Still Alive




The song Still Alive was written by Jonathan Coulton.  It is unusual for a video game to end in a song, this maybe why it became such a hit among the gaming community.  The song itself was also remixed for the game to play on the radio in the chamber when you first wake up.   Still Alive was featured in rock band and also audiosurf.  The song was performed by Ellen McLain.  Ellen was the voice of GLaDOS throughout the game.  She is a trained opera singer and was not sure if she would have the right style of singing for the song, but after she heard it she loved it.  People have played this song in any game or anything that has a way to play sounds in games.  There have been elementary schools that have sung this song at their shows.  If you can imagine it I am sure it has been done.
