I had a coworker who used to be a C64 enthusiast. One day, a very long time ago, he discovered a C64 program on Usenet called "drive music". He downloaded it and ran it... and his floppy drive started playing music. After playing with it for a while, he heard that using it too much could throw your drive heads out of alignment, so he got rid of it.
