Need Simple Crowd Pleasers!!!

Mim said:

As most of you know, I am spreading the Uke love by having Ukes available in my shop for people to pick up and play! I am going to be the Queen of infecting people with Uke obcession! Last night a guy who never played ANY insterment EVER picked up one of the Ukes. I showed him how to play a C, Am, and G. Nothing special, just some basics. I swear I saw a glow in his eyes... he was bit!!!

So, I am in the process of putting a folder together of songs that I will have out on the table. It has a Uke chord chart in the front and I want to fill it with as many simple songs as possible that people can look through and play.
And feel successful playing.
And then they will be hooked.
And then I will have lots of people who can come and jam with me!!!

So. I need songs that are:

- Easy... simple chords, not too many different chords
- Familiar
- A variety of genres
- Songs that if you were making a book of easy songs you would include

So, throw them out to me!!!
Thanks guys!!!

Radiohead's Creep. That was the first song I learned. Less than 2 hours after the first time I held a uke I was playing and singing. I'm too lazy to pull up tabs though. Sorry.

Good luck with your book! You should post the songs you choose. It may inspire some of us.
