HL2 soundtrack feat. Franz Ferdinand.
From the guy that brought you the true face of Alyx's mother (It was the actress that did Alyx's voice) and where they got the voice for the combine dispatcher and general City 17 announcer (It was the dispatcher on "Mad Max"); now comes "WTF???? Franz Ferdinand in HL2??"

That's right. Franz Ferdinand's song "Auf Achse" is prominently featured in HL2. If you walk up to any NPC resistance member and talk to them enough; they will eventually say "I can't get this tune out of my head." and then whistle the intro to "Auf Achse".

I normally only post when I have something unique to say, I hope I was the first to notice this.

Most all of us knew they said that, but this is the first time somebody has recognized the tune. I'll check this out myself at somepoint.

So THAT'S the song.
I don't recognize the name, but I swear I've heard the song before.
Anyone know where I can hear it?
