Wow, the musical production values on that were amazing.
I wonder if that was composed by the WOW players themselves, or if they just took an existing song and edited the WOW video to fit the song.
The song sounds a bit like Capitol Steps. Ima go research it.

Ah, see, not being too into broadway musicals, I had no idea the song was from "Avenue Q".

I'm pretty sure the song is from the musical "Avenue Q."

Beat you by mere seconds. 
This, just a couple minutes after I'd researched a song for Doug Burnside. (He wanted the song from a recent CSI episode, which turned out to be Gary Jules' cover of Tears for Fears' "Mad World".)
Today seems to be the researching-song day.
Anyone else need to find a song?

Well, once I learned the song was from Avenue Q, I just had to type www.avenueq.com to get the official web site for the musical.

Yeah, I saw Avenue Q when I was in NYC this fall. It was pretty funny, and I pitty any uninformed parent who takes their children there. The song about racism is particularly funny, I'm ashamed to say.
Oh, and there were several people in the audience who had no idea who Gary Coleman is, which is sort of necessary for that show

404'ed. Anyone have a new link?

Heh, probably 404'd because it used *gasp* an existing piece of copyrighted music.
You didn't miss much. All it was was this: Characters from World of Warcraft doing their built-in dance moves, and edited to fit a ripped audio track from the album version of Avenue Q. Truthfully, the amusing part of it was the song. The video portion was a big *shrug*. It was only funny to me because I've never seen Avenue Q before, so I'd never heard the song. The song itself is quite funny all by itself and doesn't need the WOW video treatment to make it funny.
I mean, I'm a fan of machinima as much as the next guy. And I admit, seeing video-game characters do something non-video-gamey is mildly amusing for about the first ten seconds. But this is something like the fifth time so far that I've seen World of Warcraft characters edited into a music video, and it's getting pretty old now.
The only truly funny WOW video I've seen so far is an unedited moment of actual gameplay, with the teamspeak audio track included. It's a group of adventurers planning a raid outside the entrance to some lair, and one of the idiot team mebers gets impatient and charges in before everyone else is ready, getting everyone killed due to the ensuing panic. (Don't have the link, sorry, but I'm sure someone else here can supply it.)

It's not strictly "for realz," but still funny (even though I've never played WoW).
*edit*
ps- Merry XMas and happy holidays, everyone!
