Pirates Of The Caribbean Theme On 8 Floppy Drives

February 15, 2012 / computer parts, encore! encore!, i don't care what anybody says i liked those movies (except the third one), just so we're clear i would not pay to see that performed live, kinda painful (okay a lot painful), movies, music, music to my ears, obselete, pirates, soundtrack, sure why not, theme, video

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." But the circus does make popcorn. "You are so stupid." I...am probably the dumbest person I know.

Hit the jump for the headache.

    Now I know what you're thinking, "GW, that has got to be the most boring-ass picture I have ever seen". And you know what? I couldn't agree more I've got some pictures of the carpet under my sofa you might be interested in. Still -- a milling machine playing the MacGyver the... / Continue →

    This is a giant barrel organ decorated in Star Wars LEGO scenes that, when hand-cranked, has pieces that hit little metal fingers that in turn push organ keys and play the Star Wars theme. That's pretty cool. Granted not as cool as my gerbil, but he died last year and I keep ... / Continue →

  • It's being played on Floppy drives, what do you expect?

  • I feel same way, not because the floppy, but  the idea is crap. imperial march is something but this...

    I agree... in general, this idea/meme of musical floppy drives is ridiculous and me.

    The song is called "He's a pirate" and it existed way before Pirates of the Caribbean.

  • Yes, the song is called "He's a Pirate" and it's the theme to the Pirates of the Caribbean series. It is, therefore, the Pirates of the Caribbean theme. And no, it was written for the first movie.

    This is what happens when you don't fact check on the internet, I guess. Thanks for correcting me.

    My hard drives once played the theme to Montezumas revenge, or at least that's what I thought they were doing every time I'd gotten up to bust a few funky moves.  Turns out they were hacked & remotely controlled by russian spammers who just loved american culture, but also who liked watching people dance
