In year 3066, people won't have to remake music to imagine how it would have sounded like. They'd have a millennium of songs stored on the Internet. And the worst part is that in year 5066 this comment will be seen as old as we see the old Egyptian culture. The concept of time is certainly shocking and it gives me goosebumps.

As someone who studied some Old English, read notable Old English poems in translation, and am the son of a English major who studied Beowulf in the original Old English, it excites me to see someone translating modern days songs like "Pumped Up Kicks" into Old English and to make it so catchy. For a very old language, Old English is very beautiful to hear spoken and sung out loud. I can see Old English translations of a whole lot of modern songs being played in a Mead Hall in some alternate reality world where English speakers have devolved into living and speaking like the Danes and Saxons from the Anglo-Saxon Period, drinking mead, singing joyfully, and hoping that the grim and greedy Grendel doesn't devour them.

OK, so Medieval-style covers of popular songs are fun even when they are just instrumental. But my eye kinda starts twitching when people put lyrics to those, and those are just modern English with a few "thee" and "thou" here and there (and usually used incorrectly), add a few "-eth" are thrown in for good measure, and that's it. It's just a pet peeve of mine. Then there's the ones that actually try and make the stylization somewhat believable, with lyrics that are a passable approximation of Chaucer's English, or at least an early modern English vibe. Those are fun, because the lyricist puts in some damn effort. And then there's this. This is impressive. This is gold. It's in a league of its own =D

I love how much German I could find in these old lyrics and sounds. It becomes so clear, that English is an Germanic language

English was kidnapped from her Germanic sisters and forced to wear a Latinized dress.

Its a wild mix of german, english, dutch, Latin and nordic influences and as someone who speaks dutch, german and english fluently, the lyrics are very understandable. Thats interesting

English doesn’t borrow words from other languages, it mugs them in dark alleys.

I appreciate how it’s ACTUALLY in old english. So many people think Shakespearean English is ‘old English’ and it triggers me every time

Elizabethan English is the start of modern English which is what we speak today. Prior to that it was heavily Scandinavian and German influenced. There are few people alive today that could have held a conversation with a common man back in 1200 AD or so. Even if you spoke Latin or French you would still have a hard time and could only converse with the clergy or the aristocracy. Language is forever changing.
