Inflatable Church (ukulele original)

[MsKit1]

Wow! I watched the live version and got original curious. Excellent song.

[russbuss415]

@MsKit1 thanks so much! glad you like it.

[adellethegreat]

Your wife is a saint- I know that. And she's also beautiful. And you know how lucky you are, I see.

This song is incredibly sweet. I shouldn't listen to things like this when Aunt Flo is over... I'm all weepy now. TMI?

[russbuss415]

@adellethegreat thanks mucho Adelle! .she's a saint and infinitely patient. lolz about your "friend".

[BeautifulGirlByDana]

Inflatable Church is a Fav

[russbuss415]

@BeautifulGirlByDana thanks for the support!

[9999mancheese9999]

nice tux - excellent song

[russbuss415]

@9999mancheese9999 thanks, i like to dress up once in a while and go nowhere.

[djs61909]

Excellent! I'll be back to hear more...subbed ya!!

[russbuss415]

@djs61909 thanks, i appreciate it!

[ukeyermind]

Great song, Russ! I'm glad you made it here - posting it any other place would be hard to find.

[russbuss415]

@ukeyermind haha, indeed this was a proper place to post it. thanks mucho Shawn!

[ctrymaus]

That's wonderful! Big smile here. :-)

[russbuss415]

@ctrymaus thank you Mousie! glad you liked it.

[casetone2514]

Super song.

Is there really an inflatable church at the end of Highway 56?

[russbuss415]

@casetone2514 thanks Tony! it was a bloated building/tent we saw when on vacation in Hawaii. it was at the end of 56, and i wasn't sure what it was but i'd like to imagine it was a church.

[phillipsderek]

Sweet!

That was a happy little song and the Koaloha was the perfect tool for the job.

[russbuss415]

@phillipsderek thanks Derek! the Koaloha is always a pleasure to play.

[ukeshale]

Great song :) beautiful tribute. She's a lucky girl!

[russbuss415]

@ukeshale thanks Shane! i appreciate it.

[shanifawni]

lol you got married in an inflatable church?

[russbuss415]

@shanifawni not quite. but this location sounds more fun!

[Sheepstar15]

Very nicely done, Russ. Lovely :)

[russbuss415]

@Sheepstar15 thank you Anna!

[jmmquah]

I suspect that when u come up with songs like this a "whole lot" is forgiven Russ. A gem.

[russbuss415]

@jmmquah cheers James! there sure is a lot to forgive :)

[fourteentwelve]

Another wonderful original Russ, and what a beautiful dedication! Great lyrics, and I particularly loved the bridge. That's such an interesting idea - an inflatable church.

[russbuss415]

@fourteentwelve thanks Michelle! this will probably be the closest i get to a cheesy love song. i was surprised when i found out inflatable churches actually exist!

[idrnoel]

Very nice lyrics. Nice shirt. Nice uke. Nice amp collection. Nice Telecaster. Very nice dedication.

[russbuss415]

@idrnoel thanks very much! it's nice to have all the gear when i have friends over to jam.

[krenfilm]

great song!

[russbuss415]

@krenfilm thanks Lorenzo!

[kennymelodica]

a whole lot of awesome we thinks, plus nice shirt and tie combo Russ. What shampoo do you use, your hair always looks so smooth and soft? Lovely song!

[russbuss415]

@kennymelodica thanks K&Cs! it's a combination of borax and mayonnaise. i wouldn't recommend it for daily use though. maybe just special occasions like the entire month of January.

[knoxukulele]

This is a great song Russ! Love the lyrics and your T-shirt helps with the visualization!

[russbuss415]

@knoxukulele thanks knox! i like to dress up and hit the town once in a while.

[ShaneFoxX]

LOL at the lyrics! Great song =]

Its a pretty cool tshirt by the way, i'm always jealous of your style and everything. =]

[russbuss415]

@ShaneFoxX thanks much Shane! it's a great shirt to wear when you have to go to a fancy dinner with family :)

[mugambismonkey]

I love the idea of an inflatable church. Would be great fun at the beach, too!

[russbuss415]

@mugambismonkey thanks Dirk! i agree, you can just pick it up and shake out all the sand. fun!

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

This is fantastic. I wanna go to the inflatable church...

Thanks for the forum shout out!

[russbuss415]

@GrumpyCoyoteTunes thanks Grump! hope the challenge keeps me going this year.

[theBradlands]

Very cool song Russ. But I'm wondering...if you're in the inflatable church and inhale..does your voice get high and chipmunk-like?

[russbuss415]

@theBradlands thanks Brad! actually, it's more like an old dirigible. that's why there's no smoking in the inflatable church.

[khrome242]

Aww this is so cute! :-D I thought you were joking about inflatable churches and just looked it up. That is so cool! And kind of bizarre. lol

[russbuss415]

@khrome242 thanks khrome! i didn't find out they existed until after i wrote the song. bizarre coincidence :)

[khrome242]

@russbuss415 Are you pulling my leg?? That would be a really strange coincidence! Or maybe you just think of the strangest things! lol Apparently, there are inflatable pubs too. :-)

[russbuss415]

@khrome242 i kid you not. my brain is kinda broken like that. mmm, inflatable pub....

[Rutle]

Brilliant song Russ, I wish there was more Inflatable Churchs.

[russbuss415]

@Rutle thanks Cat! that really would be cool, but not so good when it's super windy.

