This video has always been a favorite of mine. Granted, the original song was created by Lady Gaga. I acknowledge that this fact alone disqualifies this song for play in many parts of the country, but not here. The tune is catchy, the lyrics were interpreted well into WoW, and the performance was dead on.
When patch 4.3 comes around, this will be my soundtrack as we get ready to throw down with the black dragon of mayhem.

Mind reader! How did you know that I had this song in my head this morning?

"I acknowledge that this fact alone disqualifies this song for play in many parts of the country"
What does this mean? Are there states where she is banned from radio? OH GOD. If so, those are places I definitely never want to go. I'm not even a Gaga fan, but anywhere that would shun her from radio must be a back-woods, backwards place indeed.

You mean people in the back woods loathe Marilyn Manson & Madonna copying attention ho's?
I better go get my banjo and canoe!
Lloren Sep 29th 2011 12:39PM
Loathe and ban are very different things.

@ John. Please. I grew up with Madonna. I think she's the greatest diva EVER and though I see rather obvious similarities between the two, it's very clear to me that Gaga has talent Madonna never will. Gaga can write songs on her own, play them on an instrument and actually *sing* them live. Madonna, bless her heart, can't do any of those. Unless you call her full-hand guitar strumming on stage "playing". You know, it's ok to like them both. You don't have to choose.

Caz, I cannot upvote either of your comments enough.

Ha! I've been listening to this song once a day for like a week for no particular reason. I guess its just destiny.

Not sure how I missed this video ... pretty cute :D Did a nice job with the lyrics, too.

You're right, she really should just take it off...
Sorry, had to be done.
Xabidar Sep 29th 2011 1:42PM
Dat ass...

This is the perfect time for this video to resurface, what with all the dragony-goodness coming up in the next patch. :)
/weep Korialstraz. :'(
This version is so much better than the original!

/cries like a bitch
I can't do the Nexus anymore. I just don't queue for randoms when I go through these days.... If you did the questline in Coldarra, it's so sad to see her in their, driven insane by Malygos...

What makes it worse for me is that Keristrazsa's human form is the same as Jil's lol it was like killing myself over and over.
Drakkenfyre Sep 29th 2011 9:39PM
I think this would make a good track for the next patch.

Deathwing doing the human dance is awesome. It's so beautifully undignified for the mightiest of dragonkind since Galakrond.

I do adore this song. I love lore songs and this is so well done. Perhaps not the most amazing machinema, but lyrics always win over with me.

I never get tired of this - especially since Tyrannothefirst was, until recently, a guildie of mine. He's fantastic.
Still won't do my idea: A tribute to Tirion Fordring in the style of a Dean Martin Celebrity Roast.
