and yet again........

'Still Alive' by Jonathan Coulton
he made the original

The closing credits song, "Still Alive", was written by Jonathan Coulton and sung by Ellen McLain as the GLaDOS character. Wolpaw notes that Coulton was invited to Valve a year before the release of Portal as the team knew they wanted to involve Coulton in some fashion; "Once Kim [Swift] and I met with him, it quickly became apparent that he had the perfect sensibility to write a song for GLaDOS."[25][18] The song was released as a free downloadable song for the music video game Rock Band on March 31, 2008; humorously, the game lists GlaDOS, not Ellen McLain, as the singer.[33][34][35] The soundtrack for Portal was released as a part of The Orange Box Original Soundtrack[36] and includes both GLaDOS' in-game rendition and Coulton's vocal mix of "Still Alive".
