Tolkien fans, Warhammer fans, Deep Rock Galactic fans, Dwarf Fortress fans, Overwatch fans, and D&D fans are all united by one fact. That fact being a dwarf is the greatest and most loyal companion to ever have.
It's cool to see that THIS song, Diggy Diggy Hole, has become the rallying cry for everyone in the Dwarf community. Be it Warhammer, WoW, LOTR, Deep Rock, or any other IP, we all come together under the banner of the sturdy mountain men.
@@Bob-bs9ok The great urge of humanity to make holes in things that didn't have them just to see what's in there, specifically because it looks like the universe didn't intend for us to go there.
"two young boys started to dig the deepest hole they could at the beach. But as the hole grew too deep for two boys to handle they kept at it as more boys came to join in the digging."
I am convinced that a not insignificant portion of the population would choose to become dwarves if they were given the chance, living under the mountains, forging master craft armor, digging through rock and stone unearthing gems and gold, and drinking ale with their bearded brothers and sisters, sounds like a life well spent if you ask me.
"Why do we mine? What compels us to seek out the deepest and darkest of holes and make them even deeper? I'll tell you; it's in our nature, our nature as men, as short kings. We crave violence, we crave alcohol, we crave that mineral." - SsethTzeentach
See, Dwarves are a lot like "babies. There small, always drinking and, no matter how much you Baby-proof everything, they will ALWAYS find a way to kill themselves." - SsethTzeentach.
One thing I've noticed is that fans of Dwarves are VERY unified and you hardly ever see any infighting. Also, this song is fucking amazing. Tingles and hype throughout the whole thing
@Rimeau dude im only 21 and this infomation is making me feel old, Simon and lewis were one of the main youtubers i watched back in the day and made me want minecraft so badly
I have this headcanon that in some fantasy universe out there, an Elf once told a Dwarf to piss off, saying something like “Go dig a hole, Shorty.” The Dwarf, offended, pretended to use a shovel as he replied in a sarcastic voice “Oh, sure…I’m a Dwarf and I’m deeging a hole. Deegy-deegy hole, I’m deeging a hole. Phooey!” The Dwarf went home, and he relayed the story to his kin. Eventually a mob of Dwarves chased the troublemaking knife-ear out of town, all while jokingly chanting about how they are Dwarves, and they’re digging a hole. From then onwards, the joke based on a Dwarven stereotype develops into a full-blown song; each generation in the clan adding their own proud lyrics to it and belting it out in times of triumph and hardship alike. Centuries pass, and it becomes a sort of anthem for all Dwarfkind across the land, equally at home as a lullaby to newborn beardlings, as a war cry for hammerers on the battlefield, or as a hummed tune among the few living ancestors who dwell in the Great Halls. Thank you, Simon.
Hello, MrViking, this idea inspired something great in me. So in my DnD campaign, the leader of the Voldrun (The name of the Dwarven Society in my setting) was told by an Elven Overseer in a mining colony to "stop causing trouble, go be a good little Dwarf and Diggy Dig your hole", this was the spark of the revolution that would eventually free the Dwarves from Elven oppression, and as a commemorative tribute, turned this song into their anthem. Anyways, thanks for the idea..
This doesn’t just slap, it slams! Like pickaxe into ore! Like a tankard of mead into a great hall table! Like a warhammer crushing the skull of any goblin, bug, or xeno who dares face a dwarf! DIG, BROTHERS! DIG!
This song is legendary because it carries that same "Uncle Sam" or "Yankee Doodle" energy. You just know "Diggy Hole" was a taunt made by the knife-ears to make the dwarves sound like childish little mole men, and the Dwarves took it and ran with it.
What you mean it was made in old norse times to taunt Svartalfars (black elves) who were also known as dvergr (dwarf). It was made by light elves. Actually Sons of Ivaldi aka guys who made Thors hammer were said to be svartalfars and world of dvergr was Svartálfaheimr aka world of black elves
From the earliest days of TH-cam, it started as two friends on a grand quest, trying to come up with a song to sing whilst digging. I was just a kid back then, only 10 years old. Now, 12 years later I am about to leave home and start the next chapter in my life, and I get to appreciate the fact that we have some of TH-cam's biggest bands and artists joining Ye Olde Goon Squad in singing one of the most powerful songs about digging one could ever imagine. Thank you

You can remove elves from the forests, make orcs noble warriors, or whatever else yoh want to make your fantasy world unique, but dwarves are always bound to their mountain homes. Beautiful
Mine is on the sea, deepest trench on the sea digging a hole, they dig a bit too hard it reach the domain of forgoten gods btw they dug the way out of it

I remember watching the original Yogscast episode of their old Shadow of Israphel Minecraft series. Where Simon just started singing randomly as he was digging, just to get in character and goof off. To think it started off as a random off-the-cuff moment, and it has now become a beloved part of internet culture.
