"Pop Music" performed by popping balloons

Ross Harris says: "My daughter and I made a video / song using only balloons and helium."

Terrific. I wanted it to be longer.

Encore! Again! Fire up the helium canisters, we're taking this show on the road!

Oops, I read this as from Rolf "Jake The Peg" Harris at first.

Want more? Try the Matmos album "Quasi Objects". The first track "Stupid Fambaloo" is made from samples taken whilst engaging in such tomfoolery as this song here.

It reminded me of Holger Hiller's Ohi Ho Bang Bang...

Judy Dunaway also makes some interesting balloon music- although much more experimental and sometimes unlistenable...

I was expecting a cover version of "Pop Muzik" by Robin Scott's M.

Neat, but I was really expecting a 99 Luftballons cover.

#3 is right on the money. First thought that popped into my head was Matmos's "Stupid Fambaloo"
