"Tainted Love" on a hand-cranked music box

OMG There’s a version of Blue Monday on it!

How did I ever miss that?

ETA Thanks again @HRS_Kurt

I guess that, with a looped roll, it would be possible to play some Rave Anthems. You’d just need to turn the little crank really fast to get the BPM high enough.

Edit: for appreciation of that lovely medley you shared. :heart_eyes: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

And there’s a cheaper version with fewer notes.

I came so close to grabbing one of these for christmas.

For those interested - the notes are mostly chromatic, with the bottom few being chord roots. There are two major variants - brass gears should last longer, but generally make more noise as they do their thing - plastic gears might have a shorter life but are quieter in operation. Part of me wants to get a brass set and try taking it apart to polish and cover with graphite dust.

I sort of drifted away from pop in the 70s, so I didn’t know about this song until the Levi’s ad:
