The man who made it, a Glasgow art student called James Houston, has managed to re-create the song using bits of really old computer hardware. The kind of stuff your dad probably played with when he was a nipper, including an actual ZX Spectrum (which was what passed for a Wii back when Lethal Bizzle was merely Potentially Hazardous Bizzle).

It's doubly galling because I've had on my List Of Brilliant ChartBlog Ideas to do some kind of video feature called 'People Making Music Out Of Things', which has been entirely bested by this astonishing piece of work.

And to make matters even WORSE, he finished it too late to enter in the actual competition. So he's automatically cooler than the dweebs to did get organised in time (hello!), AND he's done it better than anyone else...AND he seems to be able to read my mind.

Look at this quote, taken from his : "I grouped together a collection of old redundant hardware, and placed them in a situation where they're trying their best to do something that they're not exactly designed to do, and not quite getting there."

See what I mean? That's like the mission statement for ChartBlog, right there...this man is a God to me!
