That was just great, Rex. Some pretty tough chord changes in there too. Well done!

Patti Smith suits you very well, Lynda. This is one of your best, IMHO. Great job!!!

The Ballad of Jed Clampett
Here's a blast from the past. The theme music from The Beverly Hillbillies, sung by Jerry Scoggins, backed by greats, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. Flatt and Scruggs released a single and it spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Country singles charts, peaking at #1 for three weeks and #44 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1962.

Ohmygosh, Ralf, bum me out! I did not know that song and didn't realize where it was going. You tell a great story with this. The strumming pattern is excellent.

Very well done, WGY. Seems kind of creepy - her being THAT obsessed....

Classic Dylan lyrics. Your strumming adds to the power of this song. Very well done, Joko.

Way to go, Liz! I'm a big Blake Shelton fan. Really nice job on this cover. I know that Bird's liked this one because of all the upstrums...... Hope you have time to do more.

Perfect! I can see them all piled into their truck for the intro to the show. Thanks for taking me back. Very fun.

Meat Loaf Again?
Elsewhere in the thread, someone proposed doing Paradise by the Dashboard Light, and that got me thinking--if I'm going to do a song from that album (pretty much all story songs), why not go for the most overblown Jim Steinman production of all? So here, with all the pomp and operatic overproduction a simple soprano ukulele can muster, I give you Bat Out of Hell.

Love that line! Yours or a quote? If it isn't from a song, it sure ought to be!
BTW, loved your "Hollis Brown" and agree completely with your point about the difficulty of keeping tempo with only a single chord.

I still have this LP. Great song choice. You did this very well. Vocals and uke both sound really good, Luis.

I'm not a big fan of rap or hip hop in general, but I do love some of the old school stuff. This was the hardest song I've ever tried to do. Some of these lines are a real mouthful! BEATBOX WARNING!

I interrupt this season to let you know that the results for season 126 are now out.

Having put S126 to bed, I can concentrate on the current season. I had a few ideas about possible songs but I was looking through my song list and I came across this one. A traditional English song which comes in many variants often with different tunes. I like this Dorian mode tune for it, though.
Some people attach mystical significance to the song associating it with fertility rites, but I think it's just about beer. :drool: :iwant:

Creeque Alley - The Mamas & The Papas
Back in Season 102, when Fred educated me about the blues (also, coincidentally where I discovered the value of never missing a Season, *especially* if I do not at first glance think I "like" the theme), I noticed that this fun little song that we do in our local jam group is a blues song.
It's also an excellent (mostly) true story song about the music scene of the '60's, and the origins of The Mamas and The Papas.
And it's simply great fun to play and sing.
Played on my newly re-strung uke (trying Martin M600's this time), tuned up a half step temporarily to try to settle it by Friday, when I'm performing a song with a friend at a show.
(So glad that ice cream truck drove by *after* I finished the take!)