This This is the EXACT song I've wanted Every bit is clear, and pronounced in some way - primarily due to each version focusing on some areas more than others Instead of sounding busy, the song sounds perfectly full
Clamavi de Profundis = Longbeards Wind Rose = Blacklocks Yogscast = Broadbeams RichaadEB & Jonathan Young = Ironfists Colm R. McGuiness = Firebeards We just need two more covers and all 7 realms of dwarves are united. Ps.: Where is the "I am the elf and I filling in the hole"? >:(
I listened to this while stuck on a 3 hour car trip while my bowels were trying to expel the tamale I ate the day before, con confirm this song gives you strength
This is a hearty song. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is studded with adamantine, and encircled with bands of steel. This object menaces with spikes of glory. On the item is an image of a dwarf. The dwarf is covered in mud. The dwarf is covered in blood.
So... uh... I lost, like, a 2 feet of height and have a beard long enough to touch the floor now. Edit: The song just ended and I just found a massive axe in my room...
4:29... That's the pinnacle of everything that was and ever will be. This isn't even a song anymore it's an experience because this is genuinely amazing.
And thus, everyone above heard the shaking of stone and rock as the entire underground started singing in unison, showing them that they may be small, but they together pack a punch and a pick that can move tectonic plates! This was absolutely great, ALE AND MEAD FOR EVERYONE!
I’ve listened to all of these covers independently of each other and they were amazing then; I can’t believe this video’s been up an entire week without anyone telling me! Incredible energy of dwarves digging a hole, thank you for your work! To my dwarven kin: Armok has blessed us this day.
I'm disappointed by the lack of the elf filling in the hole at the end but even so, I love this. Any day is a good day when a new version of Diggy Diggy Hole comes out.
This was so good. It just blows me away that the Yogs were able to take a really funny early 2010s minecraft RP meme and make it something grand. And then to have everyone start to make badass covers of it beyond that is just- it's great! And then this on top of all of that!? Man, today was a good day to find this video.
0:40 this spot gives me pure chills every time I hear it. The buildup is perfect, the masculine choir, French horn rips, and super loud drums are just amazing
This mashup is truly the ultimate version of this song at the moment it sounds like the entirety of dwarf-kind coming together to harmonize to this one song
As you venture deeper into the cavern you begin to hear something. Chanting? No singing, you reach the end of the tunnel and you see a massive city filled with dwarves. The men of the mountains have united at last and they celebrate with an anthem of fellowship.
To think this started as a spur of the moment little diddy from Simon all those years ago. For it to evolve into this... Let it be said: Ye Olde Goon Squad inspired literal generation gaps to sing of dwarves digging for treasures better than Tolkien. YEAH, I SPOKE SACRELIGE WHAT OF IT!?
Well, if it weren't for the Tolkien films in the first place then this original song wouldn't have even come to pass. Yes, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs technically counts as "digging for treasure" but the Tolkien films took what was little known in pop culture and brought it out for everyone.
Nah bro you’re right, anyone who claims Tolkien had anything to do with this masterpiece uniting the dwarves is a filthy leaf-loving, knife-eared *no-beard*
the fact there is a "dwarf community" that spans across all game genres, time periods, settings, backgrounds and in real life with anyone of any height anything preserves my hope in humanity who knew short men with big beards and pickaxes could be the best way to work towards world peace
Mankind resonates with this; mankind's entire exsistance revolves around holes. Spends 9 months trying to get out of one and the rest of his life working into one
I love how a silly joke made off hand during a minecraft playthrough has evolved to be this rallying cry to ALL people who play games where you can be a dwarf. ROCK AND STONE!
Man... I remember when Episode 8 of Shadow of Israphel went live and hearing Simon sing diggy diggy hole was just the funnest shit. NEVER in a million years did I thought it'll become the anthem of Dwaves across the internet. It's a beautiful thing to behold.
I just love that the image of a dwarf is that consistant throughout all of fantasy media. most of the other fantasy races get morphed and merged with creative ideas and concepts. But the "dwarf"-concept is as solid as the rock it digs into.
