The "Instrument" This YouTuber Uses For His Retro Covers Is As Perfect As It Is Weird
Youtuber "MrSolidSnake745" is one of many people to perform covers of popular songs from musicians, movies, TV, and even video games on Youtube. However, unlike others who do smooth jazz renditions of heavy metal songs, or heavy metal renditions of pop songs, MrSolidSnake745 doesn't even use conventional instruments!

Toy Story - "You've Got A Friend In Me"

Star Wars - "Imperial March"
