Minecraft Style versus Gangnam Style

Cory Doctorow at 12:01 pm Tue, Oct 23, 2012

CaptainSparklez's "Minecraft Style" is a spot-on perfect "Gangnam Style" parody featuring all the eight-bit tropes and memes we love from Minecraft, scaled up in glorious jaggievision. Love the "sexy piggies."

Diggin' a hole, just one more time until I score this
Strike rich on diamonds, iron, gold and build our decked out fortress
All we need is just a bit of luck to not abort this
Runnin' low we can't afford this
Dungeons under here
Just the last time a group of creepers came out over there
Blew up a vein of diamonds then chased us all out of there
A spider army dropped down from the roof into our hair
Ran back to fresh air

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I will have to counter with the new ‘David Lo-Pan Style’ as the best parody yet:

  You win. Amazing. I love that movie…

    I love that they got James Hong to come cameo in it and he requested that he be credited as “Lo Pan”

I just wish my little lego-man could do that dance.

My 11-year-old son is a HUGE Captain Sparklez fanboy, and I have already heard this parody many many times in the last couple days, but never thought to see it here on BoingBoing. Worlds colliding!!
