Given the way these things go, I’m probably way, way behind on this stuff. Fortunately I now spend too much time hanging out in the WoW.com chatroom where in addition to the lolcats, people post all manner of interesting things.
So it was that I learned the Discovery Channel had this delightful commercial with an incredibly catchy little song driving it. Take a moment and watch if you can.
It was apparently so catchy that people started uploading their own versions, which prompted the Discovery PR department to push for the viral advertising full bore and encourage more of the same.
Enter Irdeen with a purely delightful WoW version, which is big fun by any measure, but in particular after seeing the original commercial:
I’ve actually thought time and again about starting up a blog whose sole purpose was to collect and categorize all the WoW music out there — because there is a ton of it these days, and I keep stumbling across more and more stuff that was released years ago. Makes me wonder how much more I’m missing.
It was actually the WHU BBQ that got me thinking of this. I was scheduling something for the spring and realized that we should do the BBQ again. Then I thought it’d be awesome to have a massive compilation of WoW music to play at the event (or even better, a live band playing wow stuff – how awesome would that be?).
Does a site like that already exist? Something complete with embedded YouTube links and links to any mp3 downloads available, etc.?

Still like “The internet is for porn” WoW version.
That video is hilarious – made me crack a huge grin. Got some odd looks from work folks.
I love the idea of the wow music and video site – there is warcraftmovies but that’s videos of all kinds, so not really specifically for music. Great idea though

that was pretty pro. fwiw, i like Nyhm a lot. if you notice, in his videos, he does collaborations with others who do their own songs so that may help you dive deeper into the network of wow music.
Nyhm’s channel: h ttp://www.youtube.com/user/phrog801
An example of a song he collaborates with others on is: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF5gcosu9qM
One of my favorite Nyhm songs: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xciuYTeu4Qc
Heres another great quality WoW song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hgcy6bsg4g&feature=related
Ive done a couple myself (including a hunter one), but i dont have the means or know how to make a tolerable audio or pleasing video presentation.

Man, it’s been a while since I last saw a WoW movie like that and holy shit the quality sure has improved.
Wooooo! WHUwtfBBQ!! let the good times roll!
Really well done movie and song.
Tough nothing beats the ‘internet is for porn’ ones.
Awww, I’ve always loved those Discovery ads, now the WoW one makes me all warmand fuzzified. As does the thought of the OMGWHUBBQ!

I may have some ideas concerning WoW music and the WHUBBQ. It would take a bit too long to explicate here, though. I’ll email the boss soon and see what he has in mind, then maybe add my own ideas to them. Regardless, this was a really fun article.
Here is the anti-elf anthem. Frost might appreciate this. Its made by Oxhorn. He’s a tauren, but his heart is in the right place.

LOL awesome… Hey Frost i noticed you are getting into the same problem I am with your new gear lacking hit rating. Are you using a potion for hit when you raid or are you raiding non hit capped? Just currious. I got the serpent helm from 25 man Marowgar the other day and while My 25 man Ony helm was slightly better the ICC helm had a bunch of hit on it. Hate getting a DPS upgrade only to have to shuffle around gems for hit..

Check out the wow.com machinima stuff also. Tons of stuff there.
I love it!!! this is a wow must see.
I may have missed it, but you can look up “PVP Gurl” on youtube. I’d post a link, but I’m on my phone :/ all her stuff is free on her personal website too. They’re all WoW cover songs, most complete with awesome videos too
