During the pandemic, The 8-Bit Big Band hasn't slowed down. Following on from Still Alive, they've brought back Benny Benack III and the gang for a swing version of Portal 2's Want You Gone.

I blinked a little bit at the concept but no, that is in fact the most obvious and fitting musical genre swap for those songs.

"Still Alive" is a great song and this is a fantastic rendition.

Not sure if there's a Previously, but just wanted to make sure everyone is aware of the 8-Bit Big Band's incredible version of Super Mario Bros.
