Install an "OOGA!" horn?

Since I can't afford a train horn, nor do I have a place to install a compressor or tank. Instead, I'm opting for a novelty, inexpensive "AHOOGA!" horn. I found one on ebay for around $40, and I submitted a best offer (the guy has 30 of them) for a bit cheaper. Can I wire this up to a pushbutton switch? I don't want to wire it to my current horn switch, but rather a pushbutton in the ashtry or similar. Can I just wire it to a 12v line and then to a simple momentary switch? Or do I need something special?

Hehe, I got rid of the junk horn on my bike and put one on that's easily as loud as a car horn. 130db.
