Re: World Cup Super Thread!
There are fans of certain college basketball teams that at home games will voice a constant AHHHHHHHHHH or OHHHHHHHHHH every time the visiting team has the ball. That's about on equal ground as the vuvuzela's, as far as I'm concerned. Oh, and Dick Vitale.

Choral music is fine. Horn orchestras suck.
Re: World Cup Super Thread!
Of course it needs a professional horn blower to get more pleasing sounds from a vuvuzela:

My bet for England - Germany is 1:3 btw. And of course we'll win the tourney. If not, I'll blame Word.

Re: World Cup Super Thread!
I spoke not of choral music. I'm speaking of a constant, atonal droning that is the vocal equivalent of the vuvuzelas. Here's a minor example, all I could come up with in 15 seconds of searching. It's very subdued here since it's a neutral court in the tourney, but you hear them every time UNCONN (the guys in grey) has the ball. Imagine it multiplied tenfold. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ugl6zhDZkoTitanoboa wrote:Choral music is fine. Horn orchestras suck.

Re: World Cup Super Thread!
