Song Help Request Best songs for ladies

econosaurus · Aug 30, 2009

Im trying to get a little repertoire together for the ladies, so far I have you and I by ingrid Michaelson, Im yours by jason mraz, and i guess till there was you. Im just wondering what other romantic songs sound good on the ukulele.

Suggestions would be welcome, im off to college this week and i'd like to have something to play for girls i run into haha

Not too romantic, but what about:

I enjoy being a Girl (Flower Drum Song)

I Feel Pretty (West Side Story)

Crazy (by Patsy Cline)

Dream a Little Dream if Me (Mamas and Papas)

I've been wanting somebody to figure out the chords to nine inch nails "closer" does that apply? If not anything by nine inch nails is good

I wanna be your boyfriend by the ramones that's a good one C F G7

tonights the night by rod stewart college girl from VA Tech requested that one from me a few nights ago... I take that to mean it'll work.

Crash by DMB used to be a standard panty dropper. i don't know that the new generation will respond as well though.

Also I have found they like to hear anything they know the words to. Keep it poppy. Buy U Drank by Tpain is good. I Hope You Die by bloodhound gang isn't.

Dylan doesn't seem to work. Neither does Lyle Lovett... just my experience.

personally, i think you should just go with songs that you like. I'm a girl and would be no way impressed by romantic 'girly' songs

Try popular, current songs that they can join in with. It can be a little awkward to just listen to someone play, it's more fun to get involved.
Good luck at college

- 1,2,3,4 by 'The Plain White T's'
- Honestly by 'Ekolu'
- Stuck on you by 'Lionel Richie'
- Out of my league by 'Stephen Speaks'
- I'll be your baby tonight by 'Bob Dylan'

Ladies love a sense of humour, so go for comedy songs like those performed by Tenacious D, or Flight of the Conchords, or Jon Lajoie etc etc

Or you could take the lessons learnt from this:

Great tune to know. Really great tune to know.

Imma post my version under ukulele chords and tabs in the next few days.

I'm surprised no one has brought up Your Body is A Wonderland by John Mayer. Though it could be better suited towards a special lady than a bunch of girls watching you. lol Who knows? Try it out and give me the feedback. Good luck in college.

I will offer Death Cab For Cutie as my suggestion. I Will Follow You Into the Dark is pretty straightforward and ukulelehunt.com has chords.

I'm leaving for college too! Tomorrow morning... Bringin my uke carry-on
