The Kazoo Song was a song written by Joe Hawley and performed by Tally Hall at a few shows in April 2006.
Background
The Kazoo Song was written and demoed by Joe Hawley at some point in late 2005 or early 2006. This demo sent to Drew Mokris, who animated the music video for Turn The Lights Off, which had the title "1 N 1 S 2".[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 Karaca 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.
It is known to have been played at shows on April 8th and April 23rd, 2006 at The Blind Pig and The Annex respectively.[2] Performances of this song began in total darkness, with the band dressed in all-black outfits adorned with Christmas lights which matched their respective tie colors (i.e.: 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.[3]
