In 1968, Richard Wright of Pink Floyd was involved in the recording of "Jugband Blues" from the album A Saucerful of Secrets. During the syncopated middle section, which features the Salvation Army Band of North London on brass, there is a notable use of unusual instruments by the band members, including a kazoo. While it's unclear who specifically played the kazoo on this track, it is acknowledged that Richard Wright was among the band members experimenting with such instruments during this period, as detailed by Fika.
The video shows Wilbur using a kazoo and a telecaster to sing the Earth, Wind, and Fire hit "September"
At 1:00, Joe pulls out a kazoo to play the "fiddle" part of Be Born. The original studio version had an actual fiddle solo at this part, but none of the actual band members could play a fiddle, opting to instead have Joe play it with whatever additional instrument they had at their disposal. Most often this would be a melodica, however there were other performances where Joe used a kazoo, a banjo, whistled, or simply had someone else play an actual fiddle solo.
Andy: "The demo I did on my Portastudio, I couldn't get a brass band into my bedroom, so I did it on kazoos. We couldn't get a brass band in time for the studio recording either, so we did it on Emulator with whatever discs we happened to have — not so much brass band as a mixture of various saxophones and classical horns. Dave really liked the demo's kazoos so we also put double-tracked kazoos on the brass parts."
In this live performance video, at 1:22:03, Paul can be seen playing a red Kazoo.
Kazoos are all over the Toy Dolls' albums. The example I give here is the intro to 'Deidre's a Slag' from the 'We're Mad, Sunderland, UK' video (1984). The band play the horn section melody of the 'Coronation Street' theme tune on Kazoos. These kazoos appear to be red Hohner kazoos with white caps (although Algar is not pictured playing one!)
