I have so little info in this but it was sort o popular on youtube maybe 4-6 yrs ago. It was a ‘song’ of a ‘enitity’ that was digitized (only on a computer). The video featured a old style computer screen typing out what the entity was saying. Something involved wanting to have or eat cake as a goal Please help me find it. ---

[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI)? ETA, even if that’s not it, it was kind of a neat little song, I’ve never heard it before. [Here’s](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Still_Alive) the wiki page for it (which also links to the singer). Looks like it was in Rock Band as well. ---

If you look around you can find the original singer doing it at various cons and [fests](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmNlihNSJOY). The writer still plays it live as well and they both make for very happy crowds when they start singing it. ---

I’m so happy to see this song achieve some semblance of mainstream acknowledgment 🙂 ---

What a strange thread. You guys should play the video game [Portal](http://store.steampowered.com/app/400/). It’s very accessible for regular people who don’t play video games, it is fun and challenging, and it is really funny. The song in context is just that much better. ---

It’s very accessible for regular people who don’t play video games, it is fun and challenging, and it is really funny. The song in context is just that much better. Agreed. I’m a bit amazed people came across the song without knowing about the game. The song is good, the game is great. Very smart, lots of dark humor, one of the few FPS puzzle games I’ve actually loved.
