Musical Underwear

Musical Underwear
After the success of the Clap-Off bra i got thinking about where the world of gimmick undergarments could go next. There are so many options from led bras to velcro boxers, but i wanted to do something a bit more musical. I came up with these as the men's answer to the clap off bra (but of course this method could be done with women's as well).

Musical Underwear is the underwear that gets down when you get down!

(Video is NSFW if your work frowns on undergarment flashing)

Supplies
There was some thought going hhw to make my underwear sing. Of course the arduino was considered as a first option, but i felt that it was a little over kill for this project. I found at radio shack a talking picture frame that was motion activated. It could also hold a message that was up to 10 seconds in length.

Also you'll need a pair of underwear, i chose some awesome looking ones from American Apparel.

And lastly you'll need a phototransistor that reacts to visible light a mini audio jack with free wires (not shown) and a 3 AA battery holder

Dude! These are awesome! I even love the color! ( Though, personally, I'd replace the bow with a flower blossom & add some lace! ) Great job!

Except replace the song with "Takin' care of buisness"

I vow to come up with something even more patently ridiculous...

Also props to Randy for the clapper bra... Now when any of us undoes a girls bra with one hand we can say it's a dying art and look all mystical to the tunes of our musical underwear...

Musical nickers, and a clap off bra... Instructables is great ;)

great idea but do you think you could record the sound on the video somewhere other than next to the building ventilation system or train station or whatever noisy place you were in?

It should do the Hallelujah Chorus.

Agreed. Something sweeping and epic would be appropriate musical accompaniment for this magnificent project. Perhaps some Strauss? Also sprach Zarathustra?

You should make a night light using the Star Man power up from Mario Brothers.

When you walk by the night light it flashes / sparkles while playing that catchy power-up tune.
