Miracle of Sound: Wheatley's Song (Portal 2)

[Xyless]

Man, if only you could get Valve to add this to their soundtrack, it would fit the game surprisingly well.

 

[historybuff]

Love this song! Definitely gonna go check out your other material.

 

[awesome_ninja]

the song is OK, but not as good as the previous ones... still keep it up! Great work

I'd like to give a shout out to Wheatley and agree that there is, indeed, an infinite space from here to the moon.

For example, if you went exactly 1/2 the distance from your house to the moon, stopped, then traveled exactly 1/2 the remaining distance, stopped, and repeated, you would never actually reach the moon. If the difference between 1.1 inches and 1.2 inches constitutes a space, then there are an infinite number of those spaces between any amount of distance.

That theoretical mathematics aside, awesome song. It wasn't until the comments section that I realized it wasn't actually Stephen Merchant singing the song, so good job on that.

I only recently discovered MoS, but I'm loving it so far, and this video certainly didn't disappoint!

 

[Latinidiot]

I only needed to watch the spoilerwarning and you saying 'ellew! And you had me in shambles laughing. I really want to play that game now, but I don't want to shell out 60 euros. hmm...

Well, I've got a lot to say about this video, most of it good. MoS did a great job with their video, a better job with their song, and also their Monty Python style spoiler warning(at least nobody got sacked over it).

Now, on the escapist side, this video was a pain to load. I couldn't get it to load at all in Flash HD, it loaded about a quarter of the song in HTML 5 HD. I finally loaded it in SD for flash five to watch it.

 

[TheThirdChild]

This song is just great! I want it on my MP3!

 

[vivster]

to be honest wheatley was about 90% of the reason why i got the game
i loved him so much in the trailers
after playing it i didn't like him so much anymore
i don't like stupid things ;(

 

[Wicky_42]

Good job. Terrible accent, though. But it didn't detract from the song too much.

I'm sorry you didn't dig the accent.

I did 2 versions - one with my own accent, and it just lost a lot of the humour and vibe of the song without the British-ness. So I asked around a few people who all loved the accent, so I kept it this way.

The accent in itself wasn't terrible - it wasn't much of an imitation, but it certainly added to the song!

Liked this tune a lot, very catchy and cute :3 Loving your tunes

If Wheatley's IQ is... well, you know... then GLaDOS's IQ is the space from here to the SUN.

weatlys IQ is the "infinite" space from here to the moon.
since the space from here to the moon is very much finite, hes IQ is actually 0.

 

[LandoCristo]

I love this one. I've got this sucker on repeat. Too bad the frickin spoiler warning in front gives me 30 seconds of silence each time it cycles.

 

[Boba Frag]

Loved the stack of spoiler warnings at the start.
Exactly my kind of humour!

I think this is in danger of tipping Commander Shepard as my favourite of your songs- this was fantastically catchy, clever and downright awesome.

If I didn't know you were Irish I would have believed you to be a real Brit with your accent change here- really hard to do while singing, too.

Loved it!

 

[Charli]

This was really good! Loved it. One day we will find Merchant and get him to sing a verse.

 

[Magnalian]

The spoiler warning was a bit too long..

 

[Someone Depressing]

I liked the part when he said "Hello!" at the start. Just something about it's so funny.

PS: Wheatley's accent made me lol a few good times. XD

 

[Danpascooch]

This one is my absolute favorite so far. Just so dang catchy and adorable!

Definitely the best so far, although the Minecraft one was close.

My only problem is that the chorus line "My IQ is the infinite space from here to the moon" makes no sense, but nobody else seems to notice so it must be that I'm misinterpreting it. Is the joke that Weatley doesn't know how IQ works?

 

[Danpascooch]

Wait.....why does everyone congratulate only Miracle of Sound when the music and lyrics were written by Gavin Dunne?

I mean, I like his singing as much as the next guy, but isn't the real artist the guy who wrote the thing?

(wait, never mind, MoS wrote the Minecraft one and some of the other by himself, so him and Gavin Dunne are both awesome)

 

[LostTimeLady]

Awww... what a great song! Very catchy and a lovely embodiment of an AI's personality.

This might just be my favourite MoS song so far.

"My IQ's the infinate space from here to the moon."

Love it!

(Also fantasticly funny spoiler warning at the start. Loved it).

(P.S. great accent! It wasn't too strong but it wasn't too soft and it added a nice little something it the song.)

Yep, that's the point. Wheatley thinks he is super-smart but he's not, as evidenced by calling a finite space 'infinite'.

They are, in fact, both the same person.
