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).

Let's make it a fully-orchestrated arrangement, with parts for bagpipe, didjeridoo, jaw harp, and leafblower.
