[sporenfrosch1411]

The last song?

It's Beetlejuice (NES)

[soulextracter]

Just to be clear! The last tune starting at 4:54 is from Beetlejuice level 1 on NES ;)

[Huhmasta]

best fucking techno ever

[Redrum267]

What if it suddenly started to rain?

[DuchessAliana]

What the...THAT IS SO AWESOME!!! :O

I think Nikola Tesla would be...intrigued by this innovative use of his invention xD

[SurfShopRock]

Sounds a lot like a song from beauty and the beast...and also, the mario bros 2 castle theme was in there...and...

I...MUST...HAVE...ONE...OF THESE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[videofreakcologne]

1:45 Marble Madness ^^ ROFL !!!!

[JustinHill47]

It kind of looks like the two coils are spitting at each other sometimes.

[magfest]

MARBLE MADNESS!!!

[heemoh8r]

they need this in a rave club with a bunch of strobe lights with techno music. that'd be the shiz

[stitchlips47]

i agree, i could see these being used at a daft punk concert

[Samarka600]

They do exist.

[Lachlant1984]

You should make it play Clocks by Coldplay, then it will sound like the Royksopp remix that came out in 2003, this is so cool.

[evin290]

This is incredible.

[Turktien]

I thought and thought for a while and, because I love the tune so much, I figured out the last song. It's the Level 1 theme from Beetlejuice on the NES

[soulextracter]

Thank you! your mt fucking hero right now <3

[OMGhappiness]

lol

[Wodkabruder]

0:00 - 1:46 Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy

1:46 - 2:45 Marble Madness stage 2 song

2:45 - 3:29

3:29 - 4:18 beauty and the beast - Gaston

4:22 - 4:55 super mario castle theme

4:55 - 7:07

please correct any mistakes above.

[earthsprite]

I think the Beauty and the Beast song is called "Kill the Beast." Nice list! :)

[Microwave89]

Thank you for the answer, but i think, that i'm to stupid.

I can't find the same melody in all the marble madness search results.

Because there are more than one results.

There are melodies from stage 1 to stage7.

This is my problem :/

[bloggingchick]

Here is one of them that I found, but I can't post direct links here: /watch?v=k154KxQ2Sw8

starts at about 00:33. Sorry, don't know what stage it is.

Otherwise, here is just the tune:

/watch?v=P67sqTMJvxM

[Mitshiko]

@bloggingchick Its from Tetris... Not Marble Madness, lol...its in one of the song selections. when you pick a level and all that.

[hanssonjansson]

same problem here, i love that last song, but i can't find it anywhere :(

[Microwave89]

Can me anyone say the name of the last song?

I thought, it's a tetris version.

But i couldn't find it on youtube...

Please, help me ;)

[bloggingchick]

Marble Madness

[uploadJ]

The Canon did a real nice job capturing this event; I've got an S3 IS that I have made a lot of use of ...

[Marldain]

Omg the super mario castle theme

[VvoicezZ]

Creepy cool.

[ejg930]

It's Sugarplum Fairy, Marble Madness, and then Tetris. You have those mixed up in the description.

[crish4ck3r]

Tetris game for NES !

[LashingMrX01]

what are the discs on the ground?

[JudasJudas123]

bases of fluorescent tubes

[Hopspop]

Could you throw a hot dog through there to cook it up quick?

Mega bug-zapper maybe - what else is the practical application, aside from geek-cool?

[pbforandrew]

is the lightning thing making the noise

[wooooooolymoo]

ya is awesome

[svc1978]

Outstanding. I'm in the process of building a baby coil as I learn the theory of how it all operates, I doubt my wife would tolerate this kind of setup but one day... a man can dream I guess. :)

[Breiti690]

Thats REAL Techno :o)

[SRB2Pheonix]

hardstyle?

[sk8er754]

Every evil scientist with a giant pipe organ would want to trade for one of these lol.

[HHog]

@sk8er754 Any evil scientist worth his salt should be able to figure out how to build their own. =P

[speeddemon1092]

O.o those things are just freaking AWESOME!

Now see if you cant persuade the person running those things to do Sandstorm by Darude on those 2... if he has more, have him break out at least one more for ultimate WIN!

[Wodkabruder]

hmmm lecker Ozon

[kodoro]

One of the songs towards the middle was gastons song from beauty and the beast.. Either that or the opening to aladdin. After that was the old mario theme when you fought bowser on any bridge.

[legofanomega]

I think the song you are thinking of as Gaston's song is "Kill the Beast", the song played when Gaston is rallying people for the assault on Beast's castle. Though we could be talking of the same song I suppose. I just associate "Gaston's song" with the tavern song as his name is virtually every other word.

[NuBoko]

its a crime not to watch this in High Quality mad props to the maker of this for shelling out the extra 100 bucks for a good camera

[HiAdrian]

So cool.

Do they have some kind of restriction zone marked? Seems kind of risky to place it openly on the parking parking spot. Common sense is not so strong with everyone, especially after a few beer.

[bloggingchick]

Actually, it was not in the parking lot, it was on the front "courtyard" of the hotel and they always put caution tape around the perimeter of the tesla coils. I was standing right behind the tape.

Not to worry, every safety precaution there is is always observed. :)

[drashanen]

3:28-4:19 = Gaston's song Kill the Beast/the mob song from Beauty and the Beast, yeah?

[bloggingchick]

You are undoubtedly right. Honestly, I've been listening to them so much trying to figure out Friday night's order, some of them are starting to sound the same to me.

[teamrocketspet]

This was a great performance... I was in the smoking consuite though so there was shrubbery in our way, but we still got to see most of it. WTG Tesla coils FTW!

[HadesPinkKiller]

Hey can anyone name the last song?

[bloggingchick]

I believe that one is Marble Madness.

[ChibiNeko14]

I was there, It was soooo cool. It took so long to set up though.

[mzmadmike]

It was awesome. Nuff said.

[sparkybluefox]

OMG! That was so awesome! My tail fur stood straight up when the Tesla's were singing!

Good stuff!

[Alkivar]

what no rick roll!?!?!?!

[beamjockey]

All hail the mighty Zeusaphones!
