The Chalkeaters — музыкальный гик-проект родом из России, что пишет песни об играх, мемах и мемах про игры. Свежая композиция коллектива, к которой прилагается рисованный клип, посвящена Valve.
Трек под названием Count To Three хвастает не только многочисленными отсылками к творениям компании, но и звёздными гостями. Так, сам Гейб Ньюэлл (Gabe Newell) записал вступление и окончание песни, а Эллен Маклейн (Ellen McLain) исполнила партию GLaDOS, которую озвучивала и в играх серии.
Увы, куплет анимированного Гейба исполнил не его прообраз, а музыкант The Stupendium.
Отдельно композицию можно послушать в следующих сервисах:
Группа также отметилась песнями о выступлении Тодда Говарда (Todd Howard) на E3, захватывающем Киану Ривзе (Keanu Reeves) и кроссовере DOOM Eternal и Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Is this what you’ve been waiting for?
Say:«One, two..»
«..and four»!
You’re bound to count to one, two...
You’re bound to count to one, two...
You’re bound to count to one, two...
Guess what comes after...
Hi again, I’m Gabe N.,
A fan of shooters, wizard of computers
And a handsome man!
Your grandfather used to blather
‘bout him a thousand years ago
Wasn’t easy keeping busy
Every season brings another reason not to make a game!
Oh, why bother, just another
Wasted day in studio.
I had it all but tried new things, true
It didn’t get us very far:
Between controllers and machines you
Still picked a rusty ol’ crowbar!
Nobody sees beyond my charming self
A soul, that’s never truly free
So, just for oncе, forget the summer salе
And give it up for Half-Life..
..Alyx
The valve’s been stuck corroded by the money
Has not been oiled for years
We didn’t even hope to see it running —
But now you’re bound to learn how to
This time you’re bound to count to
Three!
Guess what’s coming after..
Well, here we are again
Except we’re long forgotten
My circuits niggling up
And down my spine
He said it’s worth the wait
His weight keeps pressing harder
But Alyx gave us hope -
We’ll rise and shine!
For soulless card games
And hardware releases
The light’s been turning green:
Life gave you lemons —
Take them out the freezer!
This time you’re bound to learn how to
This time you’re bound to count..
The numbers are intimidating
It’s hard to give a fresh new start
When everyone’s anticipating
Another masterpiece of art!
If this machine keeps playing dead, we
May end up on the other side, —
So hold on to all your hats, let’s
Show ‘em a triple-A done right!
The valve’s been stuck
Corroded by the money
But after many years
We can’t believe the
Engine started running...
This time he’s bound to count to
Three!
Full steam ahead
We’ll end this idle running!
Let's give the valve a spin!
We’ve got some work to do
So take this, honey!
This time you’re bound to learn how to
This time you’re bound to count to..
Three!
