My co-worker and I are fans of the Yogs, the day the cover released I sent the link to him and his only response was a flat "what." I'm also pretty sure he watched it a few times back to back and cackled like I did.
The original creation was Yogscast. This video around the ten minute mark, it is their original creation right there. th-cam.com/video/IK7hbdLgLOg/w-d-xo.html
I guess you probably searched for the original artist, but for those who don’t know the original. It was made by Yogscast, group of british youtubers/gamers who got famous mainly for their Minecraft let’s plays. Simon (one of the main members) made up the chorus during one of their videos just to make digging fun. Fans liked it so much that they karet turned it into a proper song. Here is the original: th-cam.com/video/ytWz0qVvBZ0/w-d-xo.html

Omg i can't belive this, i'm a friend of the singer of windrose, i followed them since their first concerts and now they are getting reaction videos! This is so good for them!
Diggy Diggy Hole Made by The Yogscast (in their WoW days, YOGS was theur acronym for their clan, Ye Olde Goon Squad) the song was a 5 or 10 second tidbit in their initial minecraft series, Shadow of Israphel, sung bu Simon Lane (Common username, Honeydew) as he stated:"It has to be sort of silly, but light hearted" and jjst went with it. i itially, they made a remix of it to a dubstep tune with a custom minecraft animation video. Later, they made their own full version, which one of their local chiors sang not too long after, now THIS band took the leap to sing it next. Its honestly hilarious how a tiny segmsnt of a long-dead series resonates like this, from a one person spur of the moment thing to a phenomenon thats synonymous to the game minecraft. You should seriously check them out. Theyre good comedy
Loved the reaction at 6:43 to the drum break. That's Federico Gatti who just wowed you. He's also well known as the "beat master" for the band, "Ancient Bards." Very very very talented!
The part that I enjoyed about this video was it introduces the ancient art of blacksmithing to the public. Most people dont even know what smithing is or see it in museums and fantasy books. As a fellow smith, I can assure you it is far from being the "dying art" it is portrayed to be. On a side note, for all of you uneducated folk, they are forging a shovel throughout this video, which makes sense since the song is "diggy diggy hole"
There's actually one band that labeled themselves as Dwarf Metal (not Wind Rose). Check out "Baruk Khazâd". I would like to recommend their song "Narag Zaram".
Looking forward to seeing You two in August👊. They have really big operation 2.nd Terminal renovation. in Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. Diffycult to find parking space. Public transport still working fine...
From a joke bit in Minecraft, to a techno remix, to a full song with animated music video, to this cover. And this gives me chills. In all honesty, I'd give anything I could to see the dwarves of Middle-Earth rocking out to this song!
Wind Rose brought that song to another level - I totally loved this cover, when I heard it the first time! It's like this song finally found the right band. It's a perfect match.
Got your video randomly and the look of joy on your face when you recognized this song made me feel joy. I love this song and always try to share it with others. Metal but light and cheery.
