i just realized that when they were making portal 2 the unauthorized musical they were probably 100% putting a higher priority on cave johnson’s songs emphasizing his charisma rather than furthering the narrative. idk why that JUST clicked but damn all the songs they give him are parodies of musical numbers where the role in question must be charismatic above all else

#i mean cladwell is a bit of a stretch but that song is also more of a ‘the villain rocks song’ than ‘a villain song’ yk #the numbers cave performs himself are parodies of songs from fucking Harold The Music Man Hill and the fucking cabaret emcee #like ohhh ok i get your design philosophy now #sawyer speaking
