VIKING REACTS | WIND ROSE - "Diggy Diggy Hole"

[@LPyxel]

The fact that this song was first sung by a random chubby bearded ginger British chap as part of a bit he had in a Minecraft Let's Play series is hilarious. I was just a kid when I first watched that, and then years later Windrose came out with this BANGER. It hit me right in the childhood.

[@delord1619]

Last winter after the snow thrower died, I had this bloody song stuck in my head the whole time I was shoveling out my driveway...

[@LPyxel]

@@delord1619 *I am a dwarf and I'm diggin' da snow...*

Let's not forget the original Yogscast version, which Wind Rose covered. :)

Far continuance of shenanigans, all ye who's see this and saw windrose's other version of diggy Diggy hole... Any got the balls to comment here?

FOR ROCK AND STONE! Created by the Minecraft community and adopted by the Deep Rock Galactic community and then pretty much became the anthem for all Dwarven gamers everywhere. :D

[@AIHumanEquality]

Dwarves did originally come from Norse mythology.

[@AnaSolVa]

The original yogcast song is also a bop. The music video is fun, and the video where they show how they recorded it is hilarious as well

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

I concur, both videos are awesome 🥰

[@Titoppan]

Simon from Yogscast 👍😁

[@aprilvoecks5877]

You have to look up the whole story about the "Diggy Diggy Hole" phenomenon. But you might like their song "Drunken Dwarves". They also have one about the Lord of the Rings called "There and Back Again" And Wind Rose is Dwarf Metal.

[@feuerklinge9004]

They got a lot about LotR and at least one about Warhammer, sadly they don't have one about Deep Rock Galactic yet. :(

[@asdrake1327]

[@xdragoonzero0]

​@@feuerklinge9004Maybe if they do a sci-fi themed album.

[@AIHumanEquality]

They have a few about LOTR including one long one about the Battle of Five Armies.

[@Skyfighter64]

One could even call the genre "Heavy Mithril."

[@ConnorSinclairCavin]

Yogscast Definitely never had any clue what their offhanded conversation would inspire haha

[@SlimThrull]

Most people never have any idea.

[@ConnorSinclairCavin]

The original Diggy Diggy Hole, the remake, and this cover are all just amazing

[@galadballcrusher8182]

And then there is also Wind Rose's dance remix version ^^

[@yaas368thedev8]

4:03 Bro paused at the right time XDDD

[@Deilwynna]

windrose's lyrics is more typical fantasy power metal lyrics but heavily based on tolkiens hobbit and lotr series, this song is one of their few outliers being a cover of a yogscast song that came from a minecraft clip, the costumes they wear in this video is the same outfits they perform in live to my knowledge

[@_blood_moon_proto_1500]

5:06 not sure if anyone has said so, but this is purely a minecraft so, no, thats not a joke either, it stems from a joke from a minecraft smp survival series by at this point the heavily mentioned yogscast, specifically simon who at the time used a dwarf skin and i think still uses that very same skin to this day, this whole song is my childhood and good times crammed into one

[@lordgenerias]

I can't think of a better description for this kind of music other than "Heavy Mithril". And the world needs *more of it.* Raise a glass for good tunes! 🍺 Also, I love the "Yes!" when it kicks in for the first time. The guitar busts down the door, surprise, and then the kind of "Yes!" that just says "I am here for everything about this". This is now on my playlist when im playing a survival game with digging mechanics.

[@Cordelia53]

All the boys from Windrose are from Italy and thier style is based on LOTR. This song Diggy Diggy Hole was a song originally sung by The Yogscast and inspired by the famous videogame Minecraft. I love these Dwarves of Metal...they are jut epic.

[@CrimFerret]

This song is a total earworm, but it's so good it's not a problem.

[@roulette8299]

Wind Rose is an absolute trip, love their songs and I hope you check out more of their stuff

[@Juan-Dering]

An interesting thing about the song. The evolution of it makes it start to sound like something a work crew would sing to keep time and entertained. Those kinds of songs, despite being simple are some serious ear worms.

[@jackfrost6842]

I think the word you're looking for is a shanty

[@Juan-Dering]

@jackfrost6842 Not necessarily, Shanty often associated with seafarers. Work songs are just that, sung by prison laborers for example. Or the old slave songs from pre-civil war America called field songs. They all aren't just shanties.

[@jackfrost6842]

@Juan-Dering yeah you're right. What is a better word for "work song" tho?

[@Juan-Dering]

@@jackfrost6842 There isn't one exactly. A work song is a work song. Shanties are a type of one. But the ones I'm specifically referring to were just called Work Songs, they never were specifically defined beyond what they were made for. They are more focused on an actual type of work, often used to keep rhythm for the particular work being done. In this case, digging. Thus it would be called a Digging Work Song; and no. You wouldn't call a Digging Work Song a Shanty. Because a Shanty is it's own separate thing very much a defined term. Sung by sailors.

