So some guy (who probably is made of awesome) decided to do something amazing. He played the Zelda theme song with Tesla coils over “Sexy Back.” I especially love at 1:06 when he plays the Link “Hyeh!” sound effect to go from JT to Zelda.

Posted by on March 25, 2009
by Tara So, there is a war beginning in the Mary Poppin’s bag. It all began when I cooked catfish on the stove. It wasn’t that I cooked catfish*, but rather I left the oil in the pan, and left the pan on the stove. Now, if you are thinking “But Tara, you have cats. [...]
