Mar 29 2010Good Job, Kids: A Children's Choir Singing 'Still Alive' (The Portal Ending Credits Song)

I danced, as shitty as the quality of that was

I love that song
I started playing the game just because of this song :P

That was so beautiful I could cry >.> <.<

Uhhh... OK.....

Awesome. If only the video quality wasn't craptastic. :/ Oh well...what can you do? I wonder how many people in the audience got the joke, though. Most of them were probably all "Why the hell is it dark? I don't get it...".

I have no idea what this is or what it's from but this music sucked d!ck.

Sincerely,

Pissed Off

@6 welcome to earth, try immersing yourself in its culture.

i'm with #2! off to play.

Why isn't this tagged with "Kill it with Fire"? This is proof that the robots have invaded our youth and are already in the process of converting them.

In other news, @6, try reading the article. It's quite insightful as to what the video is and where the music is from.

I WENT TO THAT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! It's down the street from me, I can't believe it!! If only it were that cool when I went there!

its so cute...

It was good. But the end credits said the soloist was a third grader. Come on get a name and give the credits that are earned. Every one else got credit.

765-967-2505 Text me Babes!

Those aren't children... THOSE ARE TINY, MAN EATING, ROBOTS!!

Iff one of those kids were my children, i think i would actually be proud. :')

This video kind of makes me want to have 30 or so children, just so I can teach them this song and make them sing it A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN THESE KIDS!!!!

they were good though. made me go =D

Stupid parents, stop taking pictures!

@12 Hope you liked that rickroll.

Must have a nerdy choir teacher.

Also @12 I'll call you later sexy

Awesome! Though I bet there were a lot of confused parents and grandparents in that audience.

@19 Well played, Bizarro Me.

It starts out "This WAS a triumph." Not "IS." Choir fail.

@6 you know there are places mentally deranged people can go to get help right?

Although I should point out that, the initial slip-up ignored, this music had me singing along and makes me want to go play Portal, like, right now.

@6, I can't believe you've never heard of Portal. You should be royally ashamed with yourself. I agree with 23.

So the parents are cool with their kids singing about chopping up into little pieces and throwing them into a fire? Sucked balls

Portal was cool, the Still Alive song was cool, but a choir of school kids singing the Still Alive song ain't my bag, baby. How many of those kids even know what the hell it is they're singing about?

Um yeah, this is way too dark for garden variety simpletons. Or kids, for that matter.

It's hilarious to us, because we are nerds, and the deaths of the volunteers are all calculated ahead of time. For anyone else...yikes. Faux pas.

I love the credits...

"Soloist - A Third Grader"

That was awesome.

For at least one day all of those kids' parents didn't regret having them.

People who don't know what this song is from would have been listening to the lyrics thinking "what the FUCK is this song about?"

@Splatter

That's sad, really sad.

You should be ashamed.

Why didnt they offer me to be in that dress!?!?! >_<

Even though my junk would have been hanging out from the bottom but still, equalizer and sound-amplifying lights, i want!

how long do you think it took the kids to realize the cake was a lie

that was cute. i'm wondering how many of the parents were dumbfounded by the lyrics. i also, rock out to that song on rock band.

I can't believe they let kids sing about science killing people for the good of humanity. I am so upset right now I feel like I should protest something.

just kidding song was awesome

Haha that's awesome i live in racine, now i can actually be proud of where i'm from.

Wow, #6 gets pissed off real easy. #4 just seems to be one of those people who stay confused. I love portal and I can't wait for fucking portal 2, as for those who are still scratching their head/balls wondering what that is, or what this song is from. Seriously need to take a look at why they are on geekology.

omg someone at that school really likes portal, and the funny thing is that most of the kids and parents probably don't know where the song came from, but i do. WOOO DIE HARD VALVE FAN

Impressive.

Now do raining blood.

That is beyond badass. Hi fellow wisconsonites who play portal.

Ive never been prouder of americas youth *sniffle* i think im gonna cry

@40

Hello to you too, *SUBJECT NAME HERE*

I started playing Portal again today just because I had the song stuck in my head and was awesomely surprised to see this post on my beloved Geekologie... thanks GW!

oh, and hello from a *SUBJECT HOMETOWN HERE* Portal player

too freakin' cute >.<

kudos on all of them

That was beautiful....

*sheds tear

wtf...? this is just a non sequitor for these performers and for the audience.... who the heck present here knows wtf this is about?!

just really bizarre....

Yeh... They couldn't sing that well, but it was AWESOME that they tried.

Memories rushing back of the first time i clocked portal. : )

@6

Seriously, why are you even here if you don't know what this song is. I'm only a casual geek and I played this game for like a month straight. Non-stop. In my underwear. Eating is for pansies. So is work.

Well done #6 for trolling everyone else below you who jumped at the chance to act undignified and attempt to make you ashamed that you didn't know what portal was. For everyone else...SHAME ON YOU! Seriously! Shame on you for allowing #6 to troll you as well as he did.

Awesome. errrrrr.....grmmm. I enjoyed it. Makes me want to go play the game again. yarrrrr

How do these kids know this song? I don't think any of them could get to the closing credits of Portal. It doesn't make sense.

Well i Guess it Didnt totally liek lick my ballz

These kids are amazing!
The song is one of my many favourites and they just made it my number one fave!
well done kids!
