1,780 People in Georgia Went for a Kazoo World Record

Macon, Georgia went for a kazoo world record on Friday. 1,780 people turned out to break the record for largest kazoo ensemble, but it wasn’t enough. They needed about three times that many. The record is 5,190, set in London in 2011. The good news is, they had fun doing it.

It’s the third time Macon has tried to break the record. No one knows for sure who invented the kazoo, but the most popular theory is a former slave from Macon came up with it around 1840. So it’s known as the birthplace of the kazoo.
