Lol. Awesome! I'm not quite sure what happened, but the fact that a lightning-spitting object played classic Nintendo songs is pretty cool.

You do understand where the sound is from right? There are no speakers around.... Have you ever seen a tesla coil in person?

Says this person with a long bar of rep and the highest post count you will ever see. The original post about giving myself rep was meant to be a joke

That was pretty coool. So I'm not quite sure what a tesla coil is. Does it have anything to do with static? I actually think I have been to one of those. I think Cheap Trick had one at their concert.

Think of it like a weak lightning generator. Have you ever charged up a capacitor and then touched the leads together?
This might help understand what is happening

it's 3am and after the video was over I literally exclaimed "That was friggin tight, dude!"

Not only is the lightning awesome to watch, but the music has the sound of a WASP Modulator, a tool used in creating one of my favorite techno sounds.
