Skip to 12:07 for the actual song, but the entire video is worth a watch and is absolutely fascinating. A great example of mechanical engineering and ingenuity. I don't think I've seen many instruments you have to punch to play.

I want that job so bad, imagine being able to set the mood of the town every single day through your musical selection

I was somehow envisioning Breakfast Machine by Danny Elfman (the song on that really old YTMND with the blue ball machine). This is much better, though.

Through the fire and flames

This is some of the most insane engineering I've ever seen, and then you have the most basic keyboard ever. I'd love to hear this in person at least once, because you know it's someone up in a glorified glass bird cage at the top of the tower making it all happen.
