Gudok
The gudok or hudok (Russian: гудок, Ukrainian: гудок) is an ancient Eastern Slavic string musical instrument, played with a bow.
A gudok usually had three strings, two of them tuned in unison and played as a drone, the third tuned a fifth higher. All three strings were in the same plane at the bridge, so that a bow could make them all sound simultaneously. Sometimes the gudok also had several sympathetic strings (up to eight) under the sounding board. These made the gudok's sound warm and rich.
The player held the gudok on his lap, like a cello or viola da gamba. It was also possible to play the gudok while standing and even while dancing, which made it popular among skomorokhs. Initially in the 12th century (and probably before), the gudok did not have a neck for pressing strings. This suggests that it was played by stopping the strings from the side with fingernails (similarly to the Byzantine lyra), rather than pressing strings onto the instrument's neck. Later in the 14th century some modifications of the gudok had a real neck for pressing strings.

Banana Man
by: Ghoti HookHe might just look a little bit kooky
But he thinks that's okay
he needs a job to pay off his mortgage and his chevrolet
If tricks you want then he ain't your person
All he does is stand
Except the time when he is running from the policeman
Ah... Ah... Ah... yeah
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
It might surprise you he went to college
And got his degree
It's hard to find a job with a major in plant psychology
His identity he tries to keep secret
But not because he's great
Cause the girls will just keep on laughing
And he'll never get a date
Ah... Ah... Ah... Yeah!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
Whoa, Oh!
Banana Man! 1 2 3!
Banana Man! I'm Banana Man!
Banana Man! Dance with me!
