No, you know, "We are we are (wahh wahh) the youth of the nation"

What instrument plays that? I think it might be a muted trumpet or such like.

Nope, it's Al. Trust me. Even on the Disturbed song, it's the lead singer making that sound.

Oh, I thought you were talking about "Down with the Sickness". If it's "Youth of a Nation", it's probably a muted trumpet, then. That would fall under sounds that are pre-recorded used in concert, because they can't be done live. At least, not with the band members available. Carry on.

You ALL misunderstood me!

It goes like this: (bold is the mystery instrument. Voice counts too, BTW)

Wah wah wah wahhhh wa
We're the renegades of Funk!
We're the renegades of funk!
Wah wah wah waaaa wa

Sorry if I made everyone confused.

Hmm, maybe I should listen again.

sorry.

Patti

It probably still is a trumpet. *After listening* Yup, that's what it is, a muted trumpet. Lots of trumpet in the polka medley, btw. I like it!
