Welcome to season 119. Crazy words, Crazy tune!
This season is all about lyrically silly, goofy, kooky fun and musical noises. The goal is to make each other happy, laugh out loud, or get a smile from ear to ear
I am leaving that interpretation up to you so you can let your humor show through. There are lots of clever lyrics out there that make a song humorous, but many of you can sing a sad song and make me laugh so just go for it and give me what you've got.
To help get you started with silly ideas think Spike Jones, Ray Stevens, Roger Miller, Leroy Troy, Jim Stafford, Kate Micucci.
Then there is the charming fun of the Johnny Marvin songs . He was a ukulele player of the 20's who had his own way to add in kooky musical noises and I would love to see his songs added to the playlist. There is so much charm and humor in many of the old tunes.
* Big points for LOL moments and Johnny Marvin tunes
**Even bigger points for the use of musical extras!! Get your nose flutes out people
(kazoo, whistles, spoons, xylophones, nose flutes, poppers, jugs, tools, etc. use your imagination.)

*8. When you post I would love for you to let me know what you've used for your musical extras that I call "props"!
Judging~
Judging will be based on your clever take of the song, use of musical extras (and an effort to costume would be nice). You know how I am. I think everything is great so I may have to rely on the top hat. If I CAN come up with an over all winner they will not be included in the hat. All other name will make it into the hat only once unless you do a Johnny Marvin song. That will get you into the hat twice.
Prizes~
First prize will get a Cigar Box Uke. Other winners will receive your choice of a uke related item from Zazzle (t-shirt, cup, etc.)
FYI- Here is a fantastic "Humorous Playlist" full of great ideas. He has included words and chords to over 100 songs
