I could not help by feel a sense of overwhelming satisfaction. It was seriously hard to state. This kind of publicity can only be good. I mean, who else thinks that this song is a classic in gaming? I doubt that anyone within the choir is actually old enough, or (gaming) experienced enough to have played or even understood Portal, but either way; they should feel mighty proud of themselves in having participated. I might have jumped at a chance to join a choir just to sing that song, and I hate singing. Anyway, I just had to join in the the video halfway through.

Here's the coolest thing you're going to see all day: An elementary school choir singing "Still Alive," the hugely popular closing song from Valve's hit puzzle game Portal.

"Hugely popular" is relative, of course, but few songs are better known to gamers than Jonathan Coulton's "Still Alive," the funny, poignant track that accompanied the Portal closing credits. And while the original rendition is just about flawless, Gifford Children's Choir Director Jack Senzig came up with what might be an even cooler way to present it: Having it sung by dozens of young children.
