We've been spending so much quality time with this zone, that I felt inspired to write a tribute to it's many virtues, distinctive architecture, and unique mobs. So, here is my humble effort, though it does not come close to conveying the full sense of that which is Vex Thal. 

An Ode to Vex Thal 
(to the tune of Livin' La Vida Loca, by Ricky Martin) 

We're into camping key parts; Planes rifts and Lucid shards. 
The rooms all look the same but, we ain't there to look at art. 
We're into new loot tables, new raids and killer crawls. 
We've got a new addiction and the zone is called Vex Thal. 

We'll learn to speak Akhevan just to call the mobs by name. 
If we place a mage for CoH then we'll save a lot of pain. 
We've got Vex Thal on the brain. Come on! 

Zun Thall, Qua Va Dyn, we're killin' a Pli Va Liako 
Diabo Xi Xin Thall, killin' a Pli Va Liako 
A Thall means it's a priest and a knight is a Liako 
The monks will pull them all, killin' a Pli Va Liako 
Killin' a Pli Va Liako, come on! 
We're killin' a Pli Va Liako. 

Mez the Quas, and mez the Zovs now, split the rest of the 10-mob pull. 
AE Stuns and AE GFlux, bouncing around's gonna make me ill. 
Always watch for backpops, quickly move the raid ahead. 
You'd better camp a cleric if the chanters all are dead, 
Cause that gating mob has fled! 

Kaas Thox Xi Ans Dyek, we're killin' a Pli Va Liako 
But he's just called Blob1, killin' a Pli Va Liako 
Senshalis all are rogues and a master is Diabo 
Qua Zethon, Zov Thall, killin' a Pli Va Liako 
Killin' a Pli Va Liako, come on! 
We're killin' a Pli Va Liako. 

We'll learn to speak Akhevan just to call the mobs by name. 
If we place a mage for CoH then we'll save a lot of pain. 
We've got Vex Thal on the brain. Come on! 

Aten Ha Ra's the queen, we're killin' a Pli Va Liako 
Robes, 4-arms and blobs, killin' a Pli Va Liako 
It's an endless crawl, no time to grab a taco 
We will burn them all, killin' a Pli Va Liako 

Eom Thall, Qua Centien, we're killin' a Pli Va Liako 
Qua Va Liako Xakra, killin' a Pli Va Liako 
Va Xi Aten Ha Ra, Thall Xundraux Diabo 
These names will fill your brain, killin' a Pli Va Liako 
Killin' a Pli Va Liako, come on! 
We're killin' a Pli Va Liako.

I'm not sure what is funnier.  This wonderful send up of Menudoman or the visual I have of Zin at the computer listening to Ricky Martin writing this.... <A href="http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=1166460">Piamiles Silvershield</A> <A href="http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=1191718">Jumjum Mojotroll</A> <A href="http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=1271205">Neehie Lowerboom</A>

Great Job Socs!!  It's really funny and yes, I did listen to the
song and read the lyrics to your song. La Vida Loca so fits some of
those pulls where there are 10 mobs, you have to switch targets, and
try not to get killed!  Simply fabulous!!

Thanks =) 
As to where to find the song, search iTunes for "La Vida Loca", and I used the 4:05 minute English version as the basis for my song. Here are the <a href="http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/rickymartin/livinlavidaloca.html">lyrics</a>. Great tune, and yes, I did listen to it over and over while writing this. Some of the names are awkward, but I wanted to fit in a variety of them, so kept changing the chorus rather than repeating it. I did also post to EQMac, I was just in a rush to go pick up the kids from school when I posted here, so had to take off before I could post to EQMac. <a href="http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=1187528">Socratus Wittgenstein</a> - Dwarf Archon

Now that we're back in VT and have some new folks along with us, I thought I'd shamelessly bump my post. Well, I do feel a *little* shame, but I won't let it stop me.<img src="/forums/images/gpicons/face_grin.gif"> <a href="http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=1187528">Socratus Wittgenstein</a> - Dwarf Archon
