Wrap music: Watch an actual tortilla play music on a record player
Try and your mind around this one.
Back in April, a YouTuber uploaded a short, humorous clip of a tortilla spinning on a record player. It was fake, but amusing.
Until, of course, serious enthusiast Rapture Records decided to prove it could actually be done.
Let's ignore that that giant warning sign on the laser machine saying ALL MATERIALS MUST BE CERTIFIED LASER SAFE. It's grand, sure.
"Recorded using the Numark PT-01 with a spare 78 diamond needle," the video description informs us.
"It's an uncooked flour tortilla. Edible, but tastes burnt. Cooked tortilla are lumpier in comparison and are more prone to shredding when played."
Whew. Glad he covered that technicality. Still, it sounds a bit , doesn't it?
If the tune sounds vaguely familiar, that's because it is – of course – the Mexican Hat Dance song. What else?
Not at all (it's recorded on flour).
