On their second album, “So Much 2 Say,” Take 6 has this incredible novelty track. It is awesome. Here, listen to it:
“Use an instrument–go to jail. That’s the law.” Ha ha! I love it!
I am an a cappella freak. I freely admit.
Anyway, dissing the organ recently on Facebook made me think of this Take 6 track, and some other great instrument jokes. I think I’ll try to offend some other instrumentalists to kind of spread things out from just offending organists.
Let me get this out of the way first though: the bagpipes. Really, wouldn’t even considering them an instrument be absurd flattery?!

The human voice- sound generated by forced air across stretchy cords by air flow and muscular manipulation– an instrument of sorts. When someone sounds bad you can’t knock it out of their hands. The only plus.

Bagpipes (noun) – “I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made object never equalled the purity of sound achieved by the pig.” (Supposedly a quote by Alfred Hitchcock)
