Flight of the Bumblebees just might be the geekiest thing ever done. Pretty cool.

5. Masquerade (Phantom of the Opera)

You've seen some amazing PC case mods, now here's a brief look at what you can do with an old computer and a few floppy drives. While this may not be the best sounding version of Masquerade The Phantom of the Opera (ed. note - apologize for mistake in title), it most certainly is the geekiest.

THAT'S NOT PHANTOM OF THE OPERA! THAT'S BACH'S TOCCATA AND FUGUE IN D MINOR, YOU DICKHEAD!

Good. That's been covered.

If you had a Scanjet back in the day it could do this (new window)

And here's an old C64 1541 floppy drive (rather appropriately) singing "Daisy" (new window)

That's nothing. If you had an IBM 7094, you could do this.

/By the way, after listening the imperial march, I now want to hear Holst's Mars done this way.
//Daisy! Daisy, no!

Thank you for that. It was bothering me as well.

The part that really gets me is that the author thinks he fixed the title when he replaced "Masquerade" with "Phantom of the Opera".
You know you had it wrong, so a little bit of research is probably warranted, no?

Well, that's a whole site of fail.

Mislabeling songs.

Videos with the sound so low you can't hear the supposed song.

Has more ads than a hooker has diseases.

There are 28 different sites with scripts on that page.

The Moog Cookbook does some great moog covers of songs in geeky ways.
