I hate Amy Winehouse. Her and her rich boyfriend can go fuck off and die for all i care. In fact, I do care, and I hope they do die.
I almost hate them as much as I hate that worthless twat with the hat.
BUT…
I have to admit that THIS is a cracking tune, and i DO like it.
Also…
a) It is easy to play on the Uke,
b) Its a track people recognise, and will have a little sing along with.
c) Everytime you play it, Amy Winehouse dies a little bit inside (hopefully)

23 Feb 08 I used to know a bitch named Eric Wright
er….
This is a cover of a Ben Folds cover of a Dr Dre track. If you have delicate sensibilities I think you’d be best not clicking, but if you like cussin’ n’ shit, then click ahead 
Bitches ain’t shit – Dr Dre/Ben Folds
In all honestly, I cant play this all the way thought yet. But if you play the first couple of verses in company, you will definately get a reaction!
You’ll either be surrounded by laughter, or your Uke will have been smashed into a thousand pieces by an angry mob – lets hope its the former 
If you’re still unsure – heres Ben Folds’ performing it at a ‘myspace’ gig Nashville.

Incidentally, i LOVE the fact that there are loads of fans in the audience playing along with him, I guess this is the same kind of thing JoCo was trying to do, but with Ukes

Smokey & the Bandit is ace – 100% FACT!
The theme tune to Smokey & the Bandit is ace – 100% FACT!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpZ6b1myvAw
The song was recorded by the Jerry Reed, the bloke who played “Snowman” in the film, and it got to Number 2 in 1977. In my opinion its the best song about transfering large amounts of illegal booze across America that ive ever heard.
East Bound and Down – Jerry Reed
And thats a big 10-4!!

16 Feb 08 My feelings are more important than yours
I added this to Ukulele Hunt’s new Chord Depository ‘Uker Hunt’ the other day, and i thought i might as well stick it up here now.
Its a nice little uke version of Razorblade -my favourite track of The Strokes’ third album, ‘First Impressions of Earth’
In other news, thanks to Al over at Ukulele Hunt for a mention this site on his Friday Links post. And hello & welcome to anyone who’s been intrigued enough to stumble over. If you know of any songs about game playing robot-monkeys – give me a shout?

13 Feb 08 Zanzibar!!
Well, you could buy cards, flowers, chocolates, diamond rings or a sports cars for your loved one this Valentines day, or you could take Zyms advice, and go with something a just a little bit classier….
This is a song for the Ukuleleladies,
But Ukulelefellas, listen closely…
Its a pretty straight forward song, if you’re feeling fancy and want to show off, you could try and work out some kind of fingerpicking arrangement. The only slightly tricky bit is the end, but by then your loved one will be so impressed by you high pitched wailing, that they wont really notice!
There are plently of cover versions of this on youtube if you dont know what this sounds like, including this uke version from the Ukulele Cabaret.

08 Feb 08 Hey, Hay Hay
When building websites or designing pages containing large amounts of print, its often useful to use random text to give you an impression of how the final layout will look. The classic piece of text you often see used for this job is called Lorem Ipsum, and it looks like this…
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Nunc lorem. Fusce eu justo. Nam id leo. Pellentesque ac metus quis tortor eleifend imperdiet. Vestibulum eu nibh. Cras cursus vestibulum purus. Vestibulum hendrerit, eros id faucibus suscipit, augue pede condimentum sem, eget tempus sapien diam ac nulla. Aenean viverra mauris eget nulla. Vestibulum pharetra pretium nunc. Nulla euismod rutrum nunc. Curabitur pretium, justo lobortis commodo tempus, diam sapien iaculis mi, non ultrices tortor ante at eros.
When i build websites and need some words, I prefer to use this Automatic Text Generator. While using it the other day, it generated a paragraph of text that rocketed me straight back to my childhood….
I never spend much time in school but I taught ladies plenty. It’s true I hire my body out for pay, hey hey. I’ve gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs, blown up for Raquel Welch. But when I end up in the hay it’s only hay, hey hey. I might jump an open drawbridge, or Tarzan from a vine. ‘Cause I’m the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine.
Yay – The Fall Guy!!
I used to LOVE that programme, and also used to LOVE the theme tune. (If you dont know what im talking about to can see the opening credits here.)
The song was written by Glen A Larson, (who also wrote and produced the show) and was performed by Lee Majors. According to Wiki, the song is now considered a minor classic in countries such as Germany!!
In fact, i love the theme tune so much that i decided that i had to get hold of the chords so i could play it on my Uke.
So with what i hope to be the first of many ukulele versions of songs to appear on this site, i present…
The Unknown Stuntman (Theme from The Fall Guy) - Lee Majors
You’ll have to play round with the “C-B-A-G-F-G-C-A” bit at the end of each chorus in order to get it to fit to the words. I *think* that its right :\
PRO TIP: Make sure you have someone else in the room who can do the ‘Hay-Hay’ bit in the last verse
