It would take a very, very cold-hearted or over-protective parent for faulting any choir who has kids sing this song, despite the somewhat iffy lyrics at points.
I like how they kind of waver when they get to the part "even though you broke my heart and killed me" because they realize its really weird. None of them probably have even heard of the game unless their teacher told it to them or something, so it would be really akward.
I like how the parents laugh when they sing "Maybe you'll find someone to help you like Black Mesa haha fat chance" and they don't even know why its funny.. lol
Just gotta say, I walked into my science class the other day and my teacher was jamming out this song. I was the only person in the entire class who knew what it was. So while we were taking a quiz, I was jamming out. :D
Thats it. Im gonna invent timtravel so i can go back in time to when i was in 3rd grade, move to that country and city, then enroll at that school and join that choir! :D
Any chance of Cara Mia Addio? It would fit really well with your current setup, I WILL send your school cake. So long as UK to US shipping rules permit me.
I wish this person was my choir teacher. Carols are on the edge of acceptablity for some , because they are anti jewish. I wonder what this is against.
i luv the song and the way they sang it.....and im a fan of Portal...but these kids r singing a bad song......not bad lik i hate this song but bad lik kids shouldnt b singing this song 1-6or 7........but i lik the song believe me....
So many of these comments focus on the music - with good reason, it's a good upper-voices setting of the song - but I also appreciated the choreographed lighting. Would I be right in assuming that the ones lit up at any point were those singing at the time?
Oh my goodness. I am so happy that you have introduced these kids to awesome music. It makes me want to CRY!!! Me and all my class would sing this whenever we went on field trips on buses, and we sang it everywhere because me and my friends taught them it. Wow, you truly are the coolest choir teacher ever. Keep up the amazing work!
This is so. Freaking. Awesome. I smiled through the whole thing like i had just had the most delicious cake on earth. These kids are amazing; I wanted to get up and applaud them and give them a hug (and some cake, of course).
@katnjim It is. Scala covered Creep by Radiohead for the Social Network movie. My kids covered No Surprises a few years ago and I would like to have them do a couple other Radiohead tunes.
By these kids age, their parents PROBABLY (if they're still young, which I assume they are) have played the first Half Life game, back in the 90s. So this song, with its references to black mesa, science and fun, might have just touched them as much as it has touched portal players. :)
It would take a very, very cold-hearted or over-protective parent for faulting any choir who has kids sing this song, despite the somewhat iffy lyrics at points.
I would be proud to have a kid on that choir.XD
