Seasons of the Ukulele 294 Introduction
This week's theme may be a complete disaster, but I've been wanting to give it a go and see what happens...
This week the theme is STRANGE PHENOMENA.
Songs about...
Paranormal stuff
Cryptozoology (Bigfoot/Yowie/Yeti/Mokele Mbembe/Thunderbird/Nessie/Ogopogo/Dogmen/the Mothman/Spring-Heeled Jack/Jersey Devil)
- a guy named Lenny Green has written literally dozens of songs about Bigfoot
Mental powers (ESP/telepathy/clairvoyance/deja vu)
Forteana (weird stuff from history as chronicled by Charles Fort)
Fairies/Wee folk/Daoine Shide/The Wild Hunt/Goblins, Brownies and their ilk - should be no problem finding songs about the Fair Folk
Extra-Terrestrials/UFOs/Missing Time/Alien Abduction - probably lots of songs about this, too
Ghosts/Hauntings/Undead/Possession - ghost stories, lots of those!
Spontaneous Human Combustion - there is definitely one song about this
Things that fall from the sky without an obvious explanation
Synchronicity/Premonitions/Dreams that later actually come true
Orgone/Cloudbusting - definitely at least one song about each of these
Doppelgängers (someone who appears to be someone you know but behaves strangely)
Ghost lights/will-o-the-wisps
Lost and forbidden cities
Any songs that are about real people who have been associated with strange phenomena (Charles Fort, Wilhelm Reich, Count Saint-Germain), including the flim-flammers and con artists, as well as the people who busted them.
Or any skeptical songs about how this stuff is just a bunch of bunkum.
I'm sure there are other things that could be called strange phenomena. This is just an example list that I thought of.
Covers and originals. Originals encouraged! Write a song about that weird thing that happened to you once. You know what I'm talking about.
Multi-tracking is good, or just play and sing, either way.
Usual start and stop times. No song limit.
