And the rumor that Ozzy Osbourne snorted ants is investigated, hands-on.
- Light ‘Em Up - What happens when you get shocked on stage - and can it kill you? What type of music is capable of generating the most power? And can you use electricity itself as a musical instrument?
- Blown Away - Do sound waves have the power to push someone over? Speakers are rebuilt into hovercraft to see if music has the power to lift an object. And the hosts try to find a way to demonstrate the best spot in a concert hall.
