Webcomic artist and filker Rob Balder has written an anthem for NetHack the ur-Diablo dungeon crawler as old as the goblin-pocked hills.
Released under a Creative Commons license, the song is slightly droney, but has some of the same charm as Jonathon Coulton and other geek artists.
It is a parody of "Pepper" by the Butthole Surfers, a fatalistic ditty about young people meeting tragic ends. It reminded me of my endless dying in NetHack, a game which never runs out of cruel twists of fate.
Perhaps the Robot Finds Kitten song is next?
