This is so much better than Portal 2 ending song *sigh* Valve really dropped the ball with that one, though I suppose that after one has written Still Alive, it's all downhill from there.

Good job. Terrible accent, though. But it didn't detract from the song too much.
I thought the accent was actually pretty good. Hell, he actually sounded like a real Englishman.

All the positive feedback on the accent has been from British people - in my eyes that's a good thing!

Credit due where it's deserved! I suppose everyone else is just upset that you didn't put on your best Prince Charles accent.

This is catchy. The accent was quite good, it actually sounded just like a slightly lower version of Whitley's.

I really want all these songs in an album, a la Brentalfloss. Wouldn't that be awesome :p

What accent?
If we're talking a British one, it was done pretty well, I'm British and couldn't tell if it was put on, only noticed 'cos people have said on here that there was some accent or other. Ta for not attempting the Merchant's accent though, I also happen to be from the West Country and... a bad version of our accent is more painful than the normal version.
Apparently, I can do a good West Country accent; coming from London, that's not bad. But you're right about getting it wrong; most of my friends who try one end up sounding like bloody pirates!

Very catchy song, I can see it'll be lodged in my head for a while. And it's nice to see some Wheatley love, he's my favourite in Portal 2.

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.
Limited does not equal none or non-existent so it would not be 0, possibly 0 point something but not nothing, now the real question is in what measurement is he speaking of? Is he saying his IQ is as high as the distance between the Moon and the Earth in Meters, Kilometers, Miles, Inches or what other measurement?

This song had some really catchy parts. I had it on repeat while I wrote my final philosophy essay of the semester, as background noise. The sentiment may have been particularly appropriate, eh?

Regardless, great song. Showed it to many of my non-escapist friends, who also enjoyed it. Keep up the good work!

Having finished Portal 2's single player campaign, I found myself thinking "Wheatley, you liar", the whole time I was listening to this.

Oh, it's catchy, but I still think "Mining All Day Long" is catchier.

hes IQ is the amount of "infinite" space from here to the moon.
and since the amount of "infinite" space from here to the moon is 0 (because the amount of space is finite and not infinite) hes IQ is 0.
if it was simply the amount of space from here to the moon. you would be correct.