This is my favourite mix of all the versions of the song. Because it genuinely sounds like a chorus of dwarves all singing in unison. From the deepest deposits all the way up the mine shaft to the mine entrance where the raucous singing of thousands of hard working dwarven miners can flood their undermountain kingdom.
From 8 eight years old to 20 years, this song has been one of the best I've heard and brings back so much nostalgia for while I played minecraft and even figured out the beat on a ukelele. Thank the Yogscast for the original, but everyone else cemented it in history!
if i could hit the like button more than once on one video, it would be this masterpiece. i would singlehandedly sit here and click until that button hit 10M
Diggy Diggy Hole has got to be one of my favorite bits of internet history. It started as a 10 second throw away gag when the Yogscast were playing Minecraft. Then a fan took that clip and remixed it into a song. The yogscast then made an original song from the ground up. Then Windrose did a power metal cover. Then a few other artists have done covers in their own style. Now the Longest Johns is doing a Diggy Diggy Hole community project. The internet is amazing.
I love how this mashup ends in a great show of Dwarven solidarity. No matter who we are, we raise our voices together and sing with a might that shakes the mountains. ROCK AND STONE, LADS! ○T
It doesn’t matter if you shout ”Rock and Stone” ”Baruk Khazâd” or ”Khazukan Kazakit-ha”. We all unite under this timeless masterpeice of a song

Yeah this version was put together really well to the point each version of the song enhances it rather than getting in its own way.
Absolutely blown away at the end there
oh hey cool to see you here. Your animations are cool
the last minute is a goddamn religigous experience
Clamavi de Profundis = Longbeards
Wind Rose = Blacklocks
Yogscast = Broadbeams
RichaadEB & Jonathan Young = Ironfists
Colm R. McGuiness = Firebeards
We just need two more covers and all 7 realms of dwarves are united.
Ps.: Where is the "I am the elf and I filling in the hole"? >:(
Probably shooting an arrow at something to fill the new hole a dwarf made😆
Where are these clans from?
My gods, you dwarfs spend so much time complaining about elves, I'm starting to think you hate us more than the goblins!
@@tea-sus8722 Tolkien’s Middle Earth
There's also the cover by FamilyJules, the only one to dig an actual hole in the music video:

I listened to this while stuck on a 3 hour car trip while my bowels were trying to expel the tamale I ate the day before, con confirm this song gives you strength
😂
That is a VIVID image that I did not need or want
This is a hearty song. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is studded with adamantine, and encircled with bands of steel. This object menaces with spikes of glory. On the item is an image of a dwarf. The dwarf is covered in mud. The dwarf is covered in blood.
Underrated comment!
Now throw it in the pile and get back to work!
So... uh... I lost, like, a 2 feet of height and have a beard long enough to touch the floor now.
Edit: The song just ended and I just found a massive axe in my room...
IT IS A SIGN. GO FORTH, BRÖTHER, AND DIG THAT HOLE!
@@lunchsimulator3995 VERY WELL, BROTHER! I'LL BE GOIN' THEN! TO THE MINES!
i found pickaxe instead of axe
@@wiwentor Yeah, I got the pickaxe after the axe... it'll probably show up soon...
@@dolos4301 you should also find you can drink like a fish
When everyone starting singing. I felt like I was blasted away. This is such a good combo .
This felt like the dwarven clans meeting to vote for the new high king and in the end everyone is feasting after the coronation.
4:30 The buildup to all the song’s combined hits so hard! Thank you TH-cam recommendations. Never would have found this otherwise.
4:29... That's the pinnacle of everything that was and ever will be. This isn't even a song anymore it's an experience because this is genuinely amazing.
That final chorus gave me an eargasm
all of it gave me an eargasm
Or Beardgasm
that epic drum roll is spine chilling
This is the definition of eargasm
From a joke song to a fan made song to an official song to a metal song to all this, name me another song that has such a storied journey.
And thus, everyone above heard the shaking of stone and rock as the entire underground started singing in unison, showing them that they may be small, but they together pack a punch and a pick that can move tectonic plates! This was absolutely great, ALE AND MEAD FOR EVERYONE!
I’ve listened to all of these covers independently of each other and they were amazing then; I can’t believe this video’s been up an entire week without anyone telling me!
Incredible energy of dwarves digging a hole, thank you for your work!
