Happy Season to you, you live in UU, you look like a monkey, you strum like one too!
This week we're doing primates! Have a banana smoothie and enjoy!
These Are Your Song Options:
1. Any song with a non-human primate in the title: monkey, gorilla, ape, baboon, lemur, tarsier, etc.
2. A song that is significantly about non-human primates. It is not enough to just mention a primate in passing. Examples: "I Wanna Be Like You" from Jungle Book or Bow Wow Wow's "King Kong" are okay. "The Unicorn Song" ("humpty backed camels and chimpanzees") and Genesis' "Tonight Tonight Tonight" ("I'm coming down like a monkey") are not okay.
3. A song by the Monkees, Arctic Monkeys, or Gorillaz. Only these three.
4. "I like to move it, move it" from Madagascar is okay. Just because I like it.
Rules:
• The video must be a new video recorded for this contest.
• This time around, I'm going to say okay to multitracking. Seasonistas produce some amazing videos and I don't want to stand in the way of genius. But I want to see you playing ukulele in the video. Don't hide behind a bunch of Jane Goodall footage. I'm more interested in seeing your performance. At least have a decent-sized inset box in the picture that shows you performing the song.
• The video must say at the beginning that it is for the 112th Season of the Ukulele. If you forget to say it before your best take of the song, it is okay to insert a short separate video clip or title placard that says this.
• Videos must be posted to this thread. Do not post any until midnight tonight Hawaii time.
• The contest ends at midnight Hawaiian time on Sunday night, April 13.
• Each person/duet/trio can make one official entry for the week. I will consider your first video your official entry unless you tell me otherwise.
• You can make as many bonus tracks as you want. Bonus tracks can have lip synching, rapid-fire edits, defy the laws of physics, whatever.
• On working days, I will only be able to watch videos in the evening, eastern U.S. time. So that will be when I'm commenting on the videos. If we have one of those weeks with over 100 videos, it may take me more than a day to get to all the bonus tracks. But I made sure to do my taxes promptly this year so I'd have my time free this week.
Judging:
Three winners will be chosen randomly. Each person who submits an eligible entry will get
one entry in the drawing. The prizes will be T-shirts and the like. I will have another option for people who don't like to wear T-shirts.
