The song, translated to [[English language|English]] from [[Swedish language|Swedish]] as "We're sitting in Ventrilo and playing DotA", is about Basshunter and his friends, using the voice communication application [[Ventrilo]] while they are playing [[Defense of the Ancients|DotA]], which is a custom map for [[Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos|Warcraft 3]]. It's a [[eurodance]] song, somewhat similar to [[Daddy DJ]]'s song "Daddy DJ" or "[[Scatman John|Scatman]]".
