Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3270 Joined: 9 Sep 2008    | I'm not sure what to say about this...except for wow. It wouldn't be recognizable at the beginning if I wasn't listening for it. Entertaining...in an odd way. |

Minus the TopGear theme tune done with engines was a terrid failure... |

On the Record  Posts: 6205 Joined: 10 Mar 2008   | No no no! The 3.5 inch disk drive was off beat and the HP ScanJet 3C was as flat as a pancake! We cannot keep doing this people, let's take it from the top! In all seriousness, this is awesome-sauce. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 739 Joined: 19 Dec 2007  | Nice work. but they have been beaten to it by the original music composing machine the "Harrington 1200" |

apart from the fact that the top gear engine song didn't sound anything like what it was supposed to. |

Bo-Hardware-ian Rhapsody
If you're going to make music out of old hardware, there's rarely a better tune to go for than Queen's Magnum opus.
Re-creating the head bangers' favorite from Wayne's World was not an easy task, and the harmony does slip at the end a little, but it's still a true work of art.
The main band is provided by HP ScanJet 3C taking over the ripped shirt of Freddie Mercury, the Texas Instrument TI-99/4a replacing Brian May, bass provided by a 8 inch floppy disk instead of Jon Deacon, and a 3.5 inch disk drive providing Roger Taylor's percussion. Incidental organ and piano are the remit of an Anatri 800XL.
Canadian YouTuber bd594 has also written Star Wars for the disk drives as well as producing a gingerbread borg?!?
While watching this one though, I almost worked some lyrics out, Weird Al style, does anyone care to finish them?
"Scanner, completed scan.
Got a disk drive out on drums,
Anatri organ, here it comes,
Scanner, Anatri just begun,
And now TI will boot and start to play..."
