As part of the funding stategy for the construction of the Nikola Tesla Museum, cartoonist Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal teamed up with folkpop artist Sarah Donner to create this hilarious and catchy music video called "Nikola Tesla Dood."

Their collaboration is a small part of the fundraising going into the museum that Elon Musk himself has already donated $1 million to help build. Engraved bricks that will be placed on the grounds of Tesla's laboratory in Shoreham, New York are also available for purchase, with the proceeds going to the campaign.

The Oatmeal is currently running a second Indiegogo campaign for the museum that's raised over $140,000.
