Being that Portal is a runaway hit, it's only appropriate that it gets it's own song featured in... Rock Band. Surely by now you've finished the puzzle-FPS to be treated to one of the most memorable endings in a video game as of late (and if you haven't go out and pickup The Orange Box). What better way to treat gamers than to play the game's "Still Alive" track on Rock Band? Word comes following a Valve GDC party. Jonathan Coulton took the stage to unveil the news.

Here's the announcement, as described by Harmonix's hmxsean's Rock Band blog:

"At around 10:00pm Jonathan took the stage. A bunch of us crowded up front, because we frankly have a bit of a man crush on him, and watched him run through his setlist. Right towards the end he announced he had only one left... "I'd like to invite a couple of my friends up here to help me with my last song."

That is when we jumped on-stage and pulled out our Rock Band equipment piece by piece. Dan Teasdale (one of our senior designers) started picking a three person band with Jonathan and Alex Rigopulos (co-founder of Harmonix and head honcho). When they got to the song list they scrolled through an almost infinite amount of DLC until eventually they stopped on one-

"Still Alive" by GLaDOS

ALERT- THIS WAS A SPECIAL PREVIEW OF THIS SONG. IT WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE AS DLC AT A FUTURE DATE. WHEN I KNOW WHEN I'LL LET YOU KNOW. I NOW RETURN YOU TO THE NARRATIVE."

That was the announcement and we should be seeing more soon, on the Xbox Live Marketplace or on the Playstation Network! Pretty funny that someone tried to rush the stage to snag the song via a memory card. Only at a gamer's rock show...
