Oh lord.
In truth I've never been a fan of the Rebecca Muses stuff... I've looked at the odd video here and there when the subject matter catches my attention, but for the most part her music always comes off as having been written by a class of sixth graders. I'm sure some people enjoy it and that is fine. Personally, I can take it or leave it.
This song really tries to take the piss out of Yahtzee but I can't help feel that this was more of an attempt to stir up viewership of her videos.. Let us all be honest.. a large part of this site owes it's success to the Zero Punctuation weekly, as I have a feeling that that is how many people found their way here. Love him or hate him, Yahtzee is definitely worth his weight in gold. In my opinion he is seldom actually right about a game as many games he has ripped on have been in my top favorites at their time so it is safe to say that I only watch Zero Punctuation purely for the entertainment value.
What I wonder is if it is a good idea, even in jest, to go attacking what is essentially a valued asset of the same site on which you essentially rely on for support? Not that he is likely to do so (and I personally think he won't even bother responding to this as Yahtzee doesn't seem the type to engage in petty little flame wars) but what if Yahtzee decided to break ties with Escapist.. where would the site and ultimately Rebecca herself be? I'm willing to bet good money that if people had a choice between Muses and Zero Punctuation, Muses would find itself out on its ear in a heartbeat.
Either way, I laugh when I see some of the comments about how they cant wait to see Yahtzee's response, like middle schoolers waiting for a fight to take place behind the school at 3 o clock. It smacks of immaturity to be frank and is about as silly as the sony/microsoft spats that crop up from time to time.
At any rate, that is my two cents on the matter.

I found this pic and I just had to show everyone! XD
This was pretty good, not great or particularly memorable but certainly not bad. I'm not a fan of miss mayes work at all and this has not changed my view, I enjoy some of the lyrics in her songs but the style of music itself isn't my thing. I can't help but agree with the people who say this feels like a ploy to boost her views as I haven't watched her videos since the Sims 3, and now i remember why.

It's the classic attention horse move...i bet half of those who clicked on it did so because she invoked the name of Yahtzee....i'm scared to watch another of her videos because they keep branding me with badges.
you take yourself a bit to seriously T_T
meh, song was okay.
I hate seing you singing it though at that one part, because it just seemed a little too needy.

That made Rebbecca look like a psychotic stalker-torn between unconditional affection and murderous rage, which is just my way of saying she is awesome!
Liked the song, I should check out the rest she has on this site...

That was a good way of going at Yahtzee's approach. No one likes him when he likes a game, so he will make up crap to hate about. You show hate to show how much you love him. Bt it still works.
