Imperial March Played On A Floppy Disk

This is a video of the Star Wars Imperial March played on a 3 1/2" disk (the 5 1/4" floppy's rigid little sister). It's just as awesome as you thought it would be.

Seriously, never wager your left nut on a Daily Double.

Two more videos after the jump -- a flatbed scanner playing Fur Elise, and one playing Ode to Joy.

Thanks Flogag, let's start a band with nothing but computer components. We'll be rich!
