WoW Moviewatch: Mad World of Warcraft Cataclysm

The music is really where Mad World of Cataclysm shines. She did a great job of keeping with the rhyme, meter, and feel of the original song. Her performance, however, is amazing. Brunhila really nailed the vocals in a way I wasn't expecting; I feel like she knocked it out of the park. I kind of wish she'd cover the original song, considering how much emotion she squeezes into the song.

It's on that shelf over there in between the Tact and the box of "I Can Do Everything Better Than Everyone Else."

Very, very well sung. And yeah, I felt like this too.

I really like the end of the song.

This went right up to the top of my favorite Warcraft songs. Just awesomesauce.

Everything about the song itself is awesome! I will say however, can we chip in and buy her a full version of FRAPS? :/

Very, very nice parody.

Brunhila is part of my guild. When she posted it we all thought it was great. We were blown away by it since she never told us she could sing! And yeah we are getting her a full version of fraps. :D

Does she play the guitar part as well? That would only make the video more impressive

Tell her she does awesome work for me!
Honestly I was mostly struck by the fact I have a guildie on Malygos named Brunhilda, he can't sing [that I know of] but he can play all sorts of musical instruments.

Agree totally on the vocals, was NOT expecting that.

WoW. Really.
You'd never have expected to feel so much, in a WoW related song.
I ended up wanting to give the character a hug.

"World of Warcraft - Cataclysm, which I actually really like now. Just wanted to QQ."
I loved that little bit at the end, great song.

Really witty lyrics, well parsed into the original song and beautifully sung.
5 Stars Brunhilda, well done. Very well done :)

I didn't have high hopes, but that knocked my socks off. Perfectly fitting lyrics and didn't ruin the song. I rank this next to "Come Meet Me at Ulduar".
The lyric "I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad.... Disenchanting all these epics after wanting them so bad" was soooo awesome. lol
Love the original and loved this.

I love "Ulduar"! That is one of my favorite wow music videos and favorite wow parody songs of all time. My husband, who also plays wow, always knew when I was headed to a raid in Ulduar because I'd be belting that one out. "Baby it's alright now you don't have to pug 'round me...." I'm so honored to have my song compared to that one.

yep -- right there, she had me hooked.

Awesome song, it brought tears to my eyes actually!
