Justifiable Homicide

It looks like kazoo boy will manage to anger is downstairs neighbor.

He’s about to get a bat in the old kazoo!

What a terrible thing to do to a Fender amp!

My life-long dislike of the saxophone, is due to the fact that it sounds like a kazoo!!

An electric kazoo would lead to an electric vuvuzela. That would justify homicide in any court.

It ended as a smash hit – or should I say, it ended with a smash hit.

When he plugs it into the amplifier will he get a charge out of it?!

It could be worse. It could be bagpipes.

I actually have an electric kazoo. Glued a piezo mic on it and can plug it into an amp.

Voice tube modulated guitar.

Lucille.

I actually have one.

OY‼️

Even Clapton used a kazoo on his 1992 “Unplugged” album. Clapton actually plays kazoo on “San Francisco Bay Blues”. Kazoo is a sure-fire way to ruin any decent song.

Could have been called “Short-lived inventions”. Or “Short-lived inventors”.

Oh, this one of those “What happens next” things. The kid starts squawking on the kazoo and the guy downstairs grabs a bat off his wall and runs upstairs and says, “Hey kid, being a specy musician inside all day ain’t good for you. Let’s go play some baseball in the park! What do you think?”

Fun non-fact: the University of Chicago Kazoo Marching Band acquired it but couldn’t find an extension cord long enough to use it, so they got Big Ed instead.

Themistocles, Thucydides,

The Peloponnesian War,

X squared, Y squared,

H2SO4.

Who for? What for?

Who we gonna yell for?

Go, Maroons!

That’ll go over well.

He better think twice or he might wind up with a kazoo up his wazoo!!

If only this one would’ve been 2 panels…

Shocking!

Gunilla Hutton could use that in the Hee-Haw all Jug Band!

Oh Bat Boy!

Peter Paul and Mary have a great recording of San Francisco Bay Blues using a kazoo riff in the middle. I think that was a tribute to Jesse Fuller, who wrote the song. Fuller was a one man band performer with guitar, drums, kazoo, bells, etc.

Got it – finally…

Actually, his downstairs neighbor reported him to the ASBCA for torturing ducks.

First, eat all the electric raisins in the electric raisin box…

wow, an electric kazoo would sound just like most vocalists these days…

It was the first and last electric kazoo rendition of “Purple Haze”.

Can’t be much worse then EDM.

Where’s the after scene.
