Video: Gluecklich (Happy)

During the last weeks I made a video to the song “Gluecklich” (Happy) by Farin Urlaub from the German band “Die Aerzte”. The footage is recorded in World of Warcraft and for editing I used - guess what - BLENDER! Because the use of Blender isn’t obvious, I hesitatet with announcing it here. But the feedback of the WoW community was so overwhelmingly positive (I even made it to the front page of the Official German WoW website www.worldofwarcraft.de for one day) that I decided to let you take part in the experience.

For those who don’t speak German, here is a rough translation:

Are you a butcher?
Do you study medicine?
Are you from far away?
Or are you from Berlin?
Are you a dominatrix?
Or rather submissive?
Are you a pianist?
Or helicopter pilot?

Chorus:
It doesn’t matter what you are - as long as you are happy!
It doesn’t matter what you are - as long as you are happy!

Are you addicted to love?
Or are you a misanthrope?
Are you a fashion model?
Or rather a cyclops?
Do you prefer shadow?
Or are you always deeply tanned?
Are you a gourmet?
Do you prefer snack stands?

Chorus:
It doesn’t matter what you are - as long as you are happy!
(modified) It doesn’t matter what you eat - as long as you get podgy!

Don’t let anyone tell you bullshit! - Life is wonderful!

It doesn’t matter what you are - as long as you are happy!
(modified) It doesn’t matter what you drive - as long as it has a rear light!
And if you happen to have no rear light - just take a pocket lamp!

Damn, that works on so many levels. It’s fun to watch, it would make a nice ad for WOW and also a nice music video for that tune. And it’s funny. The fat joke is awesome :stuck_out_tongue: It almost makes me want to play WoW. Almost.

ps: I love your nick / avatar image. That has to be one of the best comics of all time.
