I’ve decided to conduct a quick poll:
More annoying noise at a sporting event - Vuvuzelas or “Boomer Sooner”?

I thought it an inspiring piece for such a versatile musical instrument. I see that someone thoughtfully composed a jazz arrangement for it as well. My own inclination was to compose a Variation on the World Cup Theme (in D Minor, of course: the “saddest of all keys”) for Vuvuzela and Swinette (a legendary Appalachian instrument made from a hollowed-out pig’s ass strung with cat gut).

Seriously, I was in desperate need of humor, and this did the trick.
Man, FR is worth more to me than I can afford to pay it...

My own inclination was to compose a Variation on the World Cup Theme (in D Minor, of course: the saddest of all keys) for Vuvuzela and Swinette (a legendary Appalachian instrument made from a hollowed-out pigs ass strung with cat gut).Let's make it a fully-orchestrated arrangement, with parts for bagpipe, didjeridoo, jaw harp, and leafblower.
