WoW: Big Blue Dress

OK, I know you’ve probably heard of World of Warcraft. It’s the single most popular massively-multiplayer online role-playing game ever made. With over 5 million subscribers, it’s simply… massive. There is no other way to describe it, and the high-level game is all about players vs. players.

I uploaded a copy of this video “Big Blue Dress” to my server. Hope you get a kick out of it.

Here are the lyrics as I could transcribe them:

I’ve been kickin’ ass since the dawn of time. I’m just a killing man that’s reached my killing prime.

I burn and I plunder as it suits my desire. The weapon of my choice is great balls of fire.

(Chorus) So why, I ask — this doesn’t make much sense — that a man of my stature should have to wear a dress?

I mean, what, may I inquire were you thinking on that day when you conjured up for a man like me a robe that looks so gay?

Ahh… Say bye-bye and your troubles melt away. Ahh… He uses fire but his robe looks so gay. (End Chorus)

I was taught my craft at the dawn of pain. You may not like my methods but you’ll surely know my name.

I just think incendiary thoughts and my hands burst into flames. A few moments later, and you’ll never be the same.

(Chorus)

(Instrumental Solo)

So if you’re embarassed and you hang your head in shame, and you’d like an opportunity to redeem your worthy name,

well just remember this when next you look to kill that a man who’s truly skilled can look quite good in twill!

(Chorus)

      1. WoW… didn’t know about WoW?

        5 million Americans play this game regularly. That means that if there are 100 people in the room, chances are at least 1 or 2 of them fork out $15.00 a month to play this game. The company which owns it is raking in at least $50mil every single month from this game. I’m thinking about buying it and trying it out.

          2. WOW is great

            I have World Of Warcraft and theres actually 8 million playing now. I have a 70 hunter and i love the game. Very highly recommend it.

          3. At the time I wrote…

            At the time I wrote the original entry, 5 million was accurate. I wonder when the growth will slow down? I’m guessing fall of 2008.

          4. 9 Million

            Is the current count. On a related note, the economy of WoW is now greater than some small countries. At last estimate, over 50,000 people worldwide earn their livelihood from WoW. These are mostly “goldfarmers,” people in China and Korea who work as power levellers. The sweatshops of the 21st century.