Not sure about this song, but a lot of there songs are inspired by Tolkien, author of the Lord of the Rings. Just discovered them last week. It's FUCKING DWARF METAL!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I really looking forward to the New album from this band, been a fan since the debut. They only get better, this cover is pure joy! Vikingdwarf-cheers from Norway!
The video which I linked is the very creation itself. Simon, aka Honeydew, pulled it out of his butt there. A fan took it and made another, before the Yogscast made another version later which then this band took that latest version and just put their own spin on it. Original at 10 minute mark: th-cam.com/video/IK7hbdLgLOg/w-d-xo.html Fan: th-cam.com/video/fR7EAdPUqvQ/w-d-xo.html Yogscast: th-cam.com/video/ytWz0qVvBZ0/w-d-xo.html Then came Wind Rose.
The song started as a skit in Minecraft cause they wanted to sing something while digging holes which the lyrics were "I am a dwarf digging a hole, diggy diggy hole." From that a fan made a more songy version, then the version wind rose did a cover of came out from Yogscast themselves which became less involved with Minecraft and had a bit more of a story about dwarves that live underground
2 min 15 sec complaining about the title 10 sec of music and the head bobbing starts +6 sec SMILE The mighty power of the Sons of Durin. *Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu!*
this is a cover of a meme, believe it or not. TH-camr in Sparkles, and his friends actually sung the lyrics on Minecraft in 2011. It became a meme. Even the most epic cover of all-time, as you reacted to.
Minecraft Singing Dwarf meme, to meme song, to the meme originators making a full song, to a metal band cover. This is the on going story Diggy Diggy Hole.
The real origin of this is from the original Yogscast duo Simon and Lewis. They had a minecraft youtube series called "Shadow of Israphael". Simon was basically roleplaying as a dwarf and in one episode he just randomly came up with this little bit "I'm a dwarf and I'm digging a hole, diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole" and he just repeated that. After that people made remixes that was also featured on their podcast, The YogPod, and it basically snowballed from there. They later made an original song out of it which this is a cover of.
Yep. It's hard to listen to this song without smiling! I'm kinda thinking that when Wind Rose sings this song, they're thinking about the Dwarves in Tolkien. A lot of their material has themes from the LOTR Middle Earth universe.
I just have to say, just opened the video. And already love the Carach Angren shirt! Band from my hometown in the south of the Netherlands! Love to see the love they get abroad!
Windrose is one of the warm-up bands for Alestorm on their current european tour. Along with Rum Ahoy and Gloryhammer. 🤘😀🤘 I never knew this song until I heard it live.... And YES - the whole venue was chanting and having an awesome time 👍🤘😀🤘👍
This guys are Italian and they basically invented a genre: Dwarf Metal! I heavily suggest to react to another great song of them, "To Erebor", you won't be disappointed! You'll understand why we talk about "Dwarf Metal".
You will probably have the chorus of this song in your head for weeks. It certainly beats 'Hi ho, it's off to work we go'! There are a number of vids on TH-cam about the evolution of this song.
I love how they both went from "Well this is certainly not rap..." to "Okay, nice beat, interesting" to "hell yea I can headbang to this" to "A chuckle during the first chorus" to "singing along with the second chorus". xD
I was suprised that you never heard of this band. This is really up your alley with the happy folk metal / Gloryhammer / Sabaton and such bands you guys listen to.

