Chorus: My rank's gone down I'm wondering why I... My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I.. Booted up the game at all got out of bed at all Angry BM fills the chat window The morning rain clouds up my window.. And I can't play at all and I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be cheese And even if I could it'd all be gray, But your BO on my wall but your picture on my wall It reminds me that it's not so bad It reminds me, that it's not so bad, It's not so bad it's not so bad..

He's 26 years old That's my little brother man, he's only six years old We waited in the Blistering Sands for you for 4 hours and you just said "No" We waited in the blistering cold for you, four hours and you just said, "No." That's pretty ‘tasteless’ man, he treats you like his Guru That's pretty shitty man - you're like his fucking idol He wants to play just like you man, he macros just like you do He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do I ain't that mad, I'm really not the type to "boohoo" I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to Remember when we met at Blizzcon, you said if I messaged you, you'd hit me back Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I'd write you you would write back See, I'm kinda like you in a way, I never miss my Larvae neither see I'm just like you in a way, I never knew my father neither; I outmacro my opponents and beat em he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her I can relate to how you’re playing in your games I can relate to what you're saying in your songs so when I have a shitty day, I load your stream and then press play so when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on cuz I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I be stressed cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed I even got a picture of your face up on my desk I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest Sometimes I even rush my friends to brush up on my cheese Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds cuz that 3 minute mark...all-ins are such a sudden rush for me It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me Everything you do is pro, and you're so focused when you're preppin' See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it My practice partner's jealous cuz I talk about you 24/7 My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7 But he don't know you like I know you, Grack, no one does!

Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive? Remember that thread up on TL by some angry guy You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night" about why Protoss was OP by everyone that used them? about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning And how you never even say GG when you be losing? but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him? That's nothing like this is, but you coulda rescued me from losing That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning now it's too late, I'm down a thousand ladder points now and cruising Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy And all I wanted was a lousy message, or a game and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures out the frames I hope you know I ripped ALL of your pictures off the wall I loved you Grack, we coulda played together, THINK about it I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it You ruined it now, I hope you can't win and you DREAM about it You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it and when you STREAM I hope it just lags and you RAGE about it And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it I hope your conscious RAPES you and you can't PLAY without me I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me Hey Gre...Shut up Noob, I'm tryin to cast!

Gotta love this rapping. I know I've heard the names Suspense and Smix before, not sure about Mr. Wiggles but awesome job to you too dude! Keep doing music guys, looking forward to more blogs.
hahah thanks everyone. Yeah, about the visuals :p. I was using a beat up Canon Powershot A350...which is pretty much a camera with video capabilities! I also shot all the video today lmao! Glad you like it though!!
I would just like to thank Tempo for letting me do the verse for Idra. Would like to thank Smix for putting that lovely voice on the hook. And thank Mr. Wiggles for the story and original lyrics behind this. Tempo put a lot of work into this and I'm glad people seem to like it.

Hell yeah man. It was a blast working with, and I'm glad it's finally done so I can go out tonight and celebrate hahaha. Thank you community .
That was just about the greatest sc2 parody song i've ever seen. Amazing. loved the video. loved how well the story was told. loved the audio production value. Put this shit on itunes man its fucking amazing
OMGGGG! Its everything I hoped it'd be... Infinity/10. To Smix, this further re-inforces my impression of you as my Ideal girl! To Suspense, Pro-rappin' mate! To Mr.Wiggles, this is prob the 2nd best written parody after Weird Al's Star Wars-American Pie parody! Major MAJOR props to all'ya... I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY!!!
Holy shit, it'ss so much better than I expected. Well done, seriously! XD The only thing that would have made it better is if IdrA himself sang the last verse. xD

That was the most epic song ever. I was just listening to Stan the other day. Unfortuantely, this reminds me I'm getting to old to be good at starcraft.

