Oct 16 2008Guy Plays The Final Countdown On KazooKeylele, Surprisingly Doesn't Suck Ass
A KazooKeylele is a kazoo, baby keyboard, and ukulele. And this is a guy playing Europe's The Final Countdown on one. I was pretty impressed. And, as was evident by the tagging in the video, we can go see him live this weekend.
to see this in action live im going to be busking sat 18th, at 3.00pm, on the royal mile, outside st giles, in Edinburgh. please come along.
Ha, for a second there I thought that said please come alone. Which, sadly, is the story of my life. Ladies?
Thanks to Cheffrey, who plays a violipianoboe on the street corner for tips.

5. Mr.Mitchell - October 16, 2008 6:25 PM
That kid rocks so hard he had to lock himself in the room to protect him from all the screaming KazooKeylele fans.
And really green lasers?
6. Mr.Mitchell - October 16, 2008 6:26 PM
Also I meant " And really, green lasers?

9. Daisy - October 16, 2008 6:36 PM
Fake!
That couldn't be faker if it was a cartoon.
The shadows are all f***ed up, and nobody could ever admit to looking like that, even if he was from europe. I don't know how he did it, probably with Photoshop.
10. Benjamin Tudino - October 16, 2008 6:37 PM
I bet he plays the cockballBH too.
11. El Basto - October 16, 2008 6:41 PM
My head just exploded... it couldn't handle the bare concept of orange laser PEW PEW PEW!
Also, this is worthy of Apolo Creed.
12. JaC - October 16, 2008 6:46 PM
If he'd applied that time and energy to learning the regular guitar he'd be getting laid at least 10x more. I'm not definite about that math, but I'm sure it's more than his current average.
13. Gizmoduck - October 16, 2008 6:53 PM
I get to drink beer at my job.
and SHOTS

PEW PEW PEW

15. Mike Hawk - October 16, 2008 7:09 PM
Totally Fake, this is a blatant photoshop over the theme song from Never Back Down.
16. TetraShiva@hotmail.com - October 16, 2008 7:13 PM
Sometimes something is so embarrassing that it hurts to watch...
...this somehow transcended that, and I couldn't look away.
Wow.
17. Elmo - October 16, 2008 7:39 PM
holy shit, when he started to sing.... holy shit
.....hooooooly shiiiiiiiit what the hell did I just watch?!?!!!!!
18. Elmo - October 16, 2008 7:53 PM
.......I'm disturbed.......
19. I'm a Computer - October 16, 2008 7:55 PM
I was told this would not suck. I would like some money and a portion of my life back. Oh, what's that? I'm not getting either? Fine then. I'll be back tomorrow for more. Good day to you good sirs and trannies.
20. Hunter - October 16, 2008 7:57 PM
That is QUITE a receding hair line!!!
21. Konkey Dong - October 16, 2008 7:58 PM
@10 lol. Oh man, I can just see how someone would play the cockballBH. All trombone-like using your forefinger to adjust BH pluggage whilst tugging the kiwi coin purse... oh lord, i'll be laughing for weeks.
22. Kyle - October 16, 2008 8:20 PM
Awesome. That didn't suck, but I wouldn't bother to see it live.
Anyone else hate how many of those damn annotations people are putting in their videos? This one wasn't so bad, at least...
23. Mr.Mitchell - October 16, 2008 8:49 PM
I think you will all appreciate this video of a little something called "Show me your genitals". He blows this kid out of the water.

@12 - I bet you realized 10x0 = 0 when you posted your asinine comment.
I'd say his best bet for sex is saving his money and paying for it.

It appears only total douche bags who keep in touch with internet meme's, who have great hair cuts, who play cooler instruments (there is nothing cooler than that IMO), and who get laid every day browse this blog.
29. Dash - October 17, 2008 12:42 AM
oh god this is the funniest shit ever! Who gives a stuff if it's fake? this is ENTERTAINMENT kiddies.
30. Kent - October 17, 2008 1:02 AM
Why does this fag stick out his tongue when making the "L" sound?
31. Gizmoduck - October 17, 2008 1:31 AM
why does everyone insist on repeating "venus" in this song.
you really don't have to.

