From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The berimbau is the highly annoying screeching sound a McDonald's milkshake straw creates when a user is trying to suck its contents dry and moves the straw up and down quickly in the hole in the lid. Many localities have recorded homicides and attempted homicides as a result of frequent playing of the berimbnau. Some recording artists have found favor with the ability to annoy listeners while at the same time quickly enjoying a milkshake.
Sorry about the blank post earlier...boss in proximity...
What I meant to say is that the berimbau doesn't sound anything like a Micky D's milkshake straw. That instrument is, in fact, a "guica"...
and it can be heard on Bob Marley's "Could You
Be Loved".
