[edit] Correct title?

Is this title incorrect? I think it's Vi Sitter HAR i Ventrilo Och Spelar DotA. Additionally, it doesn't sound like he's saying "Ventrilo" but Venten O.0 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.9.239.140 (talk • contribs) 23:08, 1 January 2007

Just take a look at the cover. That should tell you the title of the article is correct.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING(Я) 09:08, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I think so too; that he's singing "Venten" and not "Ventrilo", but I suppose that's some kind of slang for Ventrilo, and the title of the song doesn't have to be the same as what's actually sung anyway. - x-Flare-x 10:33, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Correct, venten is slang for ventrilo. 83.233.58.40 21:19, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarism?

I think it should be mentioned that this song is an obvious rip-off of the song "Daddy DJ" by the French trio Daddy DJ that was a major hit in Europe in 2001. While the lyrics are completely different, the melody is almost identical. I don't know wether Basshunter has acknowledged this officially or not. - x-Flare-x 10:33, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

To back up this claim I refer to the AllMusic entry on "Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA" (I'm not sure how reliable it is as a source though, but for the moment it's better than none):

Composed By
Belval, J.C./LeRoy, D.

and the article on Daddy DJ on the German Wikipedia:

Daddy DJ ist eine DJ-Formation aus Frankreich und besteht aus drei Bandmitgliedern David Le Roy, Jean-Christophe Berval und Charly.

which translates to: "Daddy DJ is a DJ group from France and consists of the three band members David Le Roy, Jean-Christophe Berval and Charly." - x-Flare-x 19:04, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I noticed now that the composers are already stated in the infobox about the song. Nevermind. - x-Flare-x 19:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Language

What language are the words in this song. The article does not say. Gary van der Merwe (Talk) 05:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

The lyrics are in Swedish. I changed the article to reflect this. Thanks for pointing it out. :) - x-Flare-x 06:56, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion?

I think it's faulty to delete on the notion that it is a 'non-notable song'. As one can see from the numbers on the right-hand side, the song was fairly popular in Scandinavian countries, and it is made by a notable artists that has released two albums and has his own article on wikipedia. There are plenty of songs on American albums on this site that aren't released singles or even popular at all. I would suggest that we don't use an American bias when looking at whether or not to delete this article. 199.111.215.73 02:16, 16 April 2007 (UTC)


I feel the article should not be deleted, because of this songs significance in bringing youth technology culture into mainstream music. Both in relation to the first single from the same album (Boten Anna), and to previous songs such as "SMS" by the Barcode Brothers, it has a central place in describing the emergence of technology and internet as a major force in the daily life of todays youth, and this song in particular illustrates the passive consumer role and fatalistic boredom that leads to a shift from the first wave of internet users into the mass market. It also illustrates cross cultural influences, exemplified by the interlinking on this very site between this song and the articles on Ventrilo and DotA. 217.144.236.4 09:04, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

A third vote for this article against deletion. To quote the Music Notability article "It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable." Basshunter has two published albums, one of which was released by Warner Music and has reached great success in Swedish-language markets. That in no way means it is eligible for deletion because of notability. After two days up, three objections, and no arguments for, I am taking down the deletion notice. 68.54.164.8 11:46, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I'd put a fourth on that, everyone I know who knows about BH, usually the only song they know is DotA, and it leads me to assume, that has to be one of his major hits. Tainted Love:Soft Cell::DotA:BassHunter, IMHO.


EDIT: Sorry, I didn't read the sentance "I am taking down the deletion notice." -Anon. April 9, '08

[edit] Music Video

What do hot chicks dancing around have to do with DotA? I don't get it.

Because DotA is über sexy, even more so than the women. (I'm not gay.) Yeah, we're going to leave this topic up here until W, April 16th, so you have one week to see my answer, then I'm going to delete this discussion topic. -Anon. April 9th '08
