So I'm tired, been working really long hours, and will continue to do so right through til June, yet nevertheless, I find myself coming home and thinking about what I can record for different people's contests. What does this tell me? Contests are awesome! So, time for me to launch my own.
Concept
You make a video of you performing a piece of music of black origin from the 1980s. I was gonna say soul, but then I thought hey, it'd be fun to hear 80's electro hip hop, R&B, you name it, so let's get wider with this. You post it here, and I judge whose is the best.
Rules
Prize
The winner will receive a custom made t-shirt, or vest, or if I actually have some money at the time, a hoody (it will be your choice!). This will bear a picture of a Hawaiian hula girl, with come hither eyes, and the slogan "Hey Big Boy, what are your favourite strings?". This is an awesome prize. Essentially, it's a completely elitist shirt. Only other ukulele players will understand it at all, and even then, probably only those who frequent internet fora. Everyone else will be as confused as hell, and you'll feel cool.
Closing Date
11:59, UK time, on June 6th. Firstly that's my birthday (yay!), and secondly, the next time I'm actually going to be at my desk for any length of time will be June 10th. I'll announce the winner not later than June 13th.
Go!

Rules
- You may enter as many times as you wish
- Videos recorded prior to the contest launch are not eligible
- In the video intro, you must say "It's time to THROW DOWN"!
- You must use the ukulele significantly in the music. It could be for rhythm, or lead, but its gotta be there.
- The song you choose must be either be by a black artist, in which case it can be of any genre, or be from a genre made popular by black artists. You don't need me to tell you which these are.
- You must post a link to your video on this thread; I will put them all in a playlist, and add the link to this post, as per all the other contests.
