Today's plastic ones stink. They don't vibrate well at all. I got my first one on the day before Halloween of my 3rd grade year (yes, I do remember that precisely!) and I graced the neighborhood with every tune I had ever heard. I also took it trick or treating with me but was so busy collecting candy that year that I didn't have time to play it until we were on our way home. We collected massive candy that year, but I digress. Like I told you before, I tend to do that when reminiscing. Sorry. If you haven't played a metal kazoo, you haven't played a kazoo at all.
