Official music video for Wind Rose's power metal cover of Diggy Diggy Hole, the dwarven mining song originally written by Yogscast.

HN mostly drops it as a joke whenever digging, tunnels or Dwarf Fortress come up.

One of the "I'm trying to find it" ... Fantasy metal. I was wondering where I'd find Blind Guardian ( link link ) or the newly emerging dwarfish metal genre with Windrose (best known for their rendition of Diggy Diggy Hole ▶ this video but they've got other music that celebrates fantasy dwarf culture - link )

Completely offtopic, but my first reaction was this song. Enjoy for those who would enjoy such things: ▶ this video

Semi-serious. It regularly picks up an entirely bizarre song, however in doing so it's also found some bangers. My kid loves diggy-diggy hole and it played the wind rose version ( ▶ this video ) which is awesome. I asked for I wanna be like you for the kids and got the expected one a few times. Then one time it returned the triple J version by the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets ( link ) which became the new version for running around the room pretending to be a rollercoaster. These are covers at least, but it will also just play the weirdest mishearings of something. So semi-serious as I'm mocking it getting things wildly wrong, but also legitimately we discover new music this way.

I feel like this[1] should be the theme song of that game. Never played it myself, I hear it's epic hard but this song plays in my head every time I hear the name. 1. ▶ this video