32. Braticus - October 17, 2008 1:34 AM
People who don't get laid, are extremely talented. I don't know what that correlation is about.
33. LSDiesel - October 17, 2008 2:02 AM
@32, I guess semen has brain strands in it.
34. ali - October 17, 2008 2:48 AM
sad thing is...this guy probably get's laid more than i do.
35. Muryu - October 17, 2008 3:23 AM
im so gonna see this guy, only a 30 minute train journey and a walk up a really steep hill away, then i can throw pennies at him!!
36. assbastard - October 17, 2008 6:01 AM
AMAZING!!!!
I live in Edinburgh and will be free tomorrow at 3pm! I'm so going to go and upstage him with my double-banjeridoo.
37. Haas - October 17, 2008 6:52 AM
I think this guy is also a first poster.
38. Ginge - October 17, 2008 8:22 AM
I'm so going to see him tomorrow, he's busking like 15 minutes away from my house, and he's also busking in other places in edinburgh, judging by his youtube link. And for those who say it's fake. He's been in the Fringe Festival for the past 3 years, he plays guitar as well. So yeah. Probably not fake.
39. Mike - October 17, 2008 8:28 AM
Are you kidding? This is terrible.
40. Foobar - October 17, 2008 8:28 AM
@38 - You are so gullible. Just because its on the internet doesn't mean its true. remember, "probably not fake" also means "possibly fake".
41. Thumperchica - October 17, 2008 8:47 AM
GOOD MORNING!!!!
42. Douchie Mc Bagman - October 17, 2008 8:50 AM
Its interesting that he needs to read the words off his computer. Hopefully he will have them memorized by the big show this weekend.
43. bigjerm - October 17, 2008 10:03 AM
where is gob? shouldn't he be dancing around with a knife in his mouth and playing cards in his hands?
44. Gizmoduck - October 17, 2008 10:11 AM
Foobar in East Nashville is pretty rad
45. Sharpie - October 17, 2008 10:11 AM
holly shit!, lmao! i couldn't even watch the whole thing. the second he opend his mouth and started singing i thought. he cant be f***ing serious. but he was!. hahaha wow did i just see that?
46. butterbee - October 17, 2008 10:50 AM
That's exactly the talent that DOES get you laid backstage after the show by some hottie indierock chick. I'm not sure what pre-ironic world y'all are living in... Italy?
47. I'm a Computer - October 17, 2008 11:07 AM
Alright, i'll agree that it takes a certain degree of talent to do this. But "That's exactly the talent that DOES get you laid"?? i think not, my friend. For the mere talent to do something surely couldn't make up for his lesbianic hairdue, his jack black/rosie o'donnell face, or his awkward demeenor. But Ginge(38), flip him a quarter or pound or whatever for me. And tell him California wants him here so we can laugh at him in person. Then put him on tv and give him a makeover where some asshat wearing as asshat and aviator goggles and some mexican dude with ^this kid's haircut will show him how to pick up ladies. Are you still reading this?
48. My Taint Itches - October 17, 2008 11:11 AM
This dude must get MAD pussy!
I think his mouth is sexy, sexy like hes ejaculating and shitting and having a heart attack at the same time.
I want to sleeve my foreskin over the tip of his cock and jack him off with it.
I also want to eat his taint.
Spread that new Axe chocolate all over his balls, ass and taint and try to win a pie eating contest!
MEAT JACKERS!
49. Thumperchica - October 17, 2008 11:15 AM
@48 - That made me squirt.
50. Jayfournines - October 17, 2008 11:17 AM
-takes notes on how to score-
51. Thumperchica - October 17, 2008 11:51 AM
*side note - imposterererer (or whichever imposter you were) - I haven't ever "squirted" PFFBBBBT
52. Sharpie - October 17, 2008 11:57 AM
@51 maybe I can be the first to make you do that ;)
53. Jazzman - October 17, 2008 12:23 PM
