The Doctor Who Theme, Played on Floppy Drives [Video]

For years, I thought I was the only one that sang along to the semi-melodious tones of things like scanners, printers, and floppy drives. The recent glut of floppy drive music proves I was wrong, and this latest video featuring the Doctor Who theme song played by eight drives is a real high-water mark. Maybe its the weird techno-y feel, or the ancient technology resurrected, but it just seems to work.

    Too bad you can’t get the floppy drives to play the high “do-we-oooooo” part. =/

    Awesome! My only quibble: That was the 2005-2009/2010 version, not the 2010-present version – yet the TV has an Eleventh Doctor inspired image! :P
