Another Awesome Portal 2 Song I Can’t Listen To
Yesterday, it was an a capella cover of the Turret Opera. Today, it’s a cover of the Jonathan Coulton-penned ending song “Want You Gone.” I can’t listen to either because I haven’t finished the game. I apologize for posting yet another Portal 2-related article on TR, but 1) this cover is actually done my Laura Shigihara, who composed the intensely adorable “Plants Vs. Zombies” theme, so I thought it was worth mentioning, and 2) it was either this, or another My Little Pony video (this time, mashed-up with Terminator 2. Twilight wears sunglasses!). I figured I’d get less grief for this. Thanks to Jeff H. for the tip. (Via Kotaku)
