It's the first of the month! And that means: a brand new episode of UKE LESSONS. This time Aldrine breaks down all you need to know to jam the song "Drop Baby, Drop" with anyone who wants to play it with you!

Check it out here: Uke Lesson 11 - Drop Baby, Drop!!

Let us know what you think! Do you have any questions, comments, constructive criticism?? What can we do better, and how can we make playing the uke easier and awesomer for you?

Go ahead discussioners, start it up!

i can now play it with confidence.

but now....for our next lesson, we need aldrine to do the middle picking thats super fast. that would be GANGSTER if you guys could teach that. whether it be a live lesson or regular. mahaloz again UU for this lesson

Lyrics:

My heart does the tango, with every little move you make

I love you like a mango, `cause we can make it everyday

I want you to drop baby, drop baby, drop, drop all your love on me

Drop baby, drop baby, drop, drop `cause I'm hungry

My nights would be so lonely, if ever you should choose to go

I'd live just like a zombie, with very little love to show

I want you to drop baby, drop baby, drop, drop all your love on me

Drop baby, drop baby, drop, drop `cause I'm hungry

(Instrumental)

Who loves you pretty baby, who`s gonna help you through the night

Who loves you pretty mama, who`s always there to make it right

Who loves you, who loves you pretty baby,

Who`s gonna love you mama, baby drop

My heart does the tango, with every little move you make

I love you like a mango, `cause we can make it everyday

I want you to drop baby, drop baby, drop, drop all your love on me

Drop baby, drop baby, drop, drop `cause I'm hungry

This is was a GREAT video..
The intro aldrine does sounds almost exactly the way I played it.... but his is way better

Daniel Davis · Nov 2, 2008

Hahaha, "our infamous CHUNK."

Dane · Nov 3, 2008

The original is from Eddy Grant, but it was remade by Mana'o Company.

UkuLeLesReggAe · Nov 3, 2008

i think where u start talking like a nature show guy is funny

in the outakes. shud have done it like that !

Dane · Nov 3, 2008

Or like he's someone from National Public Radio.... "we have no emotion in our voices"

Does anyone have any original videos or sound files for this? Like from Eddy Grant or Mana'o Company?

This is the first song I've attempted to sing with..... I have a tendency to put larger spaces between the mid parts of each section, like "my heart does the tango" then a bigger gap then i'd like before "with every little move you make". I don't know if its me waiting for a beat or what, but it makes me have to play the last chord really weird, slower, or extend it with a few strums. But I'm getting better, I didn't know I could actually sing either.......
