Ganked shamelessly from Boing Boing: Möbius Strip Bach
Original Post
This video shows a selection from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Musical Offering (1747) played forwards, then backwards, then both forwards and backwards at the same time. It was created by mathematical illustrator Jos Leys and science/philosophy blogger Xantox. This Bach piece has long intrigued mathematicians:
In each of these canons a musical line is played twice (or four times in Canon 10). The second version is always transformed with respect to the first by shifting in time, but it may also be shifted in pitch, turned upside-down, stretched, or played backwards. Each of these transformations occurs in the mathematics of elementary functions; they are examples of how new functions can be made out of old and of how a function can be tailored to fit a new situation.

Star Trek Search for Hot Girls
I found this and the following two videos whilst scanning through youtube. These are my favs, but I would suggest looking through the channel... there's a great batman/pizza delivery guy crossover...
You know this actually happened, but Star Fleet hushed it up.