fuck it was so awesome.
if idra and artosis sang this.... FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKF ADSGADFGNSDAFIHNBaerjthgnakdfb;akbj it would be so awesome.
i mainly liked the lyrics, the execution was a bit flawed (in the rapping, sounded awkward to me, idk) but thats more than fine :D
fantastic fucking job
The lyrics were phenomenal, and the rapping was good too. The only part that was a bit off IMO was the end. "Come to think of it ... it was you. Damn." There was no pause or emphasis... he just sorta sang it normally. Which I guess counts as poor execution.
The rest was so good though. The spotlight description has it dead on: So good. Soooooooo good.
The only problem with that build order is he isn't sending his drones as well Other than that really well done TempO781, thanks for putting the time in to make this!
Nice, just saw this in the sidebar, ironically watching IdrA's stream haha. Really great job, to everyone involved in the actual production of this! This is like some kind of nerd dream come true, it's just so awesome!
IdrA FIGHTINGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!
Edit: Buried in replies soon, but good job doing this for me, so amazing!!!!
Oh my fucking God. This is brilliant. The lyrics are as sharp and hilarious as something Eminem would actually write! Even the twist at the end is brilliant (Given artosis' recent race switch recently) Wow. Props.
you just kill it ! You need to contact idra and tell him " Hey Greg listen ... we must make it possible to hear this AT GSL , when you enter the ring :d"
Every player need his song , when he enter to the GSL "boxes" its my dream now .. you make it happend :D Lets the revolution begins !

Also, I love the BO for sixpooling, and also the leather gracket, and his glasses, nice touches!
Too bad video is so bland. If you appealed to some movie director like husky did, this would've been 10 times better than "Banelings". Oh and chorus is really really low, you should up it some db higher.
Really good and fun to listen to. And I'm in love with Smix, it's so cool she keeps singing on songs like these and she has an amazing voice. Check these out by Smix if for some reason you missed them: + Show Spoiler +

Other than that, great song and awesome lyrics.
I know what u mean lol. Like I said previously, though, I recorded everything myself in a day on a camera meant for taking photos (And isn't even great at that :p) . IT was mainly thrown in there to keep people occupied for the 7 or so minutes that the song is. Thanks for the love and support regardless, though! I'll prob up the chorus, but in the original, it's pretty low and kind of subtle as well, so I was just keeping the original feel.
When I saw this on the front page, tears came to my eyes as the greatness of that old thread washed over me. I realized that the wait was finally over.
As I listened, the heavens opened up, shining with the light of Artosis's chronoboosted warpgates in his inevitable four warpgate rush that he does every game. My tears were bitter, but they were still of joy.

Yet another reason why Starcraft II has the best community in the world. Amazing, amazing work. The person who wrote the lyrics, the singers, the production values, the video - everything is amazing. And to think that all of this is done free of cost out of self-interest just proves that no other online gaming community can touch this one.
Yeah I usually absolutely despise these parodies, however I knew when I saw the title that I just might be surprised with this one... Very well done, it's the first I've enjoyed :>
Epic video. In the end for a minute I thought suspense went "here's a build a build order for Nick I wrote down that I took from catz" and it was that ling rush. donno why I heard that but was funnier haha
It feels like every week some new starcraft song is released I find myself saying "This is by far the best sc related song I've heard" keep up that trend, loving the amount of songs coming! :D
This was amazing, the best part was that I was a little slow and kept wondering why all these references to tasteless were made. It wasn't until the end when the credit thanks Artosis that I put 2 and 2 together and it went from great to epic. It was like All the good M. Night Shamalaman moments put together in one moment (of course there might only be 1 ) when I figured it out.
Wow, I am WAY late to this party (I didn't realize you had released it!!) but again, thanks for the awesome awesome work tempo!! Was such a pleasure working with you! Great job to suspense as well
By far the best parody song in SC2. Super clever writing as it fits Starcraft perfectly without changing the spirit of the song.
'And what's this stuff where you said about you like to use some cheese too? I did that once in GSL, come on, how bronze league is you?' cracked me up totally for some reason. Just perfect

Joking someone doesn't mean they are disliked.
Incontrol likes artosis, but jokes the shit out of him.
This is really cool SC2-wise, but I've gotta say that even though I'm not a rap/hip-hop fan, this song is probably one of the best rap songs of all time. Probably best of Eminem's works. You've put it to good use man

o.O Holy hell, as someone who actually listened to Natalie Imbruglia as a kid Torn is an amazing parody too...haha. But yeah, the Stan parody also kicks all sorts of ass.

