Songs That Feature A Kazoo

Inspired by this thread

Have their ever been any hit songs, (and I know that’s a relative term) or any other songs that have featured a kazoo?

I can’t recall any, but I’m pretty tone deaf. I may be hearing a kazoo and not know it.

I guess it doesn’t have to be a kazoo solo but one where the kazoo can be clearly heard

I’m pretty sure I’ve heard one in a song by Beck on Mellow Gold, Steal My Body Home perhaps?

Enter Kazoo Man: Metallica Enter Sandman performed on KAZOO by Mister Tim (multitrack)

San Francisco Bay Blues from Eric Clapton’s Unplugged.

The Beat Farmers’ Happy Boy features both a kazoo break and a gargling solo.

I certainly wouldn’t call it a “hit song” though… maybe a cult classic.

Jewish Princess by Frank Zappa

Love Rollercoaster by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The kazoo chorus is most noticeable coming in around 1.20 minutes.

I Love Onions
UT

You’re 16 (right title?) Ringo Starrs version.

Thanks, and how could I have missed Ringo Starr’s, You’re Sixteen.

Keep 'em coming :slight_smile:

Hit song:

Country Joe & the Fish, “I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ to Die Rag”

Not so hit songs:

Pink Floyd, “Corporal Clegg”
Mothers of Invention, “Hungry Freaks, Daddy” and “Who Are the Brain Police” (the latter featuring the most chilling kazoo solo ever)

Not an actual kazoo, but the Beatles’ “Lovely Rita” features comb and paper.

“I’m the Urban Spaceman” by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band reached #5 on the UK charts.

Just about everything Weird Al did in his early days

Also this list is pretty good

Jimi Hendrix Crosstown Traffic

How about one of my all time favourites?

Runaway by Del Shannon. Wait a minute; that is a kazoo, isn’t it?

The solo? That’s a Clavioline.

Thank you! Live and learn . . . (well, live).

Hit:

“Johnny Get Angry” Joanie Sommers, 1962

Non-Hit:

“You’re Probably Wondering Why I’m Here” Zappa/Mothers

Don’t forget the ineffable Temple City Kazoo Orchestra.