Wait what!?!
Some ppl have way too much time!!!
54. Rebecca - October 17, 2008 12:47 PM
I MISS ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. :[
55. bigjerm - October 17, 2008 12:51 PM
@54, just take a xanotab, and you'll feel better.
56. Mr.Mitchell - October 17, 2008 12:53 PM
The office is better anyway...Face the facts Jack. And by Jack, I mean Rebecca
57. hmm - October 17, 2008 1:20 PM
I was really into it untill he started singing, that just turned me off.
F***!
58. My Taint Itches - October 17, 2008 1:29 PM
Hey Sharpie, you better stop hitting on my girl, I will whoop your ass biotch!
Besides, I made her squirt first PEW PEW PEW
I will catch it all in my mouth.
One time I made my girlfriend cum just by touching and rubbing her nipples.
i was probably grinding my hard meat into her back, but she liked it.
Hey thumper, send me some dirty pics so I can sleeve myself.
HOLLATCHABOI!
59. Mike Hawk - October 17, 2008 1:37 PM
When this guy is at his gig, I'll be Busking his mom. She plays the organ like no other.
60. Thumperchica - October 17, 2008 2:48 PM
@58 - If you'd already done that to me, why would you need dirty pics?
61. My Taint Itches - October 17, 2008 3:01 PM
I need dirty pics so I can sleeve myself.
Would you rather squirt once and have me lick it up, or would you rather squirt 7 times and have me lick it up?
Lets be honest, well smoke some dope, I'll eat your ass, and you'll probably have the wildest, hottest, hardest night of your life.
I'll even cook dinner.
True story.
62. Thumperchica - October 17, 2008 3:03 PM
I don't smoke dope...
and how is it possible your taint still itches?
63. My Taint Itches - October 17, 2008 3:10 PM
The funny part about it is that was the only thing you said no to... but I bet I can get you to take a little puff... worse case scenario you will just get a contact high.
come on, its much more erotic that way. I promise.
And at this point, my name has become my identity.
i suppose I should have started with one that could be longer lasting, but lets face it, its great.
64. Davo - October 17, 2008 3:18 PM
That was Jack Black awesomeness.
65. Thumperchica - October 17, 2008 3:26 PM
@63 - Oh yeah, I forgot - NO, I'm not that kinda girl!
(did anyone buy that?)
66. My Taint Itches - October 17, 2008 3:31 PM
So are you saying I can still lick your ass then?
I get to leave early from work now.
you know that that means right bitches?
TIME TO SLEEVE MYSELF!!
Thumper, I expect to see some dirty pics or a video in my email when I get home.
I'll take pictures of my explosion and send them to you via FTP.
67. The Dingo - October 17, 2008 10:18 PM
I'm so like a day to late but that kid is f***ing great he's so serious that shit was so funny!!!
68. Sara - October 18, 2008 12:15 AM
I worked on the mile during the fringe this year and this dude and his friend were in a 'band' there. He didn't shower the entire month of august and has since had a haircut.
69. Tenchi059 - October 18, 2008 4:22 AM
KazooKeylele. This is pure genius.
70. Ginge - October 18, 2008 11:32 AM
£5 well spent to get him to do it once more. That was actually surprisingly good, although he did have the lyrics at his feet. I told him to go to america by the way, lots of people there wanted to see him, to which, (I think he said) "Yeah, I'll maybe give that a go."
Who knows?
71. Stuart Crout kazookeylele guy - October 18, 2008 11:41 PM

guys, if you're going to sing a cover song, without the vocal effects tht they used in the studio, don't try to emulate the effects with your voice.
"we're heading to venus, venus venus.." is not the way it should be done. it should be one line and the effects are just missing at that point. do it YOUR way. not the way you heard it on the radio.
just a pet peve...
