if you attached a kazoo to a vacuum exhaust....

Thanks people. 8)

Twisted: Glad you liked it, I had some trouble tuning my voice. Ah well, guess there are more ways to skin a cat. (now THAT is sardonic wit, although of particularly poor quality)

Dogbite: you'd be amazed at how much fun it is to do this, it's 10x more 'direct' then guitar or piano. Working on a sound that cleans up better at lower volume and that can deal with more pronounced stacatto sounds. Try it yourself, I'm sure you'd love it! (and I'll have to try that out, overdriving a kazoo...)

Listening to Hoyt Axton's The Pusher, I've wondered if the deep, raunchy, rude, nasty distorted bass slide sound isn't a distorted vocal or kazoo instead of guitar. Some of the same sound comes in as he's singing later in the song.

I like Hoyt's version better than the Steppenwolf cover.
