Kids choir performs "Still Alive"

Virulent Portal meme spreads to elementary schools

Words: Joe_McNeilly on March 29, 2010

Portal is a lean, mean meme machine whose viral strands keep mutating into new antibiotic-resistant forms. The latest bit of recombinant Portal DNA is this video of a childrens' choir performing "Still Alive," which you may remember as the song that played over the closing credits of the game. Finally The Cake can stand proudly alongside The Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus and Noam Chomsky in the pantheon of fictional entities we foist onto our children.

@TheComedian823 From Valve? Still Alive is legitimately one of my favourite songs in the world. Portal was just genius. I played it two years late, and was on the internet in the meantime, so I had Still Alive and the cake and so on spoiled for me by all all the people saying the memes, but I still loved every second.

@TheHolyHandGrenade I bet they are. I know I would be if I heard that and I had absolutely no clue what the hell Portal was. This was actually very good in my opinion

If my elementary school music teacher had been this rad, I might have actually stuck with it.
