When My Gearscore Gets There
Posted under: I have an eclectic taste in music, but I blame my mother for this one.
One of the songs that comes on the Hit Music Channel a LOT is “Billionaire” by Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars. (Here is a link to the original song on Youtube, but it is NSFW because of language)
I didn’t pay much attention to the song till my mom started to sing the beginning of it during lulls in our conversation (yes, my mom is that cool).
After she left, I found that she’d firmly entrenched the earworm in ME.
One day, belting out the melody along with Bruno Mars (who has an AMAZING voice), the little girl in the back of my brain started to giggle and shove World of Warcraft terms in place of the actual lyrics.
That, my friends and compatriots, is where we find ourselves today. Mother and husband have requested that I record the version of “Billionaire” that I actually sing when it comes on the radio now.
I wish I was tech-savvy enough to get the background music for you, but I think you’ll get the point even without the music. =]
(For those who’ve heard the song: 1) I sing a radio-safe version and 2) I stop recording before the rapping starts.)
When My Gearscore Gets There
(altered lyrics)
I wanna be in a raiding guild so freakin bad
Loot all of the gear I never had
I wanna be on the cover of WoW magazine
Smiling next to Arthas and the Queen
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my gear in purple lights
A different raidzone every night oh I
I swear Bliz-zard better prepare
For when my gear score gets there
You and your earworms!

Oh my goodness you are too freaking cute <3
And you have a lovely voice :)
I'm voting you snatch the music and make a music video machinima of this <3<3<3
*squee* does this mean you’re back in WoW now?
@Mr. Moore
Bwhahaha.
@Courtney
*blushhugs* Thank you! And I can TOTALLY see a machinima with this, but I have neither the time nor the skillz to do it properly. If someone does, I do hope they re-record!
@Jilliene
*laughs* Nope, not yet. Once a gamer, always a gamer, though. I still keep up on WoW news via Mr. Moore and a few blogs, and I think I’ll always think like a WoW player. =]
You totally have to recreate the song now and post it on Youtube….
@Byrd
Egads, heavens no!
Awww…. But, but, but it’d be great publicity! and Awesome! Let’s not forget tehs awesomez. ;-)
Hot diggity, you are fantastic. We should have sung in our room more.
I must add “What up, Arthas?!” I love this song and that line cracks me up every time.
@KristenSue
*laughs* I love it!
I keep slightly modifying it. “The Queen” is intended to be Sylvanas, but “Hellscream” would work, too, and be a little less ambiguous. XD
