We’ve had these things in Sydney for years.

First encountered them New Years Eve 1983, down by Sydney Harbour. Every you went thousands of idiots were hooting their brains out.

It would be even funnier if it showed every instrument being played continuously all at once.

  Wow. That’s amazing. That’s going to become the next rickrolled. At least for the next few weeks.

I’m expecting someone to do the LoLoLoLo YouTube video to a VuVuZela any moment now.

It’s too bad this isn’t a real thing that South Africans and tourists could have used to learn and practice actual songs. I really want to hear some American fans bust out a version of “Louie, louie” at tomorrow’s game.

@SamSam Exactly my thought. Too bad.

I’d like to see Kora Hero!! A 21 string interface would be way more fun than actual Guitar Hero…plus the music would be way, way better…

The goal of the game is to drown out the music the band tries to play.

  But there’s always Accordion Hero!

These are sold in Boston for New Year’s Eve too. Never thought a cheap plastic horn would be marketed as a traditional instrument…

I love the sound of these…they are better than a Nickleback song :).

I found this shirt that I like.

If Australia wins its bid to host the World Cup, everybody should bring didgeridoos to the stadiums.
