Sung by Kazoos, Andrew Horowitz
Genre Rock
Language Kazoo


The Kazoo Song was a song written by Joe Hawley and performed only twice on April 8th, 2006 at The Blind Pig, when the band played two sets back-to-back for two individual sold-out crowds.

The sets began in total darkness, opening with this song; the band were dressed in all-black outfits adorned with Christmas lights which matched their respective tie colors (ie: Rob wore yellow lights, Joe wore red lights, etc) which were triggered using footswitches and only were lit when that band member was actively making sound.[1]

The kazoo was the main instrument used in lieu of vocals, except for Andrew who sung a little through a vocal processor. Lyrics are unknown, although Bora has commented that there were no real lyrics at all, and that Andrew was speaking gibberish, mumbling, or speaking nonsense. It is unknown if Bora actually knows this or if he just said it to throw the fans off.

Trivia

• Drew Mokris, who animated the music video for Turn The Lights Off has said that he got an early demo of The Kazoo Song from Joe Hawley, which was titled "1 N 1 S 2"[2]
