Well... Here I go, here I go, here I go again Girls, what's my weakness? (Overly complex videos!) Okay then, chillin', chillin', mindin' my business Yo, Salt, I looked around and I couldn't believe it I swear, I stand, Twitter my witness, That Seeso's comp was going on with something kinda Wicked, wicked, had to kick it 48 hours later*, look what you've got! (*At least, that's when it would have been accessible by had my internet connection not dropped out seconds before I started the upload) It's all uke 'n' voice. And I guess it's a shambolic record of my learning Salt 'n' Pepa's Shoop one night, early the following morning and a bit the day after that. Not all that long ago, all I'd ever heard of Shoop was captainburrito incorporating a verse of it into their brilliant cover of Damien Rice's 9 Crimes. I found it amusing. Then 3 days ago on an exceptionally lo-fi corner of YouTube I came across that same verse plus one other being spoken by Ellen DeGeneres. I felt the urge to cover the song. Decided that I would do so, with the help of some uke. Finally, the next day (which would become day one of recording), I actually listened to the full, original track. Shortly thereafter I stumbled upon Seeso's video announcement of a hip-hop uke comp. I'm sure there's something insightful that could be said about all that. Instead, I say toddle on over to www.ukuleleunderground.com after you've watched this, because it really is very resource-rich and, well, the contest is UU-based, so the site is rather relevant to this post. So, this is my 1st submission to the contest described here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzlveKtF5sc and here (where you'll find links to all the other great entries): http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?s=82a9506bea07bcb51eeaaf9cdcec1b01&t=13525 I'm so excited about the whole deal I haven't even looked up Shoop's release details!
