You said, "Come on brothers, sing with me." I arrived. I sang. I dug. Pretty easy request. This is definitely the best dwarven anthem. Dwarves dig for metal, and I'll say, I think they found it.
Back then, when we were all little shits and saw with our own eyes when the first song about digging a hole in Minecraft came out, how could we know that we would've been chosen on a later day? Chosen to hear this Masterpiece of Heavymetal?
There's a scene in one of _The Hobbit_ movies where the dwarves are in Rivendell and start singing and playing their own music because they hate elven music. Someone needs to recut that scene with this song.
That was clever AF lol good one bro cuz in my head I heard it as a GTA radio station ad those things were either madly unhinged or funny AF outta left field lol wudnt see it coming and I cud hear lazlo or some shit saying that 😂
I'm 6', but as an electrician who used to dig a lot of trenches by hand due to safety precautions, I love this song, and introduced it to my coworkers. We used to sing it while we were digging to lay pipe. We also had a parody version of Alice Merton "No Roots" we made up when we were on a wooded site that became a pain in the arse real fast. Hard to trench when you have to stop every 20 minutes to Sawzall through some tree roots.
Yes! I believe that the original meaning of a meme was basically an inside joke on the internet. Now it's just overused pictures with text. Not sure though so don't take my word on it
@@pellefrolander9158 A meme is sort of the cultural equivalent of a gene. It has a life of its own, it mutates, competes and crosses with others, disappears if it's not successful. Diggy diggy hole is a meme, but so are more fuzzy concepts such as elements of a religion.
I love how the lead singer actually LOOKS like a dwarf, they all have the hair and beards, but that guy actually has the kind of wide chest and shoulders that you'd expect from a small mountain of muscle and grit.

This metal song exists because some British nerd randomly broke out into song during a Minecraft let's play like, ten years ago. THINK about that for a minute.
Make it sound majestic?! It already was! This just amplified it! The best thing is thought, it’ll live on even without the Yogs and won’t become an obscure Minecraft fact.
A friend of mine refused to pay a contractor to dig the foundation for his shop, so we all got together and dug it ourselves.....with this song on repeat the entire project. I will always love this song because of that.
That sounds like a fun idea until 15 years later when someone else digs up the foundation and curses you and your spawn to the 7th generation. The thing about contractors is that they live knowing they live on borrowed time, one day someone will see the chuckle fuck they did to jury rig something and will come for them. Now you have all accepted the same fate, bound by the thread of shovel and other tools.
I got to watch them live when they did the Northern Warfront Tour in Edmonton. It was my first show ever and hearing Diggy Diggy Hole live, with the entire crowd singing along, was a life changing experience for me. This song is so good live.
Literally... I remember watching shadow of israphel part 8 I think it was when they were looking for old peculiars dads watchtower chest. Just a few thousand views on it when I first heard diggy diggy hole
That's how I found this version! I couldn't believe my ears, a tiny little joke in a phenomenal Minecraft series made it to the death metal station on the radio!
i saw the episode it was born in i saw it made into a song i saw it remixed i saw it remixed again i saw it parodied i saw it come back to popularity and after all these years *this fucking song is still fire*
My mother requested this song at her funeral, so she got what she wanted. Probably raised some eyebrows but I wasn't going to say no. She used to hear it when I listened to a TH-cam playlist while painting my models kits. She loved the drummer in particular. Thank you, after four years of digging I have to say goodbye to her but at least I've still got this song. :)
I was teaching on an army officer's course a couple years back. They were in their defensive portion so they were digging their defensive trenches. So being the compassionate instructor that I am, decided to lift their spirits by walking behind their trenches with this song playing on my phone as they dug. It was perfection.
Robert McGuire More than just WW2, my friend. They’re cover all kinds of historic wars and battles. I recommend Sparta, The Last Stand, The Art of War, and Carolus Rex, just to name a few.

Any heavy metal band that can seriously perform Diggy Diggy Hole is clearly having the time of their life and are taking themselves exactly as seriously as they need to be. I love it, and I'm sad I didn't find this sooner.
You can tell, they definitely had a blast with this one. lol I saw the title here and couldn't believe it until I heard it, it's been years and I just remember the little animation for this. lmao
Oh, you should check out Storm Seeker then. They have a girl named Fabi who plays heavy metal flutes of about a dozen different varieties (including Paetzold bass flute) AND Hurdy Gurdy.

"It's like fantasy power metal but more industrial"

fool that is dwarf fortress not minecraft
This metal song exists because some British nerd randomly broke out into song during a Minecraft let's play like, ten years ago.
THINK about that for a minute.
thats the best part about it from a like 20 second short to a song and now a high value metal production
is there a link to it?

Dwarf: To dig and dig makes us free!

The way the manage to make the lyrics “diggy diggy hole” sound majestic is a true work of art.
Make it sound majestic?! It already was! This just amplified it!
The best thing is thought, it’ll live on even without the Yogs and won’t become an obscure Minecraft fact.
im sorry it was already majestic
Very majestic
That was the most poetic part of the whole song
My friends keep sending me this song because they always tease me for my height and part of the lyrics is "He is a dwarf and he's digging a hole"
Let this be a lesson and that is; “What started off as a joke can make a huge impact”
Coluche président approved
Sometimes even hearing something will make some look to others and say Ha Ha (Pause) Can we do that.
Honestly that’s already been done before with teddy Roosevelt
Like the czech national anthem.

A friend of mine refused to pay a contractor to dig the foundation for his shop, so we all got together and dug it ourselves.....with this song on repeat the entire project. I will always love this song because of that.
That sounds like it was a blast
It's sounds like the perfect mix of stupid and awesome....which is what great stories are made of.
That sounds like a fun idea until 15 years later when someone else digs up the foundation and curses you and your spawn to the 7th generation. The thing about contractors is that they live knowing they live on borrowed time, one day someone will see the chuckle fuck they did to jury rig something and will come for them. Now you have all accepted the same fate, bound by the thread of shovel and other tools.
@@LuizAlexPhoenix But they still got to dig to this song! Will that hypothetical person in the future be so lucky? So it was all worth it!
Hopefully you and your mates didn't wake up an elderitch being
I got to watch them live when they did the Northern Warfront Tour in Edmonton. It was my first show ever and hearing Diggy Diggy Hole live, with the entire crowd singing along, was a life changing experience for me. This song is so good live.

Was on pandora when I saw this and i started listening as soon as i heard the drums however i knew what it was... i was so happy.
Hearing a metal singer sing the words diggy diggy hole made me laugh uncontrollably for a bit.
Try listening to Gloryhammer, they have such songs as "the unicorn invasion of Dundee" and "the Hollywood Hootsman"

I was there, in the ancient days when Minecraft was young, and TH-cam had not yet fallen into darkness.
My mother requested this song at her funeral, so she got what she wanted. Probably raised some eyebrows but I wasn't going to say no. She used to hear it when I listened to a TH-cam playlist while painting my models kits. She loved the drummer in particular. Thank you, after four years of digging I have to say goodbye to her but at least I've still got this song. :)
If this is true, then this is a very cool and very sad story.

I was teaching on an army officer's course a couple years back. They were in their defensive portion so they were digging their defensive trenches. So being the compassionate instructor that I am, decided to lift their spirits by walking behind their trenches with this song playing on my phone as they dug. It was perfection.
That sounds amazing
Did they start singing?
Did they dig in unison? I hope like hell there were some metalheads in that group
@@alostshoe893 or minecraftheads. :D
