Let's Get Down to Business!

Living Myth - Guild Wars 2 Mulan

The "I'll Make a Man Out of You" training montage song has a strange way of popping up all over the internet. It can strike anywhere, at any time. All it takes is a random commenter to say "Let's get down to business" and the thread is instantly derailed -- for good reason, of course! While I can't say I exactly understand why this particular song from 1998's Mulan is such a hit right now, neither would I do anything to change that.

I am as amused as anyone that this song has become something of a pseudo-meme lately, and thought I'd pay tribute by putting a gaming spin on it. For whatever reason, I felt compelled to write new lyrics that parody a certain subset of the "hardcore" Guild Wars 2 community.


First, for reference, here's the original song from Mulan :




And now, I humbly submit my Guild Wars 2 re-write, dedicated to DPS-crazed, dungeon-farming "meta" gamers:


Lets get down to business
and exploit the bugs!
When I wipe the party,
shift the blame on PUGs.


You're the lamest n00bs in LFG
I can see before we're done
I'll ragequit CoF Path 1


Power and Precision
and Ferocity!
Practice your rotation,
stack your boons on me!

You're a bunch of filthy casuals.
Who says games were meant for fun?
I'll ragequit CoF Path 1


I never win in PvP,
only cuz that mode is broken!
Highest deeps you've ever seen, even wearing greens!
Just stand around in Queensdale zergs
wearing my Commander token.

As fun to group with as forum trollers,
As practical as a cannon made of glass!


DOTs are ticking on us
It's a damage race
Nuking all the bosses
while my dubstep plays

Though I miss my gear with Magic Find
I don't mind more farming runs:
"Only zerks, CoF Path 1"

    1. Heh, thanks! :-)
      I have no musical talent, but I have imagined it in my head several times and it would be amazing to hear. It would be great if somebody out there adapted it though!
