Description[]

Mine Diamonds is a 2016 music video meme, in which a static poorly drawn cave with a Minecraft player is seen mining a diamond ore, with a child singing its lyrics in cacophonous tone. Due to its poor quality and loud nature, the song became popular and received its numerous cover versions.

History[]

This song is originally from a live stream of LisboKate, a Portuguese ROBLOX streamer. She sang it because some one said her to sing this song in the donations. Mine Diamonds is a Minecraft parody of the song Take On Me. The original video's title is "MINE DIAMONDS | miNECRAFT PARODY OF TAKE ON ME" uploaded by YouTuber music artist Minecraft Awesome Parodys on November 20, 2016. It currently has over 40 million views on YouTube.

The video consists of a poorly-drawn MS-Paint picture and a child singing his parody song "Mine Diamonds". The song became infamous with how the music is so much quieter than the voice, especially around the chorus, the voice tone and the very loud singing on a low-quality microphone. It is also notable for how simplistic it is, with the poorly-made picture, low camera quality, many coughs and pauses throughout, and even an older person shouting "Shut the f*cking door!" in the background.

Trivia[]

  • MineCraft Awesome Parodys has since made more minecraft parody videos, though none are quite as infamous as "Mine Diamonds".
    • The second most popular one "ALL THE OTHER PLAYERS | PARODY OF PUMPED UP KICKS" sports 2.7 million views, and the rest currently sport less than 1 million views.
  • JasonParadise did a Guitar Hero riff of Mine Diamonds, where he felt very uncomfortable having to listen to the song.
  • Sh*ttyflute created a Sh*ttyfluted version of Take on me (Which is basically a Sh*ttyfluted version of Mine Diamonds)
  • Michael Reeves walked out to Mine Diamonds as part of his fight at the Creator Clash.

[Intro]
"Alright guys, *cough* I'm doing 'Take On Me' now, alright. I, I really, I really like this song, it sounds good."

[Verse 1]

Minin' away
I don't know, what to mine
I'll mine this anyway
In this Minecraft day, so beautiful
Mine further down
What's that I found?

[Chorus]

Mine diamonds (Take on me)
Mine diamonds (Take on me)
I'll mine them
So far I've got two!

[Verse 2]

So easy to mine
With my Minecraft pickaxe and shovels
Hopefully they stay
In my Minecraft chests
So I'm gonna make
A lock on it

[Chorus]

Mine diamonds (Take on me)
Mine DIAMONDS! (Take on me)
I'll mine them!
So far I've got two!

[Bridge]

"Ah *cough*, *sniff*, *cough*, *cough*, *cough*, *cough*, *cough*, *sniff*, *cough* I'm alright, I'm ready!"

[Verse 3]

All these diamonds
Sittin' carefully lay
I'm getting worried ("Oy, STOP!") or ("SHUT UP")
If they might get stolen From my ender chest
Wait, who is that?
Holy sheep, it's Notch!

[Chorus]

Mine diamonds (Take on me)
Mine diamonds (Take on me)
Now they're safe
Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Now... Now that they're safe
Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Mine diamonds, *HEAVY breathin* (Take on me)
Mine diamonds (Take on me)

[Outro]

"Uh, thanks, thanks for listening guys and thanks for recommending this song."
