebumps 😍😍

7yrs later...multiple times watching this video....Just now noticed the Pizza John Hoodie....

I just discovered this song a month ago... I am now sad that there is a 6 year period that I could have listened to this song...

Oh you can search far and wide, You can look the whole youtube But you'll never find a cover so fine (But you'll never find a cover so fine) As the one we're listening right now, (As the one we're listening right now) You can hear their fancy remix You can listen them by the speakers But the only cover for the brave and true... ..Comes from Peter Hollens!!
