Maybe I could've posted this one under movies,but I figured Music was more appropriate..so..I was watching a bit of "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" on TV,and realised Gert Frobe's German Officer Character was beatboxing a marching tune to himself as he was walking along! This Movie's from the '60's..(1965),so Beatboxing has been around for quite a while...any more examples you can think of?

I think may be it started after few years when Hip Hop music was originated. It was then only when people started making beats, started rhyming and started to beat box. I have not watched this movie, I think I should watch it. I am crazy about Hip Hop, so you know.

It'd be a classic Brit comedy movie,about the early days of flying,and an international competition to fly from England to France..the beatboxing thing was only this one Character,part of a gag about this Soldier giving himself some sounds to march by..
