Just a little random story that I felt like writing down, and this blog seemed like the best place for it.
In my office at work we tend to have a random Spotify playlist playing in the background throughout the day, and it never ceases to amaze me how different songs coming up can instantly trigger all kinds of memories in me. One might remind me of an ex-boyfriend, another one of a place I used to work at, yet another one makes me think of a specific film.
Today a song came on that suddenly made me think of WoW, and for a rather silly reason at that. The song in question is Waterfalls by TLC.
Back in Burning Crusade I remember my guild working on Gurtogg Bloodboil in the Black Temple. I don't remember all the details of the fight, but I know that positioning was critical to it, and people had to make sure to stand in certain places and to move at certain times to make sure that the blood boil debuff would go on the right players. Also, the encounter was set in a room where there was water flowing down the sides of some walls for some reason.
One time after someone had caused us trouble by running too far away from his dedicated position, our main tank chided him: "#Name, don't go chasing waterfalls!" I'm sure it was nothing but a throwaway joke, but to me it was extremely hilarious at the time... so much so that just hearing the song now instantly takes me back to that moment even more than ten years later.
Funny how these things work.

Adding this as a comment because I thought of it immediately after posting but can't think of a good way of editing it in: There are actually plenty of other songs that make me think of WoW, but that's usually because I associate them with parodies that I listened to much more often than the actual originals they were based on, such as "The Way I Are" ("Ulduar") or "Alejandro" ("Alexstrasza").
ReplyDeleteI do love that song (the TLC version) :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess I've got this as an earworm for the next while.
