It's Halloween, and it seems like The Rocky Horror Picture Show has been in the air, what with the Glee Rocky Horror episode and all. So today you get me playing the ukulele. It's a video from a couple years back of me covering Science Fiction Double Feature. Happy Halloween!!!
On this snowy, rainy Saturday morning, I asked my wife what song she would like to hear performed on the ukulele. She said that she would like to hear something by The Talking Heads. Well, it just so happens that The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain do an outstanding cover of the song, Psycho Killer. So that is your Uke Bab Video of the Day. Enjoy!
And another weekend is nearly here! Yay!!! And how shall we celebrate this Friday afternoon? With a very lovely cover of Bob Dylan's, Don't Think Twice It's All Right, by Sophie Madeleine. Have a great weekend!
Selecting ukulele videos can, at times, be quite a challenge. It's amazing how many otherwise great videos are ruined because the volume is way to low or else the artist decides to go on a long, rambling monologue before ever getting around to playing the song. It's a shame because a lot of those videos might otherwise have made the cut. Today, I've weeded through a ton of such videos. So it was with great relief that I stumbled upon today's Video of the Day. I hope you enjoy Cassandra from California doing an amazing job with Jewel's, Who Will Save Your Soul. Happy Thursday!
Have you ever seen the old Monty Python movie, The Meaning of Life? If you answered yes, then you will likely recall The Galaxy Song. It's one of Eric Idle's great little ditties, performed very nicely here today on ukulele by a man who's known only as, This Penguin. Enjoy!
Oingo Boingo is one of those bands. I know the name. I know that some people really love them. But somehow I've never gotten around to checking them out. This ukulele video may change that. I stumbled upon it quite by accident and was very pleasantly surprised. I don't know what I was expecting an Oingo Boingo song to sound like. Maybe like rubber bands and pogo sticks. But, We Close Our Eyes, is a very sweet, melancholy song. And Theresa does a great job with it. Enjoy!
Happy Monday. Damn, I need a shower. Stinky stinky. But before I do that I must give you your Uke Bab Vid of the Day. This one is from Swedish artist, Elvira Bira. It's a loud, energetic, ukulele cover of the Jefferson Airplane song, White Rabbit. Unfortunately, the sound quality is not too good. They must have been playing pretty loudly and it was too much for the little video camera condenser microphone. But even with the distortion, I like this video a lot. It really kicks ass.
