  • HOLY SHIT, Thank you all SO MUCH for now 690,000+ views. Nice
    UPDATE: Well, it reached 1 mil views. Between everything I have going on right now in life, I want to get to work on a sequel to this video, compiling every version I can find. But my life is already stacked, so I can only get to it when I have the time.
    This is something I would never have imagined would happen to one of my videos.
    So much love for all of you!!!
    I thought for 100k views I would finally make a thumbnail for this video instead of using the automatic one, just to celebrate.
    This is a compilation of how Diggy Diggy hole became what we know today.
    All Videos are linked below
    I DO NOT own any of them, this is a compilation series only.

    The sequel to this video will begin production soon, I didn't realize how fast this video would hit 1 mil. Between my full time job and sleep, I don't have too much time to work on it. But I will begin making the video soon. And yes, I will include the Dance Remix and the Longest Johns cover in the updated one.
    Because so many people are saying it, I am not adding the Diggy Diggy Hole Danve remix.
    Due to the music video will prob get the video age restricted and I don't want that on a video when the bulk of it is just normal sfw songs showing the evolution of a meme.
    If you want to see the Dance Remix, here is the link:

    I would just like to add some lore to the evolution of this meme/song. The guy who sang the original diggy diggy hole song in the first video used a ‘welsh’ accent. Wales is a mountainous part of the United Kingdom where historically the men would work as coal miners, so if you are British and want to impersonate a dwarf you would naturally use a ‘welsh’ accent.

    The two later versions of Diggy Diggy Hole had me humming that tune all day and night. Turned what was a lacklustre song to begin with and made it into a theme for fantasy movies and board games involving dwarves. They gave the song more respectability in later years. Very interesting history.

    oh, nostalgia!!
    I remember my brother showing me all but the last one, way back, and I've had the second to last one on my music playlist ever since.
    The wind and roses one I didn't know existed until recently, when someone on tumblr mentioned it in a way that implied they thought it was the original/only version and I went "that can't be right. It's by YOGSCAST. And the timeline is wrong too, based on what point in my life this was at, it couldn't have come out any later than 2014."
    and then looked it up and discovered it was a cover, but didn't actually listen to it at that time.
    I should have.
    It needs to go on my playlist too.
