AC/DC’s music video for “Rock n’ Roll Train” is one that will bypass any workplace firewall—it’s encoded in Excel format. Phil Clandillon and Steve Milbourne of Sony/BMG are the gurus behind this massive spreadsheet, which you can actually download here. Unfortunately, Wired warns us that the Excel spreadsheet won’t run on a Mac, and users will need to enable macros for optimal viewing. Or you can just check out the YouTube version of “Rock n’ Roll Train” above in its full Excel glory. Clandillon and Milbourne are fairly certain that this is the first time Excel has been exclusively used to create a music video.  "Basically, it's come about because we recognized that a lot of people have fairly restrictive internet and security policies at work," Clandillon told Wired.com. "What we really liked was that we could actually subvert the corporate firewalls by including AC/DC's music in an Excel spreadsheet, because that's allowed through every corporate firewall there is."
