You'll be humming this little ditty for weeks.

It's "The Internet is for Porn," isn't it? Isn't it?

(I saw the musical. So so so great.)

[Drew]

I doubt you've seen it performed by Warcraft characters, though.

[Bex]

Yeah, I've actually seen that too, but my theatrical excursion predates the WoW version by over a year and will always be first in my heart.

[Avenger_teambg]

So the WoW version is just a remake?

[jcompton]

Yes, the song is originally from a stage play called Avenue Q, which is a satire of Sesame Street, a long-running children's show.

Yep youtube kills your time like nothing else (erm besides visiting that old Kangax' basement solo). Btw, Jason, do you happen to know, if it is mere coincidence or product placement what the 'model people' do? It seems somewhat odd for a musical to name all these companies.

Also try this, 'model people':

You mean the fact that eBay etc. are mentioned in the song? I would be very surprised if it was paid product placement... I think it's just trying to be relevant/name-dropping/etc.

Contemporary references. Everybody knows what eBay is, so the joke is relevant now, but may not date well.
