Merle. 1967. Played bass on this song a thousand times, but never tired to sing it, or pick out the lead part before.

Ooh! I have bell bottoms!!! Great theme, Linda! I shall, of course, find this VERY challenging, since, being British, and, therefore, very formal, I would never address anyone by just their first name .... and, yes, "The Summer of Love"; I think my grandparents might have told me about this! Ahem!

Ah yes, Val! We can dream, can't we?

Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa Otis was right.

Since I took up the Ukulele this has become one of my favorite goto songs. It seems to address the political situation equally well for the past 50 years. Sandy Shaw won the Eurovision Song contest with this one in 1967. She wasn't wearing shoes that night either!

Dedicated to Susan!

for our gracious host - a question...

re: On A First Name Basis

Is it ok to select music from Bach, Beethoven and Mozart, et al since they are usually and casually referred to by their LAST names?

and Schubert, Liszt, Mendelsohn

All fine!

Willie. From the mid 60's, he re-recorded this in the 80's. One of my favorite songs.

Recovering Bassist · Jul 16, 2017

Elvis. Wore this 45 out as a kid. Always wanted to try this. Very first take here.

Easier: Barbra, Bette, Kermit, Liberace, Topol . . .

Well, that's annoying. We are away for a few days in our campervan, with no ukulele. So before we set off this morning, I recorded a one take wonder. Set it uploading to YouTube, which said it was in a queue for processing. And off we went...
Now it looks as if it never processed...the title is there on my YT account, but no video. So, sometime later this week, I will try again.

Thought about Beethoven's 7th briefly, decided to go with 7 chords and some Na Na Na's from Macca in the end.
Wonderful theme Linda, near as damn it to do what we want, thank you.

Steve, how frustrating! Hope you have a great time on the short vacation and that you'll be able to bring the song later this week!
