Captain Google
Ukulele Captain
I'm on a rather limited budget, but I still wanted to hold a contest.
From the Beach Boys to Del Shannon, the Beatles to Herman's Hermits, the '60s were host to some of the most legendary musical acts of all time. The songs were simple, the sound clean, and people couldn't get enough.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to interpret a song from this outstanding era.
Your prize: a box of your choice of twelve tins of any combination of the nine standard flavours of Oral Fixation mints.
The rules:
You may enter as many times as you would like.
You must play your ukulele.
If you have no camera, or are camera-shy, you may set your cover to animation or a slide show.
Videos must be uploaded to Youtube. Link to your video in this thread.
At the beginning of your video, you must state, by either caption (NOT ANNOTATION) or spoken words, that it is an entry for my contest. The wording is up to you, as long as it includes the words "sixties" and "contest".
Any video that was uploaded before the date at which this contest started will be disqualified.
Your entries will be judged on how creative you were with your interpretation.
The deadline: Wednesday, April 15 (since 4×15=60), 2009 at 3:00 pm EST.
EDIT: The deadline is now Saturday, April 25, 2009 at 3:00 pm EST.
Good luck!
