Apropos: I am a dwarf, and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a dwarf, and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole [VIDEO]

I feel like this[1] should be the theme song of that game. Never played it myself, I hear it's epic hard but this song plays in my head every time I hear the name. 1. [VIDEO]

Semi-serious. It regularly picks up an entirely bizarre song, however in doing so it's also found some bangers. My kid loves diggy-diggy hole and it played the wind rose version ( [VIDEO] ) which is awesome. I asked for I wanna be like you for the kids and got the expected one a few times. Then one time it returned the triple J version by the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets ( [LINK] ) which became the new version for running around the room pretending to be a rollercoaster. These are covers at least, but it will also just play the weirdest mishearings of something. So semi-serious as I'm mocking it getting things wildly wrong, but also legitimately we discover new music this way.

Completely offtopic, but my first reaction was this song. Enjoy for those who would enjoy such things: [VIDEO]

One of the "I'm trying to find it" ... Fantasy metal. I was wondering where I'd find Blind Guardian ( [LINK] [LINK] ) or the newly emerging dwarfish metal genre with Windrose (best known for their rendition of Diggy Diggy Hole [VIDEO] but they've got other music that celebrates fantasy dwarf culture - [LINK] )
