quite simply, it's a "portable keyboard". It's a small portable synthesizer (with keys of course) that has a handle similar to that of a guitar. The neck is usually kind of thick but still can be gripped by one hand. It may sport switches and buttons to alter the sounds being played. Keytars are convienient.
Jan Hammer of "Miami Vice" and Mahavishnu Orchestra fame glued a handle on his Probe keyboard for ease of walking around on stage while playing. This may be an example of an early keytar, but it wasn't called by that word yet.
Keytars first got notoriety in the 80s but are certainly not restricted to that decade by any means. Notable keytar players include Howard Jones AKA "Hojo", Jean Michel Jarre, the members of the Moog Cookbook and more. Hit videos by artists as diverse as Don Henley, Michael Jackson, Herbie Hancock, Janet Jackson , John Parr and even Shania Twain have featured backing musicians playing keytars.

Get the keytar mug.1. a refreshing bubbly soft drink that is loaded with jet fuel!
2. the reason why the Beatles changed the name of their epic album to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
3. said soft drink company that made a bet and did their best to weasel out of it.

1. I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper, she's a Pepper, we're a Pepper, would you like to be a Pepper too? Be a Pepper. Drink Dr. Pepper.
2. Dr. Pepper got promoted to Seargeant.
3. Last year I got to listen to the entire Guns N Roses catalog online, including the too-often-delayed long-awaited-and-overdue new album "Chinese Democracy". It's a really good album, it kicks some major ass and has a lot of diversity in the songs. Just don't take so long next time, OK fellas?
After hearing the last track there was a link taking me to "drpepper.com". Dr. Pepper made a bet: if the new GNR album was released last year then EVERYONE in America would get a free drink. There was a time limit window for this, however. You had to hit a link to register in order to get a coupon (to be printed) good for a FREE 20 oz. bottle of Dr. Pepper. I couldn't get ON there! I was on hold FOREVER. Apparently so were many other people. The corporation heads decided to "extend" the time window by a few hours. When I FINALLY got on the desired page there was a message that said that I was too late - the window of opportunity had expired by 15 minutes! Lemme see, we have over 265 million people in the United States so that would mean how many drinks...

Get the Dr. Pepper mug.1. really infantile, stupid, banal, dumbed down and insulting to the intelligence radio format, music and DJ commentary. The DJ is often a chatterbox cretin who spouts out drivel that amounts to next to nothing and the music played is so idiotic and annoying you want to smash your radio.
2. a 1984 hit song by the band Queen. It's a kind-of protest against the moronic content of radio broadcasting. It hit #1 in Holland and Sweden, #2 in the UK and Top 15 in the U.S.A.

1. All we hear is Radio Ga-Ga, Radio Goo-Goo, Radio Na-Na. All we hear is Radio Ga-Ga. Radio, what's new? Radio, someone still loves you.
2. the current sensation Lady Gaga took her moniker from this song. The irony is that she gets more attention for what she's got on (a new strange outfit every week!) and her music itself is pretty vapid and not very original. She's more style than substance. She plays Radio Ga-Ga, Radio Goo-Goo, Radio Na-Na...

Get the Radio Ga-Ga mug."caca" is Italian for "shit". "Lady Caca" is the name for Lady Gaga given by people who don't care for her music (?!!) or her constant presence in the media with some new strange outfit every week.

Get the Lady Caca mug.1. nonsence, hogwash, bilge, absolute bull, a waste of time and/or money, a sham. It's bogus - totally. Sometimes referred to as a "crock of crap" or a "crock of shit".
2. a container, such as a pot or kettle. This type of vessel is often used for cooking or washing or concocting or mixing.
3. brand name for a certain type of electric cooking pot that will cook delicious meals for during the day while you are occupied with other things. Just stir the food up every once in a while. Versatility and technology together!

1. You call yourself a Christ-i-an. I think you're a hypocrite. You call yourself a patriot. Well I say you're a crock of shit. - Mick Jagger
Take THAT, neo-cons!
2. Bubble bubble toil and trouble. The three witches in MacBeth are stirring up their gunk in a steaming crock.
3. Phillip's suculent pot roast dinner was waiting for him in the Crock Pot when he came home from work.

Get the crock mug.1. Robbie filled his motorcycle tank with gas today, he bought some doobies so he can chill out tonight and Shelley (who he met at a roadside tavern-casino on Highway 93) - well, she's his ... you know...
Gas, grass and ass.
2. On the school playground Mark had on a faded denim jacket that showed a biker with a nude chick smoking weed on a Harley hog together. The caption said "All I need is gas, grass and ass".

Get the gas, grass and ass mug.1. Julius: Oprah says-
Brutus: Who cares what Okra Windbag says? Why do you depend on these media gurus to make your mind up for you? Think for yourself.
2. In the Del Webb's High Sierra casino in Lake Tahoe, Nevada I saw an "adult" entertainment show called "Bottoms Up '87". Its jokes had 4th-grade sex humor, racist and anti-religious humor, a drag queen chopper chick karaoke of Bruce Springsteen's "Fire" (this was the best part) and a minstrel show skit called "So You Want To Be Black" featuring an "Okra Windbag" (and she was in blackface getup too!). Juvenile and dumb. I kept calling up a waitress and she kept serving me free drinks. All the dumb white trailor trash moms in the theater room ate it all up.