To my dwarven kin: Armok has blessed us this day.
Hail Armok!
ROCK AND STONE
Bro what's that bottom left one, I can't find it
@@jason-blond8495 The RichardEB version I believe.
For Karaz Ankor!
ROCK AND STONE! WE CAN NEVER DIG TOO DEEP!
The only way you can dig too deep is if you come out the other side... and then you must move 5 feet to the left and start again
@@omegamon0239 Or if you awaken something as powerful as Durin's Bane
Counterpoint: dig away

FOR KARL
I'm disappointed by the lack of the elf filling in the hole at the end but even so, I love this. Any day is a good day when a new version of Diggy Diggy Hole comes out.
I was going to add that part, but I felt like it just didn't fit. (Besides, the elf is still trying to fill in the previous hole)
Keep that pointy eared leaf lover out of our hole lad. We can never dig too deep
The hole is way to vast for any one elf to fill up
@@orein1880
That's okay. It might take 600 years, but everyone needs a hobby.
@@5h0rgunn45 Indeed, luckily elves have the required lifespan for such a job!
This was so good. It just blows me away that the Yogs were able to take a really funny early 2010s minecraft RP meme and make it something grand. And then to have everyone start to make badass covers of it beyond that is just- it's great! And then this on top of all of that!? Man, today was a good day to find this video.
0:40 this spot gives me pure chills every time I hear it. The buildup is perfect, the masculine choir, French horn rips, and super loud drums are just amazing
This sounds like a battle for nations of creatures, big and small, all mighty and knowledgeable. Join and fought as a union
Literally the only thing wrong is that one time the lyrics don't overlap
Everything else... chefs kiss.
Blame Clamavi de Profundis. They edited the lyrics to be slightly more family-friendly, which is fine, but it makes mashups tricky.
I think it is intented. See dwarfs from diffirent setups sing this song, each would sing it a slightly diffirent
I was crying with more pure joy the longer this song went on
Same bro, rock and stone!
Same.
This mashup is truly the ultimate version of this song at the moment it sounds like the entirety of dwarf-kind coming together to harmonize to this one song
As you venture deeper into the cavern you begin to hear something. Chanting? No singing, you reach the end of the tunnel and you see a massive city filled with dwarves. The men of the mountains have united at last and they celebrate with an anthem of fellowship.
This is amazing... only thing that'd make it ascended tier is if they all said the "BROTHERS OF THE MINE REJOICE" together.
10/10 handeleds orcestral as everyone had a momment to shine now if sabaton would make a cover off this one that would be something
I typically don't like the homage songs of Sabaton, but this is one that I can get behind!
This song feels like its from an ancient era of a lost civilisation on mulitple levels
To think this started as a spur of the moment little diddy from Simon all those years ago. For it to evolve into this...
Let it be said: Ye Olde Goon Squad inspired literal generation gaps to sing of dwarves digging for treasures better than Tolkien.
YEAH, I SPOKE SACRELIGE WHAT OF IT!?
Well, if it weren't for the Tolkien films in the first place then this original song wouldn't have even come to pass. Yes, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs technically counts as "digging for treasure" but the Tolkien films took what was little known in pop culture and brought it out for everyone.
Don't direspect the last dwarf of Moria who's still breathing
Nah bro you’re right, anyone who claims Tolkien had anything to do with this masterpiece uniting the dwarves is a filthy leaf-loving, knife-eared *no-beard*
@@therealchaosguyChaos scum. Silence.
Man I remember seeing the Yogscast version all the time when I was younger. This song just gives me a wave of nostalgia no matter what version it is
the fact there is a "dwarf community" that spans across all game genres, time periods, settings, backgrounds and in real life with anyone of any height anything preserves my hope in humanity
who knew short men with big beards and pickaxes could be the best way to work towards world peace
I want to say thank you for putting this together amd thank you TH-cam algorithm for recommending me this brilliant combo. ROCK AMD STONE!
Let's Rock and Stone!
ROCK AND STONE BROTHERS!!!
The primal male urge to haul a pickaxe and bash at whatever stone you can find is universal
Fr though, I found a pickaxe wandering some train tracks and just started smashing rocks with it. No thoughts, just smash
@@seandunbar7364 Your dwarven instincts were awoken that day...
Follow them to the mountainhome brother...
