F2K: The Worst Songs Of The '00s
What, no “Love Rollercoaster”?
And Alligator by the Dead. Multiple kazoos! Way before they got popular. Such pioneers.
I was under the impression that Seaside Rendezvous actually featured Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor IMITATING the sound of a kazoo.
Wikipedia: The section is performed entirely by Mercury and Taylor using their voices alone. Mercury imitates woodwind instruments including a clarinet and Taylor mostly brass instruments, including tubas and trumpets, and even a KAZOO.
I LOVE SEASIDE RENDEZVOUS!
Third-best song on ANATO, behind “Boho Rhaps” and “The Prophet’s Song.”
