Still Annoyed - The Bowser Song
In the Fall of 2007, the game "Portal" by Valve exploded all over the Great Interbutt. One of the best features of the game is "Still Alive," the original Jonathan Coulton song you get to hear as a reward for winning. Sung from the point of view of GLaDOS, the game's passive-aggressive AI character, it has become a huge 'net hit. Screengrabs of the game's ending and song can be found on YouTube. At the risk of becoming The Guy Who Parodies JoCo, Rob Balder asks the musical question: "Why should GLaDOS be the only end boss who gets a song?"

I've been waiting to hear the final version since you first told me about the idea. I was very pleased with the result. You rock muchly!

Good show, Rob. The ending's kind of wierd and sudden, but I love the refference to "Doctor Mario" and "MarioKart". I miss them so.....ahhh. Some superb baritone singing as well.

I think this may be a new favorite Rob Balder song.

I'm sorry Rob, your FuMP is in another castle. ;P

I may have gotten a bad download, the song plays about 25% too slow (Rob with a deep voice). I had to speed it up to hear Rob sound right.

so, will this start a trend of people parodying Still Alvie about different villains? Either way, great song.

The Positive Attitude song was a scheduling snafu that I didn't catch because I was out at a gig last night. That song is slated for early January.

I disagree, Shoebox--the winning line, in my opinion, is "Your quest is so right you can't go left." Hee!

Weird...the RSS feed says today's FuMP is "This Oughta Cheer You Up" by Positude. That's ok though, 2 great FuMPs in one day! Love it! :)
Btw Rob, remember you're not the only one who's posted JoCo parodies. ;)

"Setting wildlife on fire" plus the Mario Tennis / Dr. Mario / Mario Kart nods make this totally friggin' win, dammit. -=ShoEboX=-

wildcard, I think it's supposed to be deep so he sounds like Bowser...but I could be wrong.

You should get this linked from vgcats.com. Might generate some traffic.

HAHAHAHAHA! GOOD SHIT! MArio is all kinds of perfect!

Multiple bits of pure comedy gold!! Nice song Mr. Balder ^_^

The line about mushrooms cracks me up. You definitely made it to the bonus round with this one Rob.
seamonkey - Dec 20, 2007
Yeah, I'm definitely with the Professor on that one... I was laughing at the mushroom line and I think a few co-workers think I'M on 'shrooms. Eh, could be.
Nice job, sir!

Totally agree with the big B. Always hated that plumber ever since he stole Kong's GF.
