WHEATLEY'S SONG (PORTAL 2) by Miracle Of Sound

A musical tribute to Wheatley from Portal 2

[Amalgemotion]

Haven't thought of this song since high school - halfway through a PhD now, but I was having a hard time understanding a paper this afternoon and, while trying to convince myself I wasn't an utter buffoon, I found myself humming the chorus and trying to remember where the heck it was from. This song was the theme of my formative years. Thank you.

I've heard this loads of times, and I only just noticed: "I've studied Aristotle, _Gabe_ and Plato". Nicely done, Miracle of Sound.

The lyrics are

'There is no conundrum that my core cannot COMPUTE' - it's 'compute' not 'confuse'. That may be why it's confusing you :)

[SpikedYum]

You can't hate Wheatley.  You just can't.  He's adorable.

[Scikid]

I like to think Wheatley is subconsciously the most brilliant and intelligent chessmaster in existence...Which is exactly why he IS so perfect at being unintelligent and failing. His mind knows exactly what the best thing to do is at all times, so he does the absolute worst things he can in the perfect way. Even as the facility admin, he's making a horrible choice in not giving control back to GLaDOS, and he's doing it in the best way possible. He's the world's number one expert on being a moron.

I loved this song since 2011 and coming back to it in 2021.
I still absolutely love it. Its sums up the character so well and it makes me want to play Portal 2 again.

It would be in Portal 2 because the moon is part of the skybox. You could move toward it forever and never get any closer to it.

[allyenderman]

six years later and this is still the best and catchiest Portal fansong I have ever heard! even Wish I Had A Portal Gun comes second to this one!

[jonathanrobinson]

Sir, I just wanted to tell you that I am SUCH a fan of your work.

[EQekTO]

everything about this song is nostalgic, and its a banger.

[bananaquit]

This song has honestly only gotten more iconic with time for me. Still holds up great. The lyrics, harmonies, music, everything about it is still just as fun and clever as it was when I first heard it so long ago!

[WolfkinNorthclaw]

"Not only is he a moron he's the result of the greatest minds of an age, to make the biggest moron that ever lived! And you put him in charge of the facility." *Clap souds* - GLaDOS to Chell on Wheatley

[walfalcon]

Put a portal between you and the moon. Put a portal on a wall opposite the other portal. Draw a straight line between you and the moon. Measure that line. Now ignore all that and get a joke.

[THEHOLYDEMON]

it's been 3 years and I am still in love with this song.

[stalkr]

This song is full of t-shirt worthy quotes. I mean, FULL OF THEM.

[Darkstar]

I replayed Portal 2 on Switch this weekend. Hard to believe that it's been a decade already since I first played it.

This song was what made me want to play it.

[kimsonrobinson]

My IQ is the infinite space of here to the moon.
So its a bunch of hot air and a endless vacuum... OH, WAIT!!! Don't forget about the unending plethora amount of dark matter. GENIUS!!!

[HannahBanina]

Is anyone else pretty much no longer capable of hearing/reading/using the word "moron" without thinking of our favorite Intelligence Dampener?

[emilywright]

I have never loved Spotify so much. I got bored and started going through my recommendeds.

This is now my favourite song, well, besides your love by the outlands, but nothing's changing that!

[metalfan]

I just want to tell you that this song is so catchy that I can't stop listening to it.
