  • Bustin’ Makes These Floppy Drives Feel Good

    I have long been under the impression that Ghostbusters is the perfect movie. It has the perfect cast and the perfect script. It really helps that it’s in my favorite, and woefully neglected, genre – horror comedy. Of course, we can’t forget that the film also has one of the catchiest theme songs ever.

    Ray Parker Jr.’s classic Ghostbusters theme song has inspired countless parodies, covers, tributes and everything else one can do with a song with one glaring omission. There has not been a cover of the song as performed by floppy drives. That hole in my heart has now been filled thanks to YouTube user MrSolidSnake745. Check out the performance below and try telling me that it’s not the greatest cover you’e ever heard:

    As you can obviously hear, music created by floppy drives is some of the best this world has to offer. If the Ghostbusters theme has made you a fan, check out these other great floppy drive covers.

  • The Game Of Thrones Theme Gets A Floppy Drive Remake

    With only two episodes left in the killer second season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, excitement for the best show on television is hitting a fever pitch. And while we all wait patiently for the coming of winter in Westeros, we can be happy that things like this exist.

    Simply, it’s the Game of Thrones theme played on eight floppy drives.

    I’m not going to say that this rendition towers above the original score, but it’s definitely no disappointment. Self-described “man of many talents” Anand Jain is the guy responsible for this two minutes of awesome. Check it out below:

    We’ve showcased plenty of musical numbers with floppy drives as the instrument of choice, but Mr. Jain’s has a pretty impressive setup here. By utilizing eight floppy drives, he can actually incorporate many of the musical complexities contained in the songs he chooses to reinvent.

    Songs, you say? Yes, Jain (YouTube ID MrSolidSnake745) hasn’t just limited his floppy orchestra to the fantasy genre. If you check out his channel, you’ll find eight-floppy-drive version of things like the Duke Nukem theme, the USSR anthem, Star Trek: The Next Generation theme, and “This is Halloween” from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Although one YouTube points out that this floppy music is “still better than Skrillex,” you can find a floppy rendition of some of his work on Jain’s channel as well.
