Description
1
Dubya
Comb wrapped in wax paper
Makes simple humming sound like a symphony coming out of a busted speaker!
2
Crystal Meth
Didgeridoo
Funny name. Creepy sound.
3
Incest
Jug
Some are for showin'! This one's for blowin'!
4
Sideshow Mel Slide whistle
Also known as a "piston flute", the slide whistle is great for when you want to add a Pee-Wee Herman quality to your musical arrangement.
5
Brandine Hambone
Mmm... ham bone.
6
Mary
Saw
Drag the bow over the bent saw and it sounds just like angels singing ... if angels took LSD.
7
Whitney
Jew's harp
For that extra twangy Leonard Cohen sound!
8
Cletus
Washboard
Board has ridges. Drag a stick over the ridges. Drag it up, drag it down, board makes noise. Easy!
9
Heather
Rainstick
Turn it one way, then the other, like an hourglass. The problem with this one is the sound makes me have to pee.
10
Dylan
Beat Box
There's a microphone, so I think this is more like singing than playing an instrument. I still don't know where this kid hides the box.
11
Q-Bert
Maracas
Cletus says he only uses these when his dried gourds are in the pawn shop. If you can make a cocktail, you can play these.
12
Gummy Sue
Drum machine
The easiest instrument of them all! Just push the on button!
13
Homer Simpson Armpit tuba
Some may say I'm just making fart sounds, and they may be right. But at least they're coming from my armpit. It could be worse.
14
Birthday , Jitney , Taylor , and Cody Kazoos
The little one cries when you tell him kazoos aren't horns.
15
International Harvester
New Year's Eve Noisemakers
These add a drunky, horny, regretful, yet hopeful sound to any song!
