You can hear him say it on his iconic album Sinatra at the Sands. Such a great detail!

Definitely took a while for me to concoct this! But that bass line from the original swung kinda reminded me of the bass clarinet line from "I've Got You Under My Skin" Sinatra so once I had that idea it just took off from there

The animation though. It just shows so much character and humour. For example: Imagine a highly complex machine, with great intelligence and intellect who has great homicidal tendencies, was just so *done* with you that they made a whole musical number about how they gave up on trying to kill you and just want’s you somewhere not their problem.

I love the original but this version, with the strings and swing, knocked it out of the park :D Also I LOVE how the singer referenced the "How'd you get in my room?" from Sinatra at the Sands and the whole quip about Portal 3 was such a nice joke for Portal fans and of course, fits with the snarky stage persona of Frank Sinatra himself (but that test subject thing was so Glados.
