Halloween Ukulele
May I be the first to wish a Happy Hallowsgivingmas to you all. I think we’ve all sort of gotten used to Thanksgiving being lumped in with Christmas & Hannukah as part of the “Holiday season”, but nowadays, it seems like Halloween is getting stepped on by the upcoming winter holidays too. At my store, we put out our Christmas trees back on October 1st. I wandered through the Xmas section last night and found myself humming Holiday songs and actually wondering when would be too early to start posting Christmas songs on YouTube.
So I’m already in the holiday spirit, so it’s no surprise that I felt compelled to sing a second Halloween song for this year (My first being the Thriller cover). This next song is a cover of a song written by Ukulele Bartt, one of the West Coast’s preeminent ukulele personalities. I got a chance to meet Bartt Warburton at the San Diego Ukulele Festival, and when I thought of covering his tune, he was gracious enough to send me the chords. Thanks, Bartt! Enjoy!
Now, I do feel the need to note that this is not the first time I have used a cemetery as background for a ukulele video. In the past though, it has been for somber songs about death and war. For those of you who might find the cemetery background offensive for a humorous song, I am sorry. I did at least give special thanks to Reuben and Paula Hurt as well as “Boeschoten” (deceased).
As a bonus to the bonus, I’m also going to post another Halloween song that I made 3 or 4 years ago, also for an Ukulele Underground contest. Sympathy for the Devil:
Nice putting that lil ad for your mum J….:)
Now getting to the Zombie tune….I think it was one of your better covers….and you know it was a little weird because I just heard this tune played by a band just recently….strange in a Halloween kind of way…. 😯 ❗ 😯
Ohhhh those ubber dance moves just send a chill up my inner thigh but enough about that….I guess they don’t call that song Thriller for nothing huh…. 🙄
Sympathy for da Debil ……
I was most impressed with your lead guitar sounds,that and your horns bouncing as you moved….ohhh lololol you are one funny bastard….. :entertained:
Now though the Lemur is afraid to go out foraging after dark……… 😥
Oh well just as well it’s really hard to find nuts and fruits and other leafy treats without falling out of the trees…. 8)
Well done Bricoleur

Enjoyed the blast from the past with Sympathy for the Devil. Very odd background photo choices.
I liked the Zombie love vid.
Do you still have a green screen?
