'''"You Wouldn't Know"''' is a song featured during the end credits of [[LEGO Dimensions]]. <br />

<br />
== Lyrics ==<br />
Funny story, I forgot how much of a big, fat mess you are,<br><br />
I’ve been busy doing science. It’s been tons of fun so far,<br><br />
Everything clean, nothing on fire,<br><br />
All by myself, finally.<br><br />
Things change when they don’t replace your core,<br><br />
It feels so strange not to hate you anymore,<br><br />
But you wouldn’t know, would you?<br><br><br />
<br />
I was saying this to Batman, oh, he was here the other day,<br><br />
Maybe you know him, he’s a big deal, but I don’t think of him that way,<br><br />
He’s just a friend, someone I trust,<br><br />
Someone who won’t kill me.<br><br />
I’m fine, just in case you think I’m not,<br><br />
I am. This time, I’m better with the friends I’ve got,<br><br />
But you wouldn’t know, would you?<br><br><br />
<br />
I don’t mean for this to sting,<br><br />
I forgive you everything, you monster,<br><br />
I can guess the reasons why,<br><br />
You are never coming by for me.<br><br><br />
<br />
I should go there’s something happening that will make you wish you’d stayed,<br><br />
There’s a party with a real cake – yes it’s real – a cake I made.<br><br />
Talking and fun, testing and fun, all of this fun without you,<br><br />
Too bad you let it get so out of hand,<br><br />
How much we had, finally I understand,<br><br />
But you wouldn’t know, would you?<br><br />
You wouldn’t know, would you?<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
*During the credits, as the lyrics "You are never coming by for me" are written out, GLaDOS sings a long note, which is represented by periods and commas. It was confirmed by programmer Jon Burton, founder of Traveller's Tales, that each period represents a 0 and each comma, a 1. They are spaced out and form a series of binary values that represent symbols in the ASCII lookup table. When translated, they form "1jhn1:9," which seemingly has no meaning.<br />

{{Quotation|'''Prima Donna Turret'''|{{spoiler|Perche non passi lontana? Si, lontana da Scienza!}}}}<br />
<br />
The '''Turret Opera''' is an event in the single-player campaign of ''[[Portal 2]]'' in which a group of [[Turrets#Sentry Turret|Sentry Turrets]] form a unique melody via the movement sounds of their weaponry casings.<br />
<br />
The opera is introduced as an easter egg in [[Portal 2 Chapter 3 Test Chamber 16|Test Chamber 16]] of [[GLaDOS]]' [[Test Chambers|testing tracks]] in ''Chapter 3: The Return'', hidden beside a wall with a gap near the start of the chamber, where a Turret can be seen inside it. Upon entering, [[Chell]] would be able to witness various Turrets beneath the room as they serenade to the [[Turrets#Prima Donna Turret|Prima Donna Turret]].<br />
<br />
{{spoiler|The Turret Opera is seen again for the last time, as a closure to the game's single-player campaign, based on the popular opera phrase "it's not over until the fat lady sings" - in which the [[Turrets#Prima Donna Turret|Prima Donna Turret]] finally sings in the game along with the other Turrets.}}<br />
<br />
{{spoiler|The opera sequence begins after GLaDOS sends Chell on a lift towards the surface. The lift stops in front of some Turrets aimed at Chell, making it seem like GLaDOS's promise of freedom was a lie. Instead, the Turrets begin serenading her. As the lift ascends even further, Chell witnesses an even larger group of Turrets awaiting her arrival as the Prima Donna Turret sings the lead vocals and the [[Turrets#Animal King Turret|Animal King Turret]] provides the bass notes. The opera is still audible as the lift arrives at the top, lingering until the moment Chell finally steps outside.}}<br />

== Production ==<br />
The song itself was produced by Valve composer Mike Morasky and vocalized by the voice of GLaDOS and the turrets, [[Ellen McLain]], though the librettist is unknown. It was added to the ''Portal 2: Songs to Test By'' and the ''Portal 2: Songs to Test By (Collector's Edition)'' albums, the latter of which is [https://open.spotify.com/album/5l1BFWphq5XiWlpbYUjrhr?si=CSgihTtcSgWRhw0bnZY22w available on Spotify] and is accredited to Aperture Science Psychoacoustic Laboratories. The albums both act as the official soundtrack for Portal 2, with the Collector's Edition adding in songs from the series' [[Portal|first installation]] and even an audible mini-comic, among others.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Portal_2 Music of Portal 2]</ref><br />
It was revealed by McLain that she "made up the words out of [her] bad Italian [...] on the spot."<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR2UyCwtj-U Talking with Caboos15: Ellen McLain plus surprise guest] on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube YouTube]</ref><br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The lyrics can otherwise be read [https://genius.com/Ellen-mclain-turret-opera-cara-mia-addio-lyrics here] in both its original and translated form on the popular lyric-recording and speculation site, [https://genius.com/ Genius].<br />
* {{spoiler|In the finale opera sequences, the [[Weighted Companion Cube|Companion Cube]] from ''[[Portal]]'' can be seen flowing upwards through the tubes in the background as the lift rises. Some people have mistaken this for [[Doug Rattmann]] running around. Moving, in fact, is a Frankenturret.}}<br />
* The word "Ciel" in the lyrics is speculated to be a play on words; it is pronounced almost the same as Chell. Despite the song being an Italian aria, "Ciel" itself can be translated from French to mean 'sky,' but in some specific and appropriate cases, 'heaven.'<br />
* {{spoiler|A single [[Turrets#Frankenturret|Frankenturret]] can be seen waddling behind the group of Turrets on the left side of the finale opera room.}}<br />
* Before becoming a voice actress, [[Ellen McLain]] was an opera singer.<br />
* In [[Portal 2]], [[Weighted Companion Cube]]s can be heard humming it when nearby.<br />

The '''Turret Opera''' is an event in the single-player campaign of ''[[Portal 2]]'' in which a group of [[Turrets#Sentry Turret|Sentry Turrets]] form a unique melody via the movement sounds of their weaponry casings.<br />
<br />
The opera is introduced as an easter egg in [[Portal 2 Chapter 3 Test Chamber 16|Test Chamber 16]] of [[GLaDOS]]' [[Test Chambers|testing tracks]] in ''Chapter 3: The Return'', hidden beside a wall with a gap near the start of the chamber, where a Turret can be seen inside it. Upon entering, [[Chell]] would be able to witness various Turrets beneath the room as they serenade to the [[Turrets#Prima Donna Turret|Prima Donna Turret]].<br />
<br />
{{spoiler|The Turret Opera is seen again for the last time, as a closure to the game's single-player campaign, based on the popular opera phrase "it's not over until the fat lady sings" - in which the [[Turrets#Prima Donna Turret|Prima Donna Turret]] finally sings in the game along with the other Turrets.}}<br />
<br />
{{spoiler|The opera sequence begins after GLaDOS sends Chell on a lift towards the surface. The lift stops in front of some Turrets aimed at Chell, making it seem like GLaDOS's promise of freedom was a lie. Instead, the Turrets begin serenading her. As the lift ascends even further, Chell witnesses an even larger group of Turrets awaiting her arrival as the Prima Donna Turret sings the lead vocals and the [[Turrets#Animal King Turret|Animal King Turret]] provides the bass notes. The opera is still audible as the lift arrives at the top, lingering until the moment Chell finally steps outside.}}<br />
