	Wheatley's Song (Portal 2) Don't call him a moron, he's super-astute. He's Wheatley, the chipper, English A.I. from Portal 2, and this is his song. Watch Video

	Love the song, and the accent, doesn't sound too bad!

	If he was still alive... This would have been Bin Laden's favorite MoS song, for sure. Good job. Terrible accent, though. But it didn't detract from the song too much.

	Love it, great work as always

	This one is my absolute favorite so far. Just so dang catchy and adorable!

	That may have been the most hilarious spoiler warning I have ever seen. Great job on the song.

	Nice. Though maybe i just have bad hearing, but i didn't really hear an accent. also, SPACE! Gotta go there. I think I enjoyed the past few songs you've made more, but this is still pretty neat and good!

	This would have been a better end song than "Want you Gone"!

HankMan	9 POSTED: 4 May 2011 16:18
	I'd like to see a potato write a song like that!

	I think I had a conversation with you about making a portal song... If that's the case: Called it! Cookie for me! If not this comment was pointless >.<

	I'm gonna miss Wheatley.

	The accent was alright, better then some others I've heard... Now to improve it I shall now beat you with a Corgi. It is the only way.

Lambi	13 POSTED: 4 May 2011 16:32
	That spoiler warning had a Wheatley feeling to it. X3 A damn good song, Miracle. Liked it a lot. ^^

Alfador_VII	14 POSTED: 4 May 2011 16:35
	Great song, and thanks for not trying to do a West Country accent. That would have been bloody painful done badly :) Also spoilers, yeah, but I've finished Portal 2, so no problem.

Da Joz	15 POSTED: 4 May 2011 16:37
	Awesome! The only complaint I have is that this is going to be stuck in my head for several days, why must it be so catchy!?

GeorgW	16 POSTED: 4 May 2011 16:38
	Well, I had already heard the preview,but was nice to watch the video as well. Also, the spoiler was really good, very Wheatley. I liked the song, the accent was a little iffy, but still quite good. Probably my favourite of yours (that's not saying much given how few there are, but still). That could be cuz I'm a huge Portal fanboy though. It's only right that Wheatley gets his own song, GLaDOS already has 2. You're not as good as Jonathan Coulton yet though, but I still really liked the song.

	"This test chamber is so simple i made it just for you" You finished it so quickly? Impressive, time for round 2"

	Nice nod to GabeN there. Nice work.

	I must say, that last song grabbed me within the first 0.1 seconds, while this one didn't even start until 45 seconds in. That said, I loved it. It was good on its own merits, plus it brought up some good memories.

	I LOVE YOU MIRACLE! So much... I think I shall put this on repeat some how. Lyrics = Awesome (In the real sense of the word. I am in Awe) Music = Catchy and Fun. Wheatley = Adorable. Singing = Pretty sooting. Overall, one of my favorite songs.. Just, in general.

MowDownJoe	21 POSTED: 4 May 2011 16:46
	Y'know... for an AI programmed to be a complete idiot, Wheatley was really smart. I mean, you don't get many final bosses in sequels who actually go over your tactics that killed the last big bad and build countermeasures to those tactics.

Sucal	22 POSTED: 4 May 2011 16:46
	Still not the fallout song. Pity

walsfeo	23 POSTED: 4 May 2011 16:48
	Meh, song did not engage me as much as previous videos.

A Curious Fellow	24 POSTED: 4 May 2011 16:53
	Jesus Miracle, THANK YOU for the spoiler warning. I'll check out the song and rave about it after I've played the game.

Sober Thal	25 POSTED: 4 May 2011 16:54
	Good one Miracle, I actually liked this, even tho I loath Wheatly... my only criticism is the over use of the line 'My IQ's the infinite space from here to the moon'. That seemed a bit repetitive.

MiracleOfSound	26 POSTED: 4 May 2011 16:56
	Onyx Oblivion: Good job. Terrible accent, though. But it didn't detract from the song too much. I'm sorry you didn't dig the accent. I did 2 versions - one with my own accent, and it just lost a lot of the humour and vibe of the song without the British-ness. So I asked around a few people who all loved the accent, so I kept it this way.

	If Wheatley's IQ is... well, you know... then GLaDOS's IQ is the space from here to the SUN.

SomeBritishDude	29 POSTED: 4 May 2011 17:00
	Nice! Shame it has to be compared to Portal 2's soundtrack...that's not a position I'd like to be in.

MiracleOfSound	30 POSTED: 4 May 2011 17:00
	Xman490: If Wheatley's IQ is... well, you know... then GLaDOS's IQ is the space from here to the SUN. The joke is that the space from here to the moon is in fact, not infinite... in otherwords, Wheatley is mistaken about his own IQ.

	You continue to impress Miracle. How do you get these done inside a week?

snappydog	32 POSTED: 4 May 2011 17:07
	What accent? If we're talking a British one, it was done pretty well, I'm British and couldn't tell if it was put on, only noticed 'cos people have said on here that there was some accent or other. Ta for not attempting the Merchant's accent though, I also happen to be from the West Country and... a bad version of our accent is more painful than the normal version.

TimeLord	33 POSTED: 4 May 2011 17:07
	Miracle you fool! If you keep creating epic music then your fans are gonna cause a riot if you ever stop! xD Loved the accent by the way.

So I asked around a few people who all loved the accent, so I kept it this way. Actually I thought you nailed that West Country accent pretty much, certainly in the chorus at any rate. It wasn't quite so noticable during the main verses, but then again I've noticed that accents don't usually translate all that well when people sing anyway. Great job, really enjoyed this one!

	Sooo, you really like doing happy songs, don't you? And this one sounds really familiar. The lyrics, still, are totally great.
