It was five years ago this month that I first started taking \u201crequests\u201d online to make songs. These are actually a favor to me because my desire to create videos exceeds my inspiration to think of stuff to do on my own. <\/font><\/p>\n

My first group of \u201crequests\u201d were actually part of a \u201cdare\u201d thing I used to do on\u00a0 a regular basis. One of my online friends dared me to go out on to a public street corner wearing women’s underwear and sing Madonna\u2019s \u201cLike a Virgin\u201d. I got help from the girl I was dating at the time. <\/font><\/p>\n

Small anecdote about how easy it was to impress a lady in her 20\u2019s when I was in my 30\u2019s. I\u2019ll never forget how totally impressed Versailles was that I had toilet paper in my bathroom actually hanging from the toilet paper dispenser. This may actually be on video someplace, but I\u2019ll never forget how she told me about how most guys her age might have some napkins from Taco Bell in their bathroom, if most, a roll of toilet paper on the floor somewhere. That I actually had the real thing hanging from an actual dispenser was a big deal in her mind.<\/font><\/p>\n

Older men. We have toilet paper. <\/font><\/p>\n

Fast forward to two years ago, yet again another \u201cdare\u201d and once again, involved wearing women\u2019s clothing in a public place. What is it with the requests and wearing drag?<\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/font><\/p>\n

Soon after that, I posted a request on MySpace, or was it Facebook? I don\u2019t remember. In any case, the point was requesting a request for the least likely song you\u2019d expect to hear on uke. The request I took was the Violent Femme\u2019s \u201cKiss Off\u201d\u2026<\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/object><\/p>\n

This leads us to today, where once again, I put a post on a social network (it was Facebook. Let\u2019s face it. If I had put it on FriendBurst, no one would have seen it) requesting a request for a song you wouldn\u2019t expect to hear on ukulele\u2026 <\/font><\/p>\n

Got lots of responses. This is what I went with\u2026Of course, I did it in my NSFW video style\u2026 <\/font><\/p>\n
