Maybe I'm just letting my Horde colors shine, but I think this is hilarious... And, even if you're a Night Elf fan yourself, there's little in the world that's more amusing than a singing Tauren. In all seriousness, however, this is one of the finalists for the Xfire Summer Movie Contest.
Update: I noticed the video link was no longer good, so I fixed it. Yay.

hahaha, that was pretty good, though I had some difficulty making out what they were saying.

Wow, thanks for doing a write up for me! I'm glad you liked the movie. Xfire doesn't permit the contest entries to be released until the contest ends, and so the YouTube movie will be taken down shortly. I'd like it if this link was changed for now, because I will be making changes to this movie (as well as Inventing Swear Words 2) and releasing them myself when the contest ends. However, let me give you a screenshot of the movie (http://www.brandonmdennis.com/files/images/barbershop.jpg) and use this to link users to where they can download the file on Xfire (you can download it here: http://www.xfire.com/files/2215/). Its all free anyhow, and this way we're doing it the way Xfire would prefer. If you like the movie, vote for it in the Xfire forums, which you can do here: (http://www.xfire.com/xf/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=91474)
I'm glad you liked it!

That was terrible! The singing is horrible! You say elves sound effemenite, how about the guy that sang that song? It didn't sound like any Horde would ever sound! Besides, the lyrics are stupid and you could barely hear what they were saying! The song is just horribly written as far as notes, transitioning, lyrics, and tone. This song is just awkward and the only people that would like this are skinny dorks that weakly yell "for the horde!" in public.

As much as I'd like to say that movie was enteraining and humorous...
I think the singing got to me the worst. While I'm a night elf and all in-game, I have no particular attachment to the race (and its dignity status). The lyrics were just bland and...
Ah, it's late, I'm grumpy. From a cool standpoint, three cheers! Just need to go to that barbershop quartet school a little more often, guy(s). :)

That was terrific! The singing is top notch! You say elves are ef‧fem‧i‧nate, and I agree! It sounds like the kind of sound any more mature Warcraft player, IE: Horde, would like! The lyrics are cheerful and I particularly enjoyed how clear and pertinent they were! The song is just well written as far as notes and chords, and the intonation was perfect! This song is pleasant and the only people that wouldn't like this are unappreciative alliance toons (usually 14 years of age or younger) that probably didn't bother turning off their Justin Timberlake MP3's when they listened to it.

Utter crap.
Just remember,, a Tauren is only a fire-blast away from being a steak. Mmm medium rare plz.

I love stereotypes!!! I love it how the Horde seems to think that all Alliance are children... ignorance FTW! I can't watch the video at the moment, computers at work will not allow it. But I'm sure it is funny to some extent.

I think it was great, I dont see how people are bashing it because the so into the alliance / horde feud. I mean come on, its just a game and if you guys think you can do better then this video then prove it.
Great work!

I play a Nelf, and I thought this vid was one of the funniest things I've ever seen! LOL
Great Work and Hats off to you and your three quartet buddies!
Although I was sad to see the Dwarves dance along with you and not defend us!! (Gotta keep an eye on those stumps from now on!)
