A simple Jonathan Coulton song for you this week. Its just G, C & D – yay!

Its hard to explain on the chordsheet, but basically the intro & and vamp is 1 bar of G, 1/2 bar of C, 1/2 bar of G, 1/2 bar of G, 1/2 bar of D, 1 bar of G.

If you dont know how it goes, Youtube user ‘spiffworld’ has made a fantastic ‘World of Warcraft’ Machinanima video for the song.

I love Half Man Half Biscuit. I would say that this track is one of my favourites were it not for the fact that there are about 20 songs that i would consider ‘favourites’

I actually think this is the first HMHB ukulele cover on youtube – yay! go me

The light at the end of the tunnel is the light of an oncoming train – Half Man Half Biscuit

The chords for this are on Chordie, and ive transposed them to the key of ‘C’ – which means its just C, F & G7

I mess it up at one stage, but with a big enough bucket I might one day be able to carry a tune

edit/
yay!!!!!!! Ive been ‘ukehunted’

11 Aug 08 Ukutele?

Having been tipped off of their existance by Al at ukehunt I see that Strings Direct are sell not only ‘Les paul’ shaped ukuleles, but also ‘Telecaster’ ukes

Les Paul

This would be almost identical to my Guitar Hero ‘controller’ – Mrs Zym would never know until it was too late, MUHAHAHA!!!

Telecaster

Its just a pity that the telecaster doesnt have a plate on it, but i am STILL very tempted. In fact for £32-£35, i would be a fool not to

10 Aug 08 Fire insurance for ladybugs

Hello,

Long time no post. Im spending nearly all of my spare time entertaining a giant baby at the moment, so what better way to keep Zym 2.0 (and me & Mrs Zym) amused than with a bit of classic Sesame Street!!

LadyBugs Picnic – Sesame Street

The song is currently being used on a british TV advert for Heinz, but over at ilovefizzypop towers I like to keep things ‘old school’…

(unfortunately my pc died recently and ive only just go round to replacing it. I havent managed to (ahem) aquire of a copy of MS office as yet, so the chords to this were done on Google Docs which, to be fair, seems rather good, and has the advantage of being able to save files straight to PDF – nice)
