Drum Kit Shirt Turns You Into a Robotic Bobby McFerrin
Posted by Sean Fallon at 2:30 AM on September 25, 2008
Remember the '80s? You know, the decade that playing a beat on your chest passed as music? Just me? Wow...I am getting old. Anyway, you can relive those days with a high-tech upgrade thanks to this electronic drum kit shirt from Think Geek. That's right, you can actually play seven different drum sounds through a built-in speaker by tapping on different areas of the shirt. As you can see in the video, the effect is awesome—but the whole thing has reminded me of Bobby McFerrin, which has reminded me of that God-awful Don't Worry Be Happy song, which is now deeply entrenched in my head. Damn you, Bobby McFerrin...damn you to hell. [Think Geek]

This is so funny, I was just at thinkgeek.com checking out their new stuff because I got the newsletter. And I do think this shirt might get you punched in the face. Or people might harass you by constantly tapping you in the chest which might not be bad in some cases lol.

@flipobrien: Too bad the shirt doesn't have a sensor there. I'd imagine it would play a TV audience laugh track.

This is pretty sweet, it would probably get old and annoy people after a while......much like Bobby McFerrin.

I sorta wanna punch you right now. Because now it's stuck in my head too.
But not the real version, the Futurama one from the Space Bees episode.

If he didn't have a sleeve of tattoos I would seriously question his rock credibility. Thankfully, I did not have to go to that dark, dark place.

I had a shirt like that over 10 years ago, but it had Animal from the Muppets sitting behind the drum kit.

@Jon B.: I have girl titties and I would be embarrased by some stranger slapping them. **Awkward!**

I'd buy one for my brother, but it doesn't have double bass! Come on, make a double bass version!

Over 9000 Internets to the first person to send one to Travis Barker...
You know, because he's hurt badly from the waist down.