Man I miss the golden age of the Yogscast
Mankind resonates with this; mankind's entire exsistance revolves around holes. Spends 9 months trying to get out of one and the rest of his life working into one
I want a version that's just all 6 the entire time
Also timestamp to the all 6 songs part 4:29
now this
is truly a song
from the deepest parts of hearts
of all drawf kind
4:20 This is what Dwarfs hear on their way to Valhalla
I love how a silly joke made off hand during a minecraft playthrough has evolved to be this rallying cry to ALL people who play games where you can be a dwarf. ROCK AND STONE!
Sometimes I can't decide which version I want to listen to. Now I don't have to worry about that anymore.
Man... I remember when Episode 8 of Shadow of Israphel went live and hearing Simon sing diggy diggy hole was just the funnest shit. NEVER in a million years did I thought it'll become the anthem of Dwaves across the internet. It's a beautiful thing to behold.
I just love that the image of a dwarf is that consistant throughout all of fantasy media. most of the other fantasy races get morphed and merged with creative ideas and concepts. But the "dwarf"-concept is as solid as the rock it digs into.
They are known as the "sturdy folk" for a reason, after all!
This is my favourite mix of all the versions of the song. Because it genuinely sounds like a chorus of dwarves all singing in unison. From the deepest deposits all the way up the mine shaft to the mine entrance where the raucous singing of thousands of hard working dwarven miners can flood their undermountain kingdom.
I see songs of this combine is awesome. But now. Seeing this. I think i found the entire Dwarf Kingdom
I love hearing songs like this combined. It gives the energy of a group of mates bellowing out the lyrics. Truly amazing energy
From 8 eight years old to 20 years, this song has been one of the best I've heard and brings back so much nostalgia for while I played minecraft and even figured out the beat on a ukelele. Thank the Yogscast for the original, but everyone else cemented it in history!
Rock and Stone, it never gets old!
if i could hit the like button more than once on one video, it would be this masterpiece. i would singlehandedly sit here and click until that button hit 10M
The energy pumping out of this compilation is unbelievable....
best version because this song was meant to be sung TOGETHER.
ROCK AND STONE BROTHA
I sooooo HAPPY to discover that version today !!! it goes into my untouched playlist since 2 years
I can feel my beard grow by the verse.
We need a 10 hour version of this
its probably out there... just not the wind-rose one, probably the older yogscast versions of the same song...
You should be able to right-click and use "loop" and make it just continue for 10hrs.
@@alvatoredimarco sure but that would include the outros of videos, the "10 hour version" vids edit that part out usually...
I'm not crying.
It's just someone digged a hole into my eye.
It's cool that even through all the voices, you can still pick out Simon's
*BARUK KHAZAD, WE FIGHT FOR KARAZ ANKOR, ANCESTORS, ROCKS AND STONE*
*AND WE LEAVE NO DWARF BEHIND*
There was a dwarf and he dig a hole...
*paper burns as quill writes on..
After all these years we've found it.
Peak Dwarf.
This deserves a drink!
Ginger beer and a smoke for me , Prost
Diggy Diggy Hole has got to be one of my favorite bits of internet history.
It started as a 10 second throw away gag when the Yogscast were playing Minecraft.
Then a fan took that clip and remixed it into a song.
The yogscast then made an original song from the ground up.
Then Windrose did a power metal cover.
Then a few other artists have done covers in their own style.
Now the Longest Johns is doing a Diggy Diggy Hole community project.
The internet is amazing.
Congrates to yogacast for making the national anthem of All Dwarves that somehow started as A Joke
this slaps impossibly hard, found myself singing along from start to finish, bravo
i manage to create a Diggy Diggy Hole playlist composed of 11 differents versions
And YOU, you have mixed 6 of it PERFECTLY.
Guess i have 12 songs now
Picture all 11 mixed together like this now
I love how this mashup ends in a great show of Dwarven solidarity. No matter who we are, we raise our voices together and sing with a might that shakes the mountains.
ROCK AND STONE, LADS!
○T
Just when I thought one of my favorite songs couldn't get any better...... Thank you for this rendition, sir. I raise my mug to you!
the most epic of a melody, from the depths of earth to the edge of hoxes 4, all dwarfs have one goal, Dig.
May your mugs never dry brothers!
ROCK AND STONE!!!!
ROCK AND STONE! TO THE EMPIRES OF OLD!
To the Fallen! Rock and Stone!
How does a mug dry a brother?
Vocative comma. Learn to use it.
Eaten any grandmas lately?
You sound like a pointy eared leaf-lover to me!
