Wig Wam Bam

This is a song from a British Glam Rock band, from 1972 called "Wig Wam Bam".

It's my first ever public performance outside of open mic nights at our local acoustic jam (UnplugTheWood). If anyone had said to me just over a year ago before I'd even held a ukulele that I'd be singing solo, or even playing an instrument - let alone in public, I'd have told them that they were mad!

Huge fun, don't care if anyone thinks I'm mad - I'm happy!

Ha! My band used to do a thrash-metal version of this song

Not on Ukes btw.

This was great!
Enjoyed it.

'A' Glam rock band? You mean 'THE' Glam rock band? The legends that are The Sweet!

Please can you post the tab/chords for this?

I'm all over it!

This is such an awesome outing here...Hope we get treated to a lot more from you mate!

Hey, Phooto! Just commenting here, too (also did on Season 70) -- this performance was TOP NOTCH, hands-down one of the BEST uke videos I've seen and I LOVED it! No pressure or anything, but I can't wait to see what you do next!!!! I'll say it again -- like I did on Season 70 -- BRAVO!!!

Thanks again. I have got an idea, but give me time!

Brilliant - chords and lyrics!

I've been working on a few of my own songs recently, but they can now take a back seat whilst I learn this!

Fantastic video Simon. Totally kicked it. keep em coming mate...
:cheers:

Thanks for sharing it..

What a rave from the grave, takes me back to my teenage years. That was a fantastic video, I enjoyed it so much I watched it twice.
