Macon, Georgia went for a kazoo world record on Friday. 1,780 people turned out to break the record for largest kazoo ensemble, but it wasn’t enough. They needed about three times that many. The record is 5,190, set in London in 2011.
It’s the third time Macon has tried and FAILED to break the record. No one knows for sure who invented the kazoo. But the most popular theory is a former slave from Macon came up with it around 1840. So it’s known as the birthplace of the kazoo.
Here are some clips from Friday. Kind of ironic: A reporter covered it while they were in the middle of playing the song “Bitter Sweet Symphony“.
