It's been a while since WoW player Dan (aka Nemikahn) came up with this WoW-flavored twist on "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)," released in 1998 by Baz Luhrmann. "I have shared it on my guild's forums and once posted it on the Blizzard forum," he writes, "only to watch it scroll quickly off the page since nearly a year has gone by since anyone has seen it." We're glad Dan contacted us to share it anew (and for those of you who don't frequent the Blizzard forums). The Lurhmann song was inspired by an essay titled "Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young" written by Mary Schmich and published in the Chicago Tribune as a column in 1997. Both its subject and tone are similar to the 1927 poem "Desiderata." While Dan makes no claim to the original concept, the WoW-related revision is solely his own creation.

Ladies and gentlemen of Azeroth,
Roll a bank alt.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, a bank alt would be it.
The long-term benefits of bank alts have been proved by scientists,
whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering leveling ...
I will dispense this advice now.
