Hi Proclivities,

It is a real "jaw harp" on "Devil May Care" not a sound effect.

The song was used on Michael Mann's short lived but highly regarded TV series for HBO, "Luck", starring Dustin Hoffman, Nick Nolte, Dennis Farina, John Ortiz, Michael Gambon and Jill Hennessy. "Devil May Care" was also used by Oprah Winfrey on her show featuring cancer survivor and New York Times best selling author and wellness activist, Kriss Carr.

Regards,

Well, thanks for the info on "Luck"!!  So many fabulous actors that I am compelled to search for it on my streaming services.  Looking forward to hearing your song there.

That instrument is called a "jaw harp" or more controversially: a "Jew's harp".  It's a pretty ancient instrument - I still have one somewhere.  I can't tell if they're actually using one in this tune or if  they're employing some electronic sound effect.

Cool song. People may think I am nuts. But I am a Peanuts fanatic and the beginning instrument reminds me of when Snoopy goes away and is on the bus - he takes out his suitcase and about the only thing in it is this little instrument. He rides along making this music. Am I the only person who remembers that? :-)

For me, Bill can do no wrong - aside from playing stuff by that ick, Ray LeMontainge. Eeeuuuuw.

Well, possibly because you are mistaken - about Ray that is {#Roflol}

Yeah, my grandfather had one of those, and I chipped a tooth playing it back when I was a kid.

Jaw harp and juice harp are both, to my knowledge, commonly used alternatives. I don't think the name "jew's harp" even has anything to do with Jews. Apparently it's called a "ooz-komuz" in Kyrgyzstan, which is a much better name. Sounds more onomatopoetic, anyway.

Next it'll be "western europe horn" instead of french horn. Where will it all end?

The song is "Join Together", and they both feature jaw harps right at the beginning, though the Who use it through out, and the playing is better, IMHO.
Couldn't help but notice, the jaw harps run all the way through on this song as well. And if you think that's nitpicking, tack a look at the above post.

I thought this was Luther Write and the Wrongs at first. Which, if you get the chance, check out their cover of Floyd's Another Brink in the Wall with a country overtone. Wicked. Luther Write and the Wrongs