[@jackfrost6842]

@Juan-Dering good point

[@AnikaJarlsdottr]

what I love most about the music video is seeing the drummer going ham during the solo and quite clearly having the time of his life xD

[@Silenceisdeafing]

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

There is also a slightly different version by the channel "Clamavi De Profundis" which is also pretty darn awesome

[@kuradkuruta0404]

Wait, they also did a cover of this song???

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

@@kuradkuruta0404 Yes they did - for April 1st. And I find it quite hilarious.

[@feuerklinge9004]

My first time here and instanly bonus points for the greeting with the horn and amazing background. Looks amazing. 🤘

[@meneermeyer]

After this song they made an album Warfront, which has no reason to be this awesome. It's not following this Diggy-diggy-hole 'comedy' style, but they doubled down on epicness. I can highly recommend 'Gates of Ekrund and 'Together we Rise'. edit: and 'Army of Stone' BTW they're headlining a tour in Europe in fall and already have sold out shows. BBTW they're touring with All for Metal, which you should totally check out as well!!

[@zannebrazeau]

l love how catchy this song is

[@VikingReacts]

It is right?! I couldn’t stop myself joining in during editing :p

[@colleenmiller3191]

I have come to face the truth, this is my national anthem.

[@andrewvalentine6977]

Discovered this fairly recently. Love it. Not often you come across a song that is both epic and funny.

[@StarboyXL9]

"Diggy Diggy Hole" and especially this cover of it by Wind Rose, is like "We All Lift Together." Once you hear it it'll never leave you, and that's a beautiful thing.

[@AIHumanEquality]

Something I've always wondered is what music was like for the vikings during the Norse eras. We have no surviving records of what types of music they would have had, makes me wonder cause today heavy metal is more common in Scandinavia than anywhere else in the world. They have the most metal bands.

[@JessWLStuart]

Thank you for this straightforward and non over the top reaction video! Your reactions are genuine and authentic!

[@markgladden430]

Drunken Dwarves

[@Didymus20X6]

They have some more serious songs too, like "Wintersaga," "Army of Stone," "Fellows of the Hammer," and "Returning Race." But they also just released a video based on Deep Rock Galactic called "Rock and Stone."

[@andyhens3387]

Sneaky "dwarfs won't fly so high" reference to the moonquest song 😜

[@Thnielsen85]

This is a cover, but it is so much their own style that they might aswell have written it themselves. Please dive deeper into Wind Rose! They are so freaking awesome! :D

[@WhiteIkiryo-yt2it]

The outfit is sick, I wish that was just the standard fashion because it looks 100% more awesome than the poor taste today.

[@FuriousFrisian]

love it, good to see you enjoy Wind Rose, but they made a different one too. Wind Rose - Diggy Diggy hole (Dance Remix) realy realy worth giving a go too!

[@DanielCase-c4w]

This is the theme I have in mind for EVERY Dwarven-style (I have TWO Huergar Oghmir in Mortal Online 2) characters I have. This, and "Gates of Ekrund". Oh, and more recently, "Deep Rock Galactic". Do I hear a Rock and Stone!?

[@angelmartinsanchez5782]

It´s a extreamly epic song about...well,digging a hole. And I love it 🤘

[@steffent.6477]

Napalm records has all the funny/goofy bands^^ I love them for that.

[@christinestromberg4057]

I love this! I saw the song being performed at a rock festival recently, on television, and some of the audience doing a digging sort of dance, in unision. It was quite a sight! I came across this version being reacted to by Elizabeth of the Charistmatic Voice so had to go find it for myself. It's so much fun. Great reaction. :) It's a long way from Disney's seven dwarves isn't it?

[@amerlin388]

This song has had multiple uses in my local D&D game.

[@nounet5175]

this song is based on a 10 years old music video (with an amazing animation) wich is itself based on a joke made by a Minecraft youtuber during a let's play so that's really funny

[@CerberusxRL]

6:25 the better question is not, if they have been digging holes, it is: how many holes have they been digging?

[@heavendragonclan-hdc7018]

I know this song first from a minecraft animated video with the same name. After that i found this song on spotify

[@zemoshade3049]

[@JustAFanGamer]

Origin of this song is minecraft meme song turned awesome.

[@ConnorSinclairCavin]

A good chaser to this song (other than the original 2 versions) would be “Man With A Plan” by Korplikaani. However, what i REALLY recommend is pairing it with “it just works” by The Chalk Eaters, for some reason these three songs combo together Hard

[@Didymus20X6]

Got to love that Cristiano has a Dane Axe while the rest have digging tools. Got to keep an eye out for those Greenskins.

[@Sizzlik]

Guys favorite activity on the beach.. "Diggy diggy hole" ..and thats the only 3 words that go through our mind during that activity.

Diana is in the TOP 3 world vocalists in terms of the number of reactions (about 17 thousand reactions).
