Indeed the mouth sounds are called eefing. Music made by slapping one's body, usually leg and torso is called Hambone.

 

Speaking of bones. Anyone want to hazzard a guess as to what Roy's lyrics

"You ought to see Deacon Jones when he rattles his bones"

refers to?

 

That's Right, Decaon Jones is playing an instrument only slightly more sophisticated, and therefore more expensive, than hamboning; Bones. Two beef rib bones held on one hand and clacked together to the music like a tambourine. There are a few tutorials on YouTube for learning to play bones.