Yeah! :D Check out more WIND ROSE, their album is really good! TO EREBOR and THE WOLF's CALL are more midtempo and symphonic, THE RETURNING RACE and some other songs from the album are quiet fast forward and powerful.
Fallen Timbers! Listen and enjoy. I'm going to see these guys in London with GloryHammer and Beast in Black. We all need more Beast in Black in our lives

@@iguessmynamesriya7658 Truth
Diggy diggy hole has no right to as good as it is to begin with, an improv minecraft joke.

And a dance remix
and now windrose made a dance version aswel. love liricks that can be put on nearly anny genre and work
And some say you don't get deep lyrics in power metal... What's deeper than a hole?
Bigger hole
The mines of Moria
xD

@@TotallyNotLoki YOU shall pass ..
I love how the reaction was similar to mine. "Diggy Diggy Hole? That sounds silly." *music starts* "I AM A DWARF AND I'M DIGGING A HOLE!"

Priceless ! \m/

you can't make digging a hole sound badass.
windrose: hold my beer
*Mead* ;)
More like: hold my shovel
@@Mariopow99 and pickaxe
yogscast already did it
well if some minecraft youtubers can make digging a hole why cant wind rose
Omg i can't belive this, i'm a friend of the singer of windrose, i followed them since their first concerts and now they are getting reaction videos! This is so good for them!
By the way their music is almost full based on the lord of the rings dwarfs, listen "to erebor" i love it!
Tell your fucking friend that him and his band are fucking legends for reviving this masterpiece of a song. Rock on! \m/
Trihorn Magnamus had me in the first half ngl
Tell your friend he have a brazilian fan :D
Tell the singer i said hi😂
Back to the Mines then. There are Holes to be digged.
Damn skippy!
I was doing foundation work digging up an area my friend would sing this everyday while we dug.
Diggy Diggy Hole
Made by The Yogscast (in their WoW days, YOGS was theur acronym for their clan, Ye Olde Goon Squad)
the song was a 5 or 10 second tidbit in their initial minecraft series, Shadow of Israphel, sung bu Simon Lane (Common username, Honeydew)
as he stated:"It has to be sort of silly, but light hearted" and jjst went with it.
i itially, they made a remix of it to a dubstep tune with a custom minecraft animation video. Later, they made their own full version, which one of their local chiors sang not too long after, now THIS band took the leap to sing it next.
Its honestly hilarious how a tiny segmsnt of a long-dead series resonates like this, from a one person spur of the moment thing to a phenomenon thats synonymous to the game minecraft.
You should seriously check them out. Theyre good comedy
Loved the reaction at 6:43 to the drum break. That's Federico Gatti who just wowed you. He's also well known as the "beat master" for the band, "Ancient Bards." Very very very talented!
wow....he is also in Ancient Bards. That is cool.
The part that I enjoyed about this video was it introduces the ancient art of blacksmithing to the public. Most people dont even know what smithing is or see it in museums and fantasy books. As a fellow smith, I can assure you it is far from being the "dying art" it is portrayed to be. On a side note, for all of you uneducated folk, they are forging a shovel throughout this video, which makes sense since the song is "diggy diggy hole"
The original was from yogscast.
It is a pretty good cover song imho. And it fits Wind Roses MO. They are all about them dwarfs.
This song is forever stuck in my brain.
Bocaan The Humble The sometime ago you mentioned was back in 2014 damn time flies...
I like this:
"Maybe this is like a song from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves"
a few seconds later:
"How many dwarves are there?"
welcome to dwarf metal \m/ check Wind Rose - To Erebor [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
There's actually one band that labeled themselves as Dwarf Metal (not Wind Rose).
Check out "Baruk Khazâd".
I would like to recommend their song "Narag Zaram".
@@MetalUnitesPeopleOfficial bump so I remember to check this out later.
Thank's again guy's. IMO, the best Metal reactions and review channel in whole Tube. Keep up good work...\m/ \m/
Thanks for the kind words!

Now this would be a great drinking song, very catchy and uplifting, thanks for sharing, have a lovely day.
Not sure about this song, but a lot of there songs are inspired by Tolkien, author of the Lord of the Rings. Just discovered them last week. It's FUCKING DWARF METAL!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
It warmed my heart when I saw stupid smiles on their faces. I probably look same everytime listening to the Windrose. ❤️
If I ever get my hands on a time machine this will become a traditional folk song.
I really looking forward to the New album from this band, been a fan since the debut. They only get better, this cover is pure joy! Vikingdwarf-cheers from Norway!
Holy shit this was good, I love these songs that make you want to grab a mug of mead and have a fight in a medieval tavern

Defenetly a traditional folk song, i mean the lyrics are perfect for that.
Surley isnt some minecrafters having some fun. ;D
Agreed
from the same band, to Erebor is awesome and epic!
Awesome song by them.
Yep, the whole album is great!
Returning Race is great.
Got inspired by this song. Dug a big hole and now I can't get out of it - HELP!

Actually the original was sung by Simon from the Yogscast in one of their Minecraft videos, not Sparkles.
They are doing Prog Power festival in Atlanta in September and I cant wait to see them. You should listen to other stuff from them.
He was like: Don't recite the old magic to me witch!
I was there when it was written. 😂
I can listen to this over and over and over
"This just brightened my day up!" Yup, it's great at having that effect! :)

