This is an impressive cover of The Animals' version of 'The House of the Rising Sun' (I love you, Eric Burdon!) performed on a bunch of old computer parts (set up by the same guy who did 'Bohemian Rhapsody'). What parts? I dunno, but hopefully not the privates. I've actually seen a friend strum a harp with his wiener before though, so you never know. "I know you need some new damn friends!" God, I really do. Unfortunately beggars can't be choosers.

He used an Atari 800XL with an EiCO Oscilloscope as the organ, a Texas instrument Ti-99/4A with a Tektronix Oscilloscope as the guitar, a hard drive powered by a PiC16F84A microcontroller as the bass drum and cymbal, and an HP Scanjet 3P, Adaptec SCSI card, and a computer powered by Ubuntu v9.10 OS for the vocals.

They actually do a really good job, which is a lot more than I can say for any job I've ever done. ...Are you thinking what I'm thinking? "Of getting the band back together?!" HA -- good one, but no. I was thinking of my friend with the harp again. That...was a f***ing awkward wedding reception.

Hit the jump for the at least worth skipping around video.

Thanks to Mark, who sends me tips like it's his second, pay-free job. And to Alex, who decided to post the tip on Geekologie's Facebook page instead of using the tip line. Making me work for my dinner, huh? I don't like it!

    June 6, 2012
    This is a rap about The Game of Thrones from Dominik Omega and The Arcitype using a remixed version of the theme song. It's really good. Of course if you don't like rap music you probably won't like it, so no need to leave a comment if that's the case. Otherwise you're gonna... / Continue →

    This is a video of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme being performed by eight floppy drives. Not as impressive as being performed by seven elephants and a bear balancing on a ball, but this isn't the circus. Or is it? I AM eating popcorn. "Popcorn doesn't make a circus." ... / Continue →

  • We can make it more useful after the some changes. When they buy a brand new computer, they ought to be cautious. First, they ought to check it very cautiously then they buy it.

  • I really like your article. this article shows that how creative mind you are having. Keep on, you could get better then this.

  • Definitely impressed. Also, I still mouthed the words..

  • Why the hell does this exist? Why the hell do people want to see computer parts playing songs? I think maybe it's time we turned off the internet and all just go to bed.

    As an Animals fan, I am quite impressed. Reminds me of the days where I'd have a 865kb of midi's on my hard drive.

    No, actually he's right. You have to organize it by "Oldest First".
