"Vi sitter i Ventrilo och spelar DotA"
Song

"Vi sitter här i Venten och spelar lite DotA" (English "We're sitting here in Ventrilo, playing some DotA" and in some countries shortened to "DotA") is a song by Swedish dance DJ Basshunter which samples in a remixed version the French song "Daddy DJ" by Daddy DJ. The lyrics, in Swedish, are about using the voice chat program Ventrilo while playing the Warcraft III Custom Map Defense of the Ancients. The song incorporates samples from the game. It was released as the second single from Basshunter's first album LOL <(^^,)>.

Music video

The video starts out with Basshunter's mother (portrayed by his actual mother) opening a door where it reveals that he and his friends are playing DotA. She tells him that he's playing too much DotA when he starts singing. The video continues showing him playing DotA and later singing at a gamehall live. The clip was not shot during DreamHack, as many believe, but during a similar event called The Gathering, one of the world's largest LAN party events. One of the listeners holds a sign saying "Vadå båt?" (Whaddaya mean boat?) - referring to some listeners' initial confusion of the Swedish lyrics in Boten Anna, mistaking the word "boten" (the bot) for "båten" (the boat). This could explain the wrong translation in the German version of Boten Anna where "Boot" (boat) is sung instead of "Bot" (bot). Another approach is that the person holding the sign is German and wanted to point out the mistake, so Basshunter simply recorded this as a kind of self-parody.

The new video starts with him sitting in a chair, then flipping up a screen on his chair, then selects a video from a little menu floating in the air. Then the videos from there shows more people playing DotA, and several shots of a young woman dancing. He can also be seen playing as the hero Tiny, where he purchases an item, Butterfly. The tune to the new video is actually DotA [Radio remix].
