Yesterday marked the debut of a long-awaited music video from Felicia Day and the cast of her Web-based sitcom about MMO geeks, The Guild. Almost immediately "Do You Wanna Date My Avatar" hit the Number 1 spot on iTunes and Amazon.

The video is a collaboration between Day and Jed Whedon, half-brother of Buffy maestro Joss and co-creator of "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog". Day wrote the lyrics, while Whedon built the song and directed the short, a parody of insipid 90s dance music videos.

As far as game-geek tracks go, "Date My Avatar" fels a bit flat and bland — not quite geeky enough for my taste and references to "The Guild" are thin and superficial — but it's certainly catchy and there's no doubt that Day is a winsome cosplayer.

If you're into it, Digital City has an interview with Whedon and company.
