What to do with spare floppy drives? Let's make music!!
This is insane, Imperial Match played by two floppy disk drives.

Does this signify that the students have too much spare time, or that they are just creative? I don't know the answer, but one can't help thinking how did they get the idea of this after hearing it!

Relaxed movement is always more effective than forced movement.

Actually, this version is even better. Played by 8 floppy drives!

I never thought I would live to hear this, the combined sound is more like a synthesizer!

Probably because it reminds you of the more... mechanical side of Vader.  :shaking:

No matter how many times I watch these, I'm still as amused as the first time
This'll be at least the eleventh time I've watched the duo since September

Ho, ho, ho, to the bottle I go
to heal my heart and drown my woe!
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
and many miles be still to go,
but under a tall tree I will lie!

4 Floppies; pretty darn good, except I think the tempo needs to be a little faster

For some reason, I went from Floppy disc music to laser harp music...
Where's the connection? I was browsing related, and came across "Still Alive" Floppy version, then after that, Tetris theme...
...on laser harp

Lucky you, I found this:

Bohemian Rhapsody with assorted electrical appliances

That link sent me on a appliance splurge

Phantom of the Floppera

I had no idea it was possible to drive the floppy drive motor that way.

Watching these turned my floppy-disk into a hard-disk.  :nod:
If you hit it and it bleeds, you can kill it. If you hit it and it doesn't bleed...You are obviously not hitting hard enough.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.