Well it was more fitting for the dwemer
Do not recite the deep magic to me, witch, I was there when it was written.
For it isnt dark, it is emotionally deep
I just have to say, just opened the video. And already love the Carach Angren shirt! Band from my hometown in the south of the Netherlands! Love to see the love they get abroad!
Totally should do a reaction to both the original and the updated version that this is a cover of
Infectious song! Can't wait to hear it live in Detroit on the first stop of Pagan Rebellion Pt. II
Lol this song... My hubby puts our son to sleep with this song since he was like 3 month old. And now they even sing "diggy diggy" parts together xD
This song on its own makes dwarfs 10 times cooler then elfs...
Windrose is one of the warm-up bands for Alestorm on their current european tour. Along with Rum Ahoy and Gloryhammer. 🤘😀🤘
I never knew this song until I heard it live.... And YES - the whole venue was chanting and having an awesome time 👍🤘😀🤘👍
The lead singer is a perfect dwarf right out of Tolkien
More WOW style imo, mostly because of the armor look. Still, absolutely fantastic look
Well that's because... they sing about Tolkien dwarfs.
"i have something to say..."
*me being 35, standing up in my home clapping* EXCELLENT JOB YOUNG MAN!!!!!
Guess it's time for you guys to react to more Wind Rose now. Pretty underrated band in my opinion. :)
This guys are Italian and they basically invented a genre: Dwarf Metal! I heavily suggest to react to another great song of them, "To Erebor", you won't be disappointed! You'll understand why we talk about "Dwarf Metal".
p.s. the whole album "Stonehymn" is just great, inspired by Tolkien themes and with melodies that reminds a lot Morricone's works.
You two got me laughing as soon as you were singing along.
Absolutly amazing... at first hearing you realize that this song is EPIC as DWARF METAL can be, don`t you?
I cant help but laugh with joy every time I listen to this song/band.
You will probably have the chorus of this song in your head for weeks. It certainly beats 'Hi ho, it's off to work we go'!
There are a number of vids on TH-cam about the evolution of this song.
You guys need to read the video description before making a video 😂. Wind Rose are absolutely amazing
They are Italian btw and some of the nicest people I have met.
I love how they both went from "Well this is certainly not rap..." to "Okay, nice beat, interesting" to "hell yea I can headbang to this" to "A chuckle during the first chorus" to "singing along with the second chorus". xD
You guys need to check out the video for their song The Returning Race
You are right! Awesome song
I was suprised that you never heard of this band. This is really up your alley with the happy folk metal / Gloryhammer / Sabaton and such bands you guys listen to.
I had seen their name, but had never really listen to a song of theirs.
@@APREACTS Also great that your son is lecture you about the song normally it is the other way around especially with 90s Headbangers Ball music.
It was a bit strange I must say
Doggy Diggy Hole was originally a song about Minecraft, made by the Yogscast many years ago
That video which I linked is the very creation itself. Simon, aka Honeydew, pulled it out of his butt there.

It's all from just a silly moment, a bit of banter. That's the very birth of this entire thing.
I really enjoy your reactions
Finally Wind Rose. I have tried to tell you to check them out before but i kinda gave up :D . If you want to hear more react to Wind Rose - To Erebor
We will for sure check some more from them before their NA tour with Arkona. I want to know more about their discography.
The song was made by Yogscast and its based on minecraft qame. It was later popularised and remixed by Dan Bull for again Yogscast channel.
Because of this I shall forever dub this as the dwarven anthem
This is one of my go-to songs when I'm at work. Its awesome
This will get stuck in your head. I found this a little bit ago it hasn't left my head since lol.
The Yogs version had a 10hr loop
YOU MONSTER HOW COULD YOU NOT HEARD OF IT !!!😂😂😂

I saw them a few years ago on a small metal festival, it was the best show of the festival 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Soooo much singalong value, yeah. This is fab. Gotta share with my Minecrafting kids. 🤘
I like that this song is sung by real dwarf.
Sooo the song is about digging a hole...gosh that's deep.
;D
Would love to hear more Queensryche. Take Hold of The Flame is a great one with a good live video from Tokyo in '84.
When I saw how much time was left after the live reaction, I was hoping they were going to also watch the original version.
"Maybe it's a cover of a classic folk song" xD Well, it's a classic alright! :'D
React to the original!
Wait, did The Yogscast do a cover of this or the other way around? :)
Any plans on reacting to Bloodred Hourglass - The Unfinished Story (Official Music Video)?
Wind Rose did the cover of Yogscast from the looks of it. BRHG should be up on Saturday...that is the plan.
Yogscast simon came up with the basics of this song in a minecraft session.
Falaxard the was a studio version that came out later that year for a pre-minecon thing so technically the original song is 8 years old now
The lyrics to this song are suitably deep. 😎🍺
Check out their newesr song, Drunken Dwarves!! Just out last week!!
That Carach Angren shirt +1
React to Mortal Reminder by Pentakill. You'll love it
I remember the day that the original of this song was released (i have played minecraft for like 9 years now)