"Some kid “all-ined” every game and always lost Dropped a couple leagues, got mad anf finally he switched to Toss In his posts they found a cast, didn’t say who it was to"
I've seen/heard some really good starcraft 2 songs posted here on TL since i joined, but this is hands down the best one so far. Amazing job, and thank you!
wow, fantastic song. and i actually find its melody quite beautiful. dunno why, but the parts which are sung by dido in the original somehow sound even better in the parody than in the original.
I wrote this down so people not very familiar with the original text by Eminem can appreciate all the work that must have went into this cover version. Feel free to update the original post because once I saw it line by line it's even more impressive than it already was.

Damn!
Heard this last night during the TSL Open, this is definitely my favourite SC2 related parody so far, great work! Thanks for writing and performing it and to all those involved.
we need a new video! TL should make something for it. or even blizzard. play it in the gsl. this is just so epic! idrA fans are the best! clearly this guy grabs the most attention! love the gracken!
i can't wait for idrA to comment on this and come back to the TL forum, as he is banned right now (sad).
i was really skeptical at first, and after the first rhymes, BUT then
If you didn't wanna play after the tourney really quick That's cool, but you could have at least played a game with Nick That's like my brother, man. He's 26 years old We waited in the Blistering Sands for you for 4 hours and you just said "No" That's pretty ‘tasteless’ man, he treats you like his Guru He wants to play just like you man, he macros just like you do
I just don't want you to do some crazy shit I saw this one thread on GomTV a couple weeks ago that made me sick Some kid “all-ined” every game and always lost Dropped a couple leagues, got mad an finally he switched to Toss In his posts they found a cast, didn’t say who it was to Come to think about it..his name was..it was you...Damn
This song was freggin amazing man gj gj raped the replay button xD loved your choice of song for the parody, crazy how you tied the original and this parody together.
Awesome. I was hoping this is what you were going to be doing when I saw that you had a comment on a YouTube vid for a Stan instrumental. You definitely did not disappoint.

Yeah gotta agree with this.
Not to diss Husky or anything. He does a lot to promote SC2 reaching out to alot of people but this song right here is so freakin better than any other sc2 song I've heard.
The lyrics and vocals are spot on and if this was on spotify I would add it to my playlist immediately.

I think it would be overkill for me to do it , but man, I do love these lyrics as well haha.
The greatest success we have achieved in making this song was egtting Artosis to positively comment :D. IdrA's is next to follow in order for it to reach gosux2 legendary status.

Hooooly cow, every bit of this is awesome! The vocals sound like the original, the video editing is great, and the lyrics were amazing.
I'm something of a connoisseur of light verse so it's not very often that I'm blown away by a song parody. This was one of those times.
Massive props to everyone involved and thanks to Soleone for the line-by-line comparison.
edit: I read through all the comments in the thread now, and there were only two criticisms in 25 pages.

Both of those points are good ones imo, but they're such tiny things compared to the awesomeness that is the song as a whole... I take my hat off.
I also wanted to say good job to the creators of this! I saw the thread a while ago but didn't listen, now after so much good feedback I thought it was worth hearing and I was quite impressed! Really awesome song :D
My coffee's gone cold, I'm wondering why I... came to work at all Bored as hell sitting at my comp in my little cubicle Just sitting here waiting for lunchtime but then I saw this post on TL It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad....
This is the GREATEST SC2 song ever. BY FAR THE BEST EVER remake of a song for SC purposes.. I was SHOCKED at how amazing this was. As a huge fan of the original song I was scared for it, but you did it TOTAL justice with a perfect mirror in sc2.
