SEASON 559 — Everybody Plays the Fool
About a month ago, it struck me just how many songs have the word "fool" in them. So this week’s theme is simple: The songs have to have some version of the word “fool” in the title or lyrics (fools, fooled, fooling, foolish, tomfoolery, etc.). This week we’re going to celebrate November Fools’ Day. Back in Season 163, Tommy Coughlin hosted an “April Fools, Tricksters and Twisted Tunes” theme that was much wider in scope — this week is restricted to the word “fool”.
If you play an original, the “fool” word has to be in the lyrics, not just the title.
Here's an example that I can be reasonably sure that no one intends to play, from the '70s prog-rock band Crack the Sky:
Rules:
• The video must be a new video recorded for this Season.
• The video must say that it is for the 559th Season of the Ukulele.
• Multitracking is okay, overdubs are okay. But I'm most interested in hearing you perform a song on the ukulele.
• Original songs are always welcome.
• Collaborations are always welcome.
• Collaborations on original songs? Hell, yeah!
• Videos must be posted to this thread. But not before midnight tonight, Hawaiian time. (And remember, Season 558 still has a day to go!)
• The Season lasts for 8 days, and ends at midnight Hawaiian time on Sunday night, November 6.
• NO MORE THAN THREE VIDEOS!
• I’m not sure yet if there will be prizes. If there are, the winners will be chosen randomly.
