i can't believe im listening to the entire thing...omg...lol...you must have balls...HUGE balls...especially during the woooaaaAAhhHHHHHhhhh...haha...props...
Thanks for the comments guys, and about our singing.. Yeah we pretty much suck.. My voice is nasally as hell and the other guy just sounds like a drunk mofo all the time. Regardless of how crappy we sound, it was pretty damn fun to do. We wrote the lyrics on thursday night in like an hour and recorded it the next day. It was pretty much like "dude im bored lets make a starcraft cover of a random song", so we did. Hope you guys found it as funny as we did while attempting to write it.
And if anyone wants an mp3 for some reason.. I uploaded it here:
teamliquid should have a starcraft song parody contest. every once and awhile some one takes a song and makes a starcraft remix of it which is pretty funny. if a mod sees this maybe they can remember it next time they need a contest idea ^^
I lolled ,I was Actually rewriting lyrics aswelll for this song so this was somewhat of a minduck, but I guess I'll have to abandon my version since I was too slow
The quiet, muffled kid in the background was extremely irritating. Honestly, just type out the lyrics and post them next time for a better overall effect. Or just find a replacement for the quiet kid with a pillow over his face. Otherwise, clever.

Yes exactly! It's unfortunate that good singers are never heard but bad singers that somehow get contracts make songs that already sound bad and would be even worse without autotune.

The original was hilarious with the bad singing and the acoustic remake is funny but also a lot more listenable in a sense. Great idea and it's nice to see other takes on it.

No they're not. A lot of the pop artists people love to rip on are actually very talented. Check out Lady Gaga before she was Gaga:
That being said, I like the first version of DTs on top better than the second, which sounds very indie-ish to me... which just doesn't work for a song like Tik Tok.

same here, although i sing this version evertime i hear tik tak on the radio.
lol the lyrics are so catchy that went back home tonight, my gf who doesn't know anything about starcraft was singing : "macro like lightning, zealots always fighting, DTs, on top,and my ghosts they call the shots". the best part was when she sang the whohohohohoo rofl

I love Lady Gaga, she's really talented. But what does that have to do with Ke$ha? Find me a video of Ke$ha where she actually sings well and maybe I'll change my mind.
I was a bit hesitant to listen, as i'm not a fan of the original music and I generally find these types of things pretty lame... but you guys did well. Nice work.

Well the singing in this version is much nicer, but I don't think the acoustic sound suits this song.
Some people are being pretty harsh about the singing, it's not like their professionals. Just because you're used to hearing perfectly tuned studio voices doesn't make the vocals in this amateur parody horrid.
the acoustic version was WAY better. Your song is great, but the youtube version was horrible and painful to listen to but I was laughing because the lyrics were so good and the singing was so bad. Now all you need to do is slap on some autotune....
Also, there's no reason for people not to expect quality, either is good or its bad, its not like they're running a charity for blind praise.

acoustic means without electronic amplification, ie: unplugged. I think you're mixing your words up. What you meant to say was you want this dudes singing with the backing track of the OP. Right?

Edited. That's what I meant yes Didn't mix up words though. You know how it is when you're writing something and thinking something different at the same time? Bad idea ;>
Hey guys, just got the link to this thread from a friend. I wanted to make an acoustic version just for a bit of variety and I'm glad a few of you like it. I didn't want to just have a version with me singing over the Kesha backing track cos I feel like that has been done already. Also, I know an acoustic version isn't really "appropriate", which is sort of why I think it's funny- like when you hear an acoustic cover of a death metal band or whatever?
Also, come on, my version has me singing like 5 part harmony, that's gotta be worth something.
Edit: BlackMesa if you read this would you mind accepting my video as a response on youtube? Thanks

I loved your version! DL'd it... And yes, the harmony was amazing x]
my gf and I heard this song when we were watching livestream games on Roffles' stream. We never heard the original song before we heard this song. The tune was stuck in our heads for a week! Yesterday, we finally heard the original song on the radio. We didn't know there was an original song. It was HILARIOUS! I think you guys' version is better :D

Hello all! I register here only when find this theme and listen this music. Me from Russia, and my English is not good, so i ask you to write words of this song. P.S. This is really wonderful song, and i hope, we will listen some such amazing compositions.

I download this song already, but cannot understand some "shorted" word (such cause, for example (i know what "cause" means, it's just example)), so i ask someone to write somewhere words and give link here. Hittegods. I just watch this link on Youtube, where i saw only 1 static picture... =\

This happens all the time to me, actually. Which is bad because it's one of the most popular songs played at parties. Which I don't really go to. I guess it's not a problem after all.

Yeah some people on my floor were singing Tik Tok and I chimed with these lyrics and it didn't go over too well lol.

I think of this song everytime I hear the original too. I think it actually makes me like the original more
I don't know why, I suddenly felt like listening to this song again (last time I heard it was probably in April).
Here's a bump for the newer users; I really think this was one of the better things that happened to SC in 2010 given how much shit we went through >.<
yyeah there was the free agency and scandal and teams disbanding and stuff
but we also had epic epic finals with flash s jaedong multiple times, skt vs kt dream proleague finals, and nony vs mondragon dream oldschool finals etc etc
This was so awesome, been forever since I listened to it. Probably the best SC song. If I remember correctly wasn't this the first one that kinda started that wave of some parodies we saw? Or am I wrong?
Yeah i think a lot of people missed that song because it was only posted to some blog thread a long time ago, so i reposted it here and now more people will hopefully notice that fantastic track
Talking about the song a couple o' posts above this one, obviously.
I still have this as my ringtone and when someone is calling me i usually just sing along until I role with random every game and then i pick up the phone
