Hello, all you seasonistas out there! Welcome to Season 506-Now, THAT'S scary... It's the last week of October and my neighborhood is filling up with decorations of all sorts. Some are fun and festive, some are downright disturbing, if I'm honest. This week I'd like you to bring songs about what you fear. It can be the big things: death, loss of a partner, loss of a lover, loss of a parent or child, homelessness, hunger, natural disaster, etc. Or, it could be the other scary stuff: endless timeshare presentations, clowns, having bad breath, obnoxious co-workers, making unintentional grammar mistakes, etc. Of course, you could do the Halloween songs, but that's not really what interests me. The song needs to at least mention, in the the title or lyrics, the thing you fear. The Tears Of A Clown? Check. For me, anyway. Take Me Out To The Ballgame? Absolutely... (Crowds) In your post, please illuminate us as to your particular phobia or rational fear. We promise not to exploit it. Right, all? RIGHT???
I don't have an introductory video. I'll try to sing and play about something scary later in the week.
All usual rules apply: (and some new ones)
Have ukulele as one of the instruments in your video.
Posts will be accepted starting at 12am, Hawaii-time, on October 24.
Last songs should be posted no later than 11:59pm, Hawaii-time, on October 31.
Please list the season number and title somewhere, either in your YouTube description, or verbally, or in the YouTube title.
If you bring an original, I would love it if you would put the lyrics in your YouTube description, or, in your UU post.
One song per day, per customer, until Thursday, then open the flood gates. I'm noticing things slow down about then.
Collaborations, multi-tracking and choreography all strongly encouraged, unless choreography is, indeed, what you fear most.
Lastly, a possibly most-importantly, if you can manage the time, please watch and comment on the videos of others. There is no greater fear than going unnoticed. Honest and kind, is all I ask. Both of those.
Super-scary PLAYLIST will be here, once there is one.
