Ni sitter där I Ventrilo och spelar DotA
Vi sitter här I venten och spelar lite DotA

Å pushar på å smeker, med motståndet vi leker
Vi sitter här I venten och spelar lite DotA
Å springer runt å creepar, och motståndet vi sleepar

The chorus repeats the line "We sit here in the vent and play a little DotA", emphasizing the group's dedication to the game. The verses describe actions within the game, such as pushing, creeping, and sleeping the enemy team. The use of gaming jargon and references will likely resonate with other DotA players, and the upbeat tempo and catchy melody make the song fun to dance and sing along to.

We're sitting here in the vent and playing a little DotA

And running around and creeping

We're sitting here in the vent and playing a little DotA
And pushing on and caressing
With the resistor we're playing
We're sitting here in the vent and playing a little DotA
And running around and creeping
The resistor we're sleeping

Such a shame he died off with this genre. Brings back really good memories and how popular the music was and now a days I play Basshunter and people have never heard of him...
