Remember the Windows XP shutdown sound? It’s been covered in an interesting way.

Windows XP played a cheery little tune when you shut down your computer at the end of a long day. If you’re of a certain age, you can probably hum that shutdown sound right now.

This group of musicians decided to cover that little ditty in a variety of ways. (Side note: I don’t shut down my computer anymore. Does Windows 11 play us out?)
