Comments on: FIFA Has No Sense Of Fun https://whynow.dumka.us/2010/06/16/fifa-has-no-sense-of-fun/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Thu, 17 Jun 2010 00:42:45 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2010/06/16/fifa-has-no-sense-of-fun/comment-page-1/#comment-52548 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 00:42:45 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=14907#comment-52548 Why would anyone try to play it? It’s a “drone”, single note instrument, and no more in tune than any plastic tube. You can get a note out of a vacuum cleaner tube.

It’s cheaper than an air horn and almost as loud, which is the point – get drunk and make noise at a football match. It’s not like you could compare the singing at football matches in England to an oratorio. You get the noise without having to pretend you remember the words.

I can tell you from experience that they won’t let you into a game with a brass hunting horn [the original military bugle] or any other large metal object.

The player in the video is obviously a competent player of cupped-mouthpiece instruments, but even he can’t play a true octave on the thing. It’s a noisemaker, pure and simple.
