WoW Moviewatch: Take My Quest

TaintedLore is back with a new video titled Take My Quest. This video was created by ViKarious Productions. (That's not a typo -- the "K" is capital in their name.) Of course, the singing itself is by Sharm. I think I may need to brush up on my pop music, because I couldn't be sure whether the song is a parody, or a completely original work.
At any rate, the video work in this piece is pretty good. It's got a good variety of action and models, all which come together in proper harmony with the song. I've not seen anything by ViKarious before, so this was a pretty good break onto the scene for them.
My only complaint, of course, is the return of Auto-Tune. I've always enjoy Sharm's singing, and think she could be fairly talented. Like I said when Why I Raid? was released, I guess auto-tune could be being used for artistic reasons, but it's just not necessary. The voice work is great without it.
Edit: There's a rumor this may be a parody of the Destiny's Child song, Say My Name.

Good Video. ^_^ It's a Parody of Destinys Child - Say My Name

this song is a parody of Say My Name by Destiny's Child and quite a good one, says this observer.

I can confirm this is a parody of Say My Name by Destiny's Child, used to hear it on my wife's radio all the damn time.

You must live in a hole to not know that song...

Someone said that this is a parody of "Say My Name," by Destiny's Child.

I can also confirm, for the nth time, that this is a parody of "Say My Name," by Destiny's Child.

My heart tells me it's a parody of "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child.
Tirris Jul 7th 2009 12:54PM
Hey, is this song by U2?
Vladeon Jul 7th 2009 1:38PM
no, I'm pretty sure it's by Destiny's Child, but I might be wrong.

for some odd reason, this song reminds me of "say my name"...
gryx Jul 7th 2009 12:45PM
I think I've heard that song before, I'm not sure this is a parody of it.
Trippleye Jul 7th 2009 12:48PM
Does this sound like Say My Name by Destinys child to anyone else?
Endario Jul 7th 2009 12:48PM
I'd appreciate at least three more confirmations that this is a parody of "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child.
Thanks xoxo

Slightly disappointing. Was expecting a parody of "Be My Guest", a la "See My Vest": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms_pqumzZGM&feature=related (terrible recording, lol).
Also auto-tune can go DIAF.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who was thinking it'd be "Be My Guest" instead of "Say My Name". And I really don't like that electronic garbling in her voice there-- is that the auto-tune you're talking about? It took what could have been an otherwise nice voice and made it sound...cheesy and flat. (Not flat as in 'opposed to sharp', but flat as in no depth.) Got annoying, so I didn't finish watching.

Someone should make something with "See My Vest"!!! That would be so amusing!
yokumgang Jul 7th 2009 3:15PM
I just hope for the day I can hear "Look at my chest".
Keyra Jul 7th 2009 1:23PM
Ick. I made it a minute in (of course about 30 seconds of that was the title credits) and that was about all I could stand of it. The autotune is so overused as to be painful. Visually there is too much soft focus, which is a shame because it's otherwise put together nicely. That song though...gah! Time to listen to something else immediately or I'll have it running through my mind all day!
