15 Feb 11 Ukulele Chords: Short People – Randy Newman/WIUO
As you know, I love the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra. I almost love them as much as i love Bret McKenzie. Randy Newman, i can take or leave, tbh, especially all the mawkish stuff. BUT, this video of the WIUO performing Short People is GREAT
Ive NO IDEA what Bret is playing in the clip – it doesnt even look like hes tuned to GCEA! But ive tried to come up with a version that easy to play, and you can argue amongst yourself over whether it should be a B7 or Bm7!
Short People – Randy Newman/WIUO
The problem of course, is that whenever anyone mentions Randy Newman – i can’t help but to think of “Randy Newman singing about what he sees”

- @theaardvark @dazwright you can get a kermit backpack if you get the codes from cavendale milk. How can lactavists compete against this!

- Tbh, im not sure under what circumstances someone would decide that they wanted to put a picture of themselves breastfeeding on facebook?
- @le3ky :D
- @le3ky oh, if it was just malt loaf, it would indeed be living the dream ;-)

You bastard! I had this one prepared and ready to go.
Bret’s playing a baritone.
dont worry Al, no one ever comes here!
and more importantly Bm7 or B7?
I went with B7. But I’m not sure it’s right.
[...] also uses plenty of jazzy chords. Which sound nice but can be tricky to figure out. Andy did a version of this which differs a little from mine. So compare, contrast and decide which chords you want to [...]
Hey there – pretty sure it’s B7. At 0:28 you can see him form what would be an E7 on Soprano, but is a B7 on baritone uke. =)
You mean I could have procrastinated even longer?!
