Basshunter - New Version of Dota: All I Ever Wanted

The original Swedish language song has been replaced by a new English version. The original song was about playing Defence of the Ancients. It has been replaced by a song with new lyrics that don’t quite fit the music:

Was to see you smiling
I know that I love you
oh baby why don’t you see

All I ever wanted
Was to see you smiling
All I ever wanted
Was to make you mine
I know that I love you
oh baby why don’t you see
That all I ever wanted
Was you and me

All I ever wanted
Was to see you smiling
All I ever wanted
Was to make you mine
I know that I love you
oh baby why don’t you see
That all I ever wanted
Was you and me

[ drum 'n' bass ]

I’m so alone
Here on my own
and I’m waiting for you to come
I want to be
a part of you
Think of all things we could do

and everyday, you’re in my head
I want to have you in my bed
you are the one, you’re in my eyes
All I ever wanted in my life

[ x2 ]

All I ever wanted
Was to see you smiling
All I ever wanted
Was to make you mine
I know that I love you
oh baby why don’t you see
That all I ever wanted
Was you and me

Are you ready ?

[ drum 'n' bass ]

All I ever wanted
Was to see you smilling
All I ever wanted was to make you mine
I know that I love you
oh baby why don’t you see
That all I ever wanted was you and me

You’re all I ever wanted

BasshunterWhoever put two syllables in “to”? I think they must have kidnapped the songwriter from the Vengaboys and given him a new job. You have to give Basshunter credit for making it rhyme but I’m afraid his curtain hairstyle no longer looks cool in a normal club. And I also miss the little bits in between that “I hear you man” and “Don’t worry, be happy”. Bring back the Swedish version I say. What do you think:

Which is the better Basshunter song?

  1. Personally, I think all i ever wanted has completely killed the original. No one will hear about DotA until the basshunter album, but even then they wont appreciate it. They will have been brainwashed into thinking all i ever wanted was the true, original and better song. Basshunter needs to stop re-doing his old songs in english and start making some good quality swedish ones. Bring back the old bassunter!!!

  2. We don’t need your name! Just a lot of people like to leave them when making comments…

    I actually happen to agree with you - I was disappointed when I heard Dota slightly ruined (by the English changes) on the radio the other day - which kicked off a spiral of events that eventually culminated in the above post, as I forced people to compare the two, and Linda decided to check public opinion on my very personal gripe.

  3. However, from our unscientific poll of 4 people, it would seem opinion is divided 50-50… Get voting! Get your friends voting too.

  4. Yes i think this is just an attempt to get on the map.

  5. Where I am(Toronto) we’re always playing the original DOTA over the best radio station on this planet! Z 103.5!
