[owlphanumeric]

we all have funny sideways/upwards glances, don't we?

[NatalieLin6]

Wonderful! The new Mainland Mango sounds fantastic!

[UKISOCIETY]

Thank you - it's a great uke!

[fourteentwelve]

I love the simplicity of this song on the uke. It sounded really lovely. Your new Mainland is gorgeous! I love the look and sound of it.

The outtakes were really funny too!

[UKISOCIETY]

Thanks, Michelle! It's my favorite uke right now.

[flipingirld]

hahahaha great ukover! love the funny ending :P

[UKISOCIETY]

fudgy thanks!

[Plaice3]

Feeling miserable at being chained to my desk today, you have just provided the absolute best diversion I could have hoped for, a total attitude adjuster. Thanks!

[UKISOCIETY]

: ) great thanks!

[mctrmt]

Very nice. The Police clean up good on ukulele.

[itsBABYSMITH]

3:28

did you do that as a kid too? too cute....

[UKISOCIETY]

I don't know. probably. : P

[seeso]

Right on, UKI! Sounds great.

[UKISOCIETY]

Mahalozzzzz! :D

[theBradlands]

Very cool cover

[UKISOCIETY]

ThankS!

[MrPlatypus70]

By far the best song by the Police, great job. Sometimes I do the looking up thing too but I never find whatever it is I forgot up there!!!

[UKISOCIETY]

A lot of people's favorite, which is funny to be, being about suicide. But then, mine's probably King of Pain..!

[TheGalwayFarmer]

@UKISOCIETY mine is So Lonely. Or the Bed's Too Big Without You

[UKISOCIETY]

@TheGalwayFarmer Nice! Check out mctrmt's version of so lonely on uke.

[kc8afw]

Awesome cover and funny outtakes.

[UKISOCIETY]

heh. Thank you!

[heatherlbrandt]

I beg you to refrain from showing our old washer in future videos! Puleeze! :0

[UKISOCIETY]

mmmmmm. ok.

[adellethegreat]

Fudge! That was awesome!

[UKISOCIETY]

Fudge IS teh awesome. Thanks, Ukulele Delly!

[ArmyOfCuteness]

Haha, awesome cover! I love the outtakes too; I have make those *exact same faces.* I love this song, you rocked it!

[UKISOCIETY]

Thanks. Outtakes are the great equalizer!

[ukulelezo]

I tend to say sugar plums but, fudge is good too. I dare say this was a wee bit funky! I'm diggin' it.

[ukulelezo]

I tend to say sugar plums but, fudge is good too. I dare say this was a wee bit funky! I can dig it!

[UKISOCIETY]

werd. Thanks, Z!

[mjs004]

Maybe you should tape the music to the ceiling! My wife looks up at the ceiling when she has to sneeze really bad. She is actually looking at the ceiling lights. she claims it helps her sneeze. I thought of sticking a bless you sign up near the lights!

Oh, Awesome take on this classic tune!

[UKISOCIETY]

Brilliant idea! Usually I have to read music sheets, then there's no need to look up! Mahaloz!

[katsjes]

haha, hilarious cover.

i'm all over your vids like a raincoat.

[UKISOCIETY]

Can't ask for anything better!

[SmokeyStubbs]

Smooth version.

I always look up at the ceiling when I'm concentrating too. Got a couple of videos of me on facebook doing a gig and I'm just staring at the rafters constantly.

[UKISOCIETY]

Funny that! Thanks!

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

Brilliant song choice - that mango sounds awesome.

[UKISOCIETY]

Thank you Grmp!

[Sheepstar15]

Great stuff Alan.

Awesome new uke BTW.  It sounds fantastic :)

[UKISOCIETY]

Thanks, A! It's a unique sound. I'm luvin it right now.

[UnluckyMum]

Excellent version. Love all the added-in bits :)

The Police's version used to upset one of my daughters (who is called Lucy), she thought they were singing 'I cant stand Lucy'. No danger of that here !!

Hooray for fudge.

[UKISOCIETY]

This is probably the happiest sound suicide note, what with the uke. Funny about Lucy. Poor girl. Did she also think she was in disguise with diamonds too?

Thanks and YAY F!

[russbuss415]

that was really cool Alan! and yay for standing up and playing. i particularly like being able to get that dashboard hula hip action going while standing and strumming.

fudge em all!

[UKISOCIETY]

yum. I was wearing a Slendertone exercise belt while playing.

I think you should do covers of mctrmt's So Lonely and my version of this in a mash-up medley. Of course, you could do in your Sting-register dam tenor voice.

[russbuss415]

lolz, or maybe ROXXXXXanne in a fine falsetto.

[UKISOCIETY]

I'm sure Deach would volunteer to dress up like Roxanne for the vid....Mebbe we shouldn't give him any ideas.

[russbuss415]

so ronery

[deach69]

I'm wearing that dress tonight and I don't care if it's wrong or right.

[ricksan66]

Way cool! I've got the chords but haven't been able to doing anything with this song yet. Also, you keep making me obsess about buying a Mainland.

[UKISOCIETY]

I'm thinking a Mango Tenor would sound AWESOME! Thanks!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

really good cover, Alan. Why don't you submit an entry for this month's invitational on Cosmos? Another Police song.

[UKISOCIETY]

I haven't visited Cosmos in ages. Maybe I will. Thank you, Mr. Middleton!

[LeoHareMusic]

Psychologists have long noted that people look up and to the right when they are being creative or artistic, and up and to the left when they are digging for facts.

Or was it psychotics? Someone says that, anyway.

Nice performance. Thanks for the "director's cut" stuff at the end!

[UKISOCIETY]

LOL Psychotic might be right. Thanks, Leo!

[hoosierhiver]

Very cool!

[UKISOCIETY]

Luvs the uke, Mike. A tenor Mango Mainland is in my future....

[NewMexicoDawG]

Made my morning:)I must try this when I get my new ukulele:)Still Have not decided Yet what I am gonna get Trying to find something that stands out:)

[moosenamedmorton]

PLASTIC UKES

[UKISOCIETY]

Got it in one! Thanks

[UKISOCIETY]

These Mainlands are distinctive with their rope binding. These mango ones sound so sweet!

[NewMexicoDawG]

Good Job:)

[UKISOCIETY]

Mahaloz!

[NewMexicoDawG]

Yeahhhhhhhhh:)The Police and The Reggae Feel:)

[UKISOCIETY]

[vid314]

Nice version. Never thought of the Police as ukulele material. Well done!

[UKISOCIETY]

True. It's the first Police tune that's worked for me on uke. Check out mctrmt's version of So Lonely. It's amazing. Thanks!

Love it Alan! The fudge ups too!

[UKISOCIETY]

Have you done early Police? I bet you'd sound great doing So Lonely and stuff like that. Fudgy thanks, R!

[BaronK69]

Not yet. I have done "Shape of my heart" on guitar, but that's it... Might give it a try though.

[DonfromMT]

Never enjoyed a scratched record so much. Lots to like about this, Alan. Great song!

[UKISOCIETY]

Mahaloz, Don.

[UkesterBrown]

I liked it even with the extended fermata...

[UKISOCIETY]

Stop staring at my fermata!

[ken6675]

African Tribesman celebratory dance at the end = awesome!

Great job Alan!

[UKISOCIETY]

Wish Sting had done the scratch. That's the confectionery ritual dance done at the fudge harvest every year in Botswana. Thanks, DC!
