Greetings!
Here is my entry for motherhood week:

The combination of maudlin sentimentality, classic male chauvinism and creepy descriptions of bodily functions proved irresistible.

"It was voted the #1 "Worst Song of All Time" in a poll conducted by CNN.com in 2006"

Had some songs that I really wanted to do, but they were a little over my head. And had been done way better than I could :

magnificent. Peewee you are one seriously funny guy man...there's comedy clubs screaming for you as we speak. Superb and dry as the dust. :biglaugh: oh, glad the birth went well, that's one pretty lil' munchkin you got there

Freeda · May 18, 2012

Go for it! Lucky 13 should be no holds barred, imo.

@peewee - great job my friend loved it and very impressed by your falsetto singing, also loved that scarf you had on

Thanks! I didn't know I had the falsetto in me either..maybe I can pull off those high lonesome bluegrass harmonies one day..looking forward to your Mum song.

Glad I'm getting some laughs, thanks for the encouragement, it is really appreciated you guys!
For the record, I am a parent, and was indispensable at OUR daughter's birth, feeding the mrs. ice chips and breathing along..

Eugene your Lolly song is great, how could I not know that? Lolly is my sister's nickname, and I would remember that number! Nice job as always, you're an inspiration.

I guess I'm gonna have to host one of these someday soon, week 17 looks good from here..

Oh and if someone has a lot of time and skill, here's a good one for multitracking,

I'm getting the urge to do a multi-track now.

I'm thinking the same thing...
The song I'm considering has a traditional duet part. I might be fun to add in the harmony (although I have no experience doing this).

ukuleledaveey · May 18, 2012

Sheesh Dave...sounds like a domestic nightmare. I'm here if you need counselling brother

Whoa! High praise indeed. I may have found my niche, stay tuned for my triple LP of mellow hits of the 70s.
Kinda like the Circle Jerks "Golden Shower of Hits"

My week 13 entry! I covered There Is Nothing by Clem Snide, however I changed a few of the lyrics to fit the theme a bit better. Is that cheating? In any case, here's to all the wonderful mothers out there.

Perhaps it was something about your demeanour but your performance somehow
the reminded me of Will Ferrell singing Wreckless Eric-Whole Wide World

The only thing that was missing was the unexpected big kiss at the end.

Ha ha! All I'm missing is Will Ferrell's bank account. Perhaps I can convince my wife to make a guest appearance for the big kiss at the end of my next video.

Hi all and here is my lacklustre performance, blame a bad day and a frustrating c-string. thanks freeda for running this week

hope the week improves Dave. This was a really lovely performance actually mate, very moving...such an intense song and my guess is that it was a good match for your mood when you sang it. Have vivid memories of this as a 17 and 18 year old when we were all listening to Floyd, it was one of the first songs I ever learnt on guitar so the lyrics are etched in my brain. Enjoyed it a lot brother, thanks.

Thanks as ever Jon for your continued support

it means a great deal to get feedback from our uke icons

it was the first time i actually ever had to force myself to play the uke, as it is playing up i found it very distracting and also it was quite emotional for me to sing a mom song. Hoping to get a bruko no6 soon fingers crossed.
Was debating to do a kazoo solo in the middle as dave gilmores solos in this song are some of my faves, but i couldnt really figure anything out so thought i would stick to the trusty strummin . thanks for your encouragement

good thing you didn't go with the kazoo mate, would have wrecked the mood of it. Don't think that one needs anything but simple strumming and singing. The tone of the lyric says all that needs to be said. Sorry of the sadness of losing your mum, I dread that day too Dave, my mum will be 80 this year...wow, how did that happen. As for the Bruko...an excellent choice I reckon. I had a #6 and still regret letting it go. Light and bright, superbly built...I love em. Blessings brother, look after yourself while the wife's away.

Great song choice, Daveey!

Hey...has anyone done Bohemian Rhapsody for this week?

Now THAT would be a multi-track.

mattydee · May 18, 2012

Well, done, Davey. This was my first choice, but now I'd better look for a back-up. Though my time has nearly run out, and I may have to just sit this week out anyhow. Sigh.

ukuleledaveey · May 19, 2012

many thanks oldpharte and mattydee, hey matty you can still do it my friend

i personally would love to hear your version, but no pressure

once again thanks for your comments
