This is when an automatic weapon comes in handy.

That sharp sound really cuts to the bone.

I'd guess that the recording's sound isn't good as a musical say can be very harp-like when done well. But, in case it isn't then a 12gague is a handy tool to have around.

Off-key! Off-key!

You know, one person could accomplish all that sound with one theremin (which is a word,thank you very much Google spell-checker).

I never learned how to play one; I'll just wait until Activision releases Theremin Hero for the Xbox, or something.

Well, I had to look up Theremin and based on the description from dictionary.com, I decided that I had to see one ... I think the third image in my google results list qualifies as WU content. What IS she doing??

Nethie, the third image accurately reflects the effect that playing a theremin well will have on your many groupies. Ladies just go crazy for a leopard-print-tights wearing theremin-playing rock star.
