First of May Video
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Spiff, of previous World of Warcraft video excellence, has finally turned his attention to this song. If you are offended by the sight of naked WoW avatars having various kinds of physical relations, you may want to skip this one - this is not some kind of metaphorical treatment of the subject matter, if you see what I’m saying. And if you are offended by the song itself, for God’s sake, just don’t watch this. Otherwise, please enjoy Spiff’s video for First of May.

Well, thank you. Everyone always focuses on the negative when they’re warning people away from this video. It’s a funny video, people! I packed this one full of every possible gag I could imagine, and believe me, with a song like this, I had plenty to work with. I think that if you’re not viscerally offended by this work of art, you’ll be charmed by its moxie.

OMG, that’s dead brill!
I like how it isn’t strictly gratuitious; there’s actually a narrative thread hidden in there.

OK, I first LOL when the squirrel and the chipmonk got it on. And plenty of times after that! More filth, excuse me, art, please! Another winner from Spiff!

It was me who did the squirrel/chipmunk gag, the assistant editor- that was my assisting.

It’s a great video, but I knew it would be, Spiff if great at making videos in WOW.

Well done! The running gag with the guy and the sheep was genius.

Personally my favourite was the two guards saluting as they were getting blown. But the sheep was good too.

I got an email from a fan of the video warning me that it’s rumored that YouTube doesn’t just remove offending videos, they remove the accounts of people who post offending videos. Yikes! As a fallback position, I’ve dusted off my old http://www.spiffworld.com site to act as a place where I can still get information about my videos out to people who are interested. YouTube and I are still simpatico for now, but you never know when they’ll go all Joe Pesci on me…

[...] The music is brilliant and Jonathan Coulton is obviously a musician who’s music I must invest some more time toward listening to. If all of his songs are this creatve, I’m sure I’ll become a huge fan. [...]
