Nutcracker Ala Bikes
Spreading cheery winter holiday spirit using bicycle sounds, Flip Baber, aka Johnnyrandom, produced a musical composition for Specialized Bicycle Components, exclusively from the sounds made of mountain and road bike parts. It's wild!
The song is from the Tchaikovsky score, "Nutcracker Suite", titled "Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy"(original lyrics and music).

I think Specialized will be featuring it as a download on their website soon. Glad you like the track!

anyone know what the story is about a video version of this song?
that song might make a good cell phone ringtone... at least during the holidays.
This is brilliant. A friend sent to a bunch of friends, and now my friends and relatives are doing the same! My aunt, who teaches harp, loves it and sent it to all her students.
