Mpphmumph!
The Pyro's newfound musical talent

The Burning Bongos are a cosmetic item for the Pyro. They replace the Pyro's default napalm grenades with three small bongo drums, as seen in Meet the Pyro. The Burning Bongos may only be seen in-game by users who are in Pyroland.

When equipped, players are able to see in Pyrovision; map textures are replaced with those of Pyroland, gibs and pickups are replaced with their counterparts from birthday mode and low-violence mode, other players' voices become high-pitched, and all players laugh when injured or killed.
