This one-man cover of the Futurama theme song is astonishing

As they discussed in a DVD commentary track several years ago, the creators of the animated sci-fi sitcom Futurama originally thought that the show’s hyper-catchy theme song, composed by California musician Christopher Tyng, would be remixed for every single episode. That ambitious but impractical idea didn’t pan out at first, although the show did remix the theme in later seasons. And the show’s obsessive fans have, predictably, taken matters into their own hands, creating their own idiosyncratic versions of the theme. One in particular, a multi-instrumentalist who bills himself as SquidPhysics, has recorded an astonishing one-man-band version of the familiar tune, demonstrating his prowess on a number of overdubbed instruments, ranging from synthesizers to trumpet to bongo drums.
