Today's most oddly musical video: HarmoNESica

It should be a no-brainer. You blow into a harmonica. You blow into an NES cartridge. Putting the two things together should result in more efficient blowing. And indeed it does. All you have ti do is watch the video performance on the new instrument to see how much it blows.The creator of this monstrosity of musical design has put together some detailed instructions for those who would dare to replicate this feat in the comfort of their own homes. Choose your cartridge carefully, though -- as the instructions note, this is a game you should be comfortable essentially making out with. So Yo Noid! is probably out.

It seemed like the majority of the video was spent hating on Tecmo Super Bowl. Shouldn't he have rather talked about the harmonesica instead?

a mod? Why is this video here and who took the time to find it?

a better question ... who is that guy, and why is he on my internet?
kinda reminds me of the "suck-cut" on wayne's world.
"as you can see, it sucks as it cuts ..."
"wow, that really does suck."

Funny thing about that suck-cut, somebody actually came along later and invented the "flowbee", which did the exact same thing.

Actually, funny thing is, the flowbee came before the suck-cut, which is why it was parodied in Wayne's World...

Umm... I personally preferred the video of the harp being played.
Oh..and I see what you did there.

FYI- that green "Blow Me" design is a t-shirt over at bustedtees.com!

Actually it ripped off this shirt. Made like 3 years ago. But hey.

The last time I tried playing the harmonica I nearly swallowed the thing.

This pisses me off...Joystiq keeps posting these retarded videos and still haven't posted the genius video that I sent them a few times.
jopojelly @ Mar 14th 2008 5:15AM
Try and tell me that this video isn't better than the posted video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D25zQ-qKA0
Monthenor @ Mar 14th 2008 9:24AM
Yeah, I'd agree with that.

Joystiq is in the business of posting quirky video game inventions and news, not every random music video about games on youtube.

Dude, I'd totally make out w/ Yo Noid!, but I wouldn't ruin it to make a harmonica... I still hate Dominos "Pizza"; however, that game was awesome.

I've got, "Rush n' Attack," laying around. Think that should work?
colin @ Mar 14th 2008 8:49PM
just made one with nintendo world championships: gold edition. that game blows.
Sam @ Mar 14th 2008 11:12AM
Its amazing how we all knew about these techniques in the 80's even though we were kids and not on the internet :)

I use to mess around with my dad's harmonica.
