    This was a triumph
    I'm making a note here; "Huge success"
    It's hard to overstate
    My satisfaction
    Aperture Science:
    We do what we must
    Because we can
    For the good of all of us
    Except the ones who are dead
    But there's no sense crying
    Over every mistake
    You just keep on trying
    Till you run out of cake
    And the science gets done
    And you make a neat gun
    For the people who are
    Still alive
    I'm not even angry
    I'm being so sincere right now
    Even though you broke my heart,
    And killed me
    And tore me to pieces
    And threw every piece into a fire
    As they burned it hurt because
    I was so happy for you
    Now, these points of data
    Make a beautiful line
    And we're out of beta
    We're releasing on time
    So I'm GLaD I got burned
    Think of all the things we learned-
    For the people who are
    Still alive

      to help you
      Maybe Black Mesa
      That was a joke. Haha. Fat chance
      Anyway, this cake is great
      It's so delicious and moist
      Look at me still talking
      when there's science to do
      When I look out there
      it makes me GLaD I'm not you
      I've experiments to run
      There is research to be done
      On the people who are
      Still alive
      And believe me I am Still alive
      I'm doing science and I'm Still alive
      I feel fantastic and I'm Still alive
      While you're dying I'll be Still alive
      And when you're dead I will be Still alive
      Still alive
      Still alive

      Every song has a finite number of notes and a finite length. So every song fills your condition after it's looped through enough connected iterations. And very easy to write one - although it wouldn't be what most people call a "song" or "music". Finding the shortest song which still sounds good would be the tricky problem.

    I think "Cara Mia Addio" would be a more suitable song for this application? Since the ending scene for portal 2 uses turrets to produce the song by moving their "arms" (which is basically the same idea) :D.

    Honestly, I'd love to see basic 707/808/909/whatever drum sounds on stepper motors.
