The kazoo is a musical instrument that adds a "buzzing" timbral quality to a player's voice when the player vocalizes into it. It is a type of mirliton, which is a membranophone, one of a class of instruments which modifies its player's voice by way of a vibrating membrane.
A kazoo player hums, rather than blows, into the instrument. The oscillating air pressure of the hum makes the kazoo's membrane vibrate. The resulting sound varies in pitch and loudness with the player's humming. Players can produce different sounds by singing specific syllables such as doo, who, rrrrr or brrrr into the kazoo.
Similar hide-covered vibrating and voice-changing instruments have been used in Africa for hundreds of years, often for ceremonial purposes. A popular belief is that Alabama Vest, an African-American in Macon, Georgia, was the one who invented the kazoo around 1840. However, there is no documentation to support that claim.
The first documented appearance of a kazoo was that created by an American inventor, Warren Herbert Frost, who named his new musical instrument kazoo in his patent #270,543 issued on January 9, 1883. The patent states, "This instrument or toy, to which I propose to give the name 'kazoo' "..." Frost's kazoo did not look like present-day submarine-shaped kazoos. The modern kazoo—also the first one made of metal—was patented by George D. Smith of Buffalo, New York, May 27, 1902.

A collaboration between jParecki95 and myself: a kazoo/rock version of Guren No Yumiya, the first opening of the anime adaptation of Attack On Titan (進撃の巨人 - Shingeki No Kyojin). I'm sorry, I know that this isn't a video game. But since a lot of you asked for this, and that it happens to be my favorite anime/manga of all time, I thought I could give it a shot... with the help of Jonathan Parecki, an awesome and super friendly YouTuber who does rock/metal covers of anime openings/endings.

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
But I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
Well I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fucking special, special
And I wish I was special, special
But I'm a creep
But I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
Well I don't belong here
You, you,
Run, run, you run
Run, run, run, run, run, run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special, yes, you are
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
Well I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
But I'm a creep
But I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
