Possible uses for the microphone.

[newwaytodie]

As everyone knows, the mic from RB is going to have multi-functionality. (ie cowbell on don't fear)

But I have been trying to think of other songs that could use this feature. I was listening to last.fm and heard a Bowie song with this in it:

I don't even remember what it is called, but basically you scrape the side with a stick. I remember it from 2nd grade music class, you did not want to be the kid who got this. It sucked.

Then of course there are these:

I'm plenty happy with cowbell, but the more the merrier I suppose.

Tambourine
Slap Stick
Vibra-slap
Cowbell ( isn't that the drummer's job?)
Clave
Castanets (what song is going to have castanets?)
Glasspiece (for lowering scores)
EGGSHAKER!

I can't think of anymore. and one of those isn't even a musical instrument.

Haahah that would be awesome, haha Mic = Maracas hahaha, or a triangle

I've never seen a singer hold a cowbell in my life. Probably because it IS the drummers job. I think what we're looking for is tambourine or maracas, maybe?

If you watch some of the videos, the singer hits the mic against her leg like a tambourine while she's not singing.

I think I've seen one of those, I have no clue how to spell it, but it's pronounced g-heero or something.

All I can think of that hasn't been mentioned is the woodblock.
