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.

This song makes me want to dance, despite the work that awaits me tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn .
And I especially want to dance because of the berimbau. LOVE that thing! (Thanks for the background info and pictures!)

"Berimbau"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The berimbau is a single-string percussion instrument, a musical bow, from Brazil. The berimbau's origins are not entirely clear, but there is not much doubt on its African origin, as no Indigenous Brazilian or European people use musical bows, and very similar instruments are played in the southern parts of Africa. The berimbau was eventually incorporated into the practice of the Brazilian martial art capoeira, where it commands how the capoeiristas move in the roda. The instrument is known for being the subject matter of a popular song by Brazilian guitarist Baden Powell, with lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes. The instrument is also a part of Candomblé-de-caboclo tradition.

There's an insistent striped shirt official there too, blowing his whistle like mad.

That's called a berimbau and it actually is a pretty cool instrument |

I'm being told it's called an "electric monkey". I think I'm being taken for a fool... |

Yeah, maybe they have the ensemble from STOMP doing backup percussions! Including the straw in the cup (yeah, it's in the STOMP show). |

Definitely not as cool as the Ruben Blades song preceeding it, but still better than the average rating, IMHO. Great set, Bill! |
