It's been about a year since we last featured the Exodar Disco by Greyfoo. I could be off, though; it's not like it takes a lot of work to get me to play ExodarDisco. Still, we get new folks around here at WoW Moviewatch all the time, and I want to make sure every last person playing WoW is familiar with this song.
If it could ever be said that I have an Alliance bias, blame the Exodar Disco. Moon lights, grooves, and a talking disco ball. What more could you possibly want? I regularly grab a space goat and get my boogie on in the Exodar.
I couldn't tell you what makes this video so brilliant. The song is awesome, the animation is wonderful, and the voice acting is spot-on. But plenty of videos have those things. I think it's something about the raw love and affection for the game, draenei, and disco shown in the performance. It's just all tone-perfect, as if the Exodar were solely created expressly so this video could happen. Enjoy, folks. Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an email at moviewatch@wowinsider.com.
Never retire it! I think a well-timed Exodar Disco article is very important. It takes approximately 6 months to get that song out of your head, so a timely refesher is very important!
I think it's the hook, pretty much everything is forgettable but the hook... I rolled a space goat just so I could dance around the Exodar humming the hook to myself.
GreyFoo is one of the most underrated machinamists on youtube. His awesome voice and editing makes his videos something very different than every other schmuck making WoW videos. His videos deserve way more views.
If you read the lyrics on The Greyfoo's YouTube page, you will see that the word is "moodlights" and not "moon lights." Moodlights were very popular in the Disco era. The Greyfoo knows his stuff.
I know what mood lights are, and that's what the lyrics are; I just assumed Michael was aiming for the whole space pun thing. :p It could very well be a type-o, but the letters aren't exactly near each other.
I'd really like this song but Embersolte's faltering voice really grates my ears. This must have been one of her first videos or something, or she was trying to sing outside of her range.

Don't get me wrong, I love the music video, but It might be time to retire it.

Couldn't agree more. This is absolutely the best WoW song and video, ever! :-D

After a really bad week for several reasons, I needed to smile. Thank you, Michael.
p.s. There can never be too much Greyfoo and/or Embeisolte

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lmsMSQDVPM is my personal favorite song of his.

It's "mood lights" not "moon lights."
Aside from that, Exodar Disco is awesome!

I was pointing out a typo in Michael Grey's article.

That was great! 5 out of 7 of my characters are of the Draenic persuasion. If anyone ever asks why, I'll point them to this video now.
Samuel Jan 13th 2012 3:43PM
It's been a year already? Gosh...

I'm so glad you posted this. It's been entirely too long since I remembered to sing this at anyone who hates it.
bethontheharbor Jan 13th 2012 6:56PM
oh gods not again.. how about some fresh videos?
Faar Jan 14th 2012 10:42AM
Fresh videos you said? Youtube is...*points*...that way.