[DearOldNutjob]

I can imagine a song about inflatables. I can imagine a song about churches. But both in the same song? Genius! I really like the shiny shoes line, and I'm proud of you doing this for your wife. You look so handsome in that tuxedo!

[russbuss415]

@DearOldNutjob thanks mucho Don! i pressed the tux so it would be nice and crispy for the video.

[BaronK69]

I love this Russ, and I commented that before, but somehow it didn't stick. Maybe because my comment was too sugar coated... Like my feelings for you!

[russbuss415]

@BaronK69 thanks for the kind words BK! i will cherish them forever.

s@s

[pangus06]

Catchy tune russ. Thanks for sharing.

[russbuss415]

@pangus06 thanks for checking it out!

[uke5417]

I'm back for more. I've been humming it all morning. I'm sure it's a sign.

[russbuss415]

@uke5417 the sign on the inflatable church is not neon though. that would be a fire and puncture hazard. thanks for the return visit!

[matthewvaughan]

Really nice. YouTube turns up a surprising amount of other videos with "Inflatable Church" in the title. I kind of assumed that yours would be the only one. Is inflatable church some phenomenon that I haven't heard of?

[russbuss415]

@matthewvaughan thanks Matthew! i thought it was an original idea too but it turns out they already exist. i'll have to think harder next time :)

[hazyd]

Great song - loved it!

[russbuss415]

@hazyd thank you muchly!

[saramary33]

☼Awe! That's such a great dedication to your wife! I love your shirt too btw!☼

[russbuss415]

@saramary33 thanks for the comment Sara!

[uke5417]

My favorite part? "Now comes my favorite part."

Great song, Russell.

[russbuss415]

@uke5417 haha, thanks Bruce!  do you like how it doesn't rhyme with anything? :)

[uke5417]

You read my mind. Second favorite thing. Swear. I was studying it -- with theft in mind.

[floydbluethereal]

Brilliant, Russ!

[russbuss415]

@floydbluethereal thank you Ralf!

[TerryUkes]

Russ, fantastic! I did not know about inflatable churches, so I thought it's metaphor of sign or something between you two ;)

[russbuss415]

@TerryUkes thanks Terry! i thought i had made it up too, but after searching the internet, i found they exist :)

[soulfunkadeliq]

solid gold buddy.. solid gold

[russbuss415]

@soulfunkadeliq hey thanks E-money! hope you're enjoying your summer.

[UnluckyMum]

What a lovely song Russ- and inflatable churches are very cool indeed:)

[russbuss415]

@UnluckyMum thanks Caroline! Krabbers tells me they have one at bestival. how cool!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

What a fantastic tune and wonderful phrasing, Russ.

I checked on this inflatable church. It's real, isn't it? Whatever next!

[russbuss415]

@KenMiddletonUkulele thank you Ken! i saw a bloated tent in hawaii that i thought may have been a church and that was the inspiration for this song. but after writing it and doing some research, i found they actually do exist. bizarre.

[unclejeff64]

awesome russ!

[russbuss415]

@unclejeff64 thank you Jeff!

[CaptainUkehandles]

Love it. And you got all dressed up Sunday-go-to-meetin' like.

[russbuss415]

@CaptainUkehandles thanks Captain! gotta dress the part.

[boozelele]

Look at you all sentimental and stuff. I will admit, you have a great wife. She does put up with a lot....from all of us. good song russelle.

[russbuss415]

@boozelele yup, she's patient for sure. thanks boozelle!

[degcon]

Fantastic! Makes me wanna find an inflatable girl to marry! Is that a new acoustic bass behind you? Whoot!

YCSI

[russbuss415]

@degcon haha, thanks DeG! yeah, got my acoustic bass and it's a ton of fun to play. thanks for the tips.

[ken6675]

great song russ went to the top of my faves sir!!

Ken G

[russbuss415]

@ken6675 thanks for the kind words Ken!

[mjs004]

Top notch song! Glad to have a preview last night! Like the bridge you came up with it works perfectly!

[russbuss415]

@mjs004 thanks for the feedback Mike! the bridge was half done when you heard it and i was still very unsure about it.

[bluesuke]

Great job! well done Russ

[russbuss415]

@bluesuke thank you muchly!

[UkesterBrown]

must be like our tennis domes or inflatablechurchdotcom

[russbuss415]

@UkesterBrown there may have been a tarpaulin tennis court in front of the inflatable church. either that or an olympic sized slip n' slide.

[Little6ster]

Mrs RusseLL is very lucky... and a great inspiration, very nice one my friend! ;°)

[russbuss415]

@Little6ster merci 6ster! i'm happy you like it :)

chou-fleur

[Little6ster]

@russbuss415 ha ha! very cute! ;°)

[BarleyC]

Great song, Russ! It deserves constantly inflating plays!

[russbuss415]

@BarleyC thanks so much Colin! i can only hope so :)

[weegingayin]

Is there a bouncy castle inside the inflatable church. I can just see the pastor and the bride and groom bouncing up and down during the ceremony and them missing each other when the pastor says you may kiss the bride.

[russbuss415]

@weegingayin not to mention all the concussions!

[UKISOCIETY]

Just don't pop the question there. Awesome song, rcdt!

[russbuss415]

@UKISOCIETY lolz, thanks AC!

[UkeIndy]

I was in with the title- good stuff! This is a very sweet song, I'm sure the Mrs. loves it.

[russbuss415]

@UkeIndy thanks Lonna! she hasn't heard it yet, so we'll see :)

[revdrjim]

wonderful! i'm just so glad you posted it here

[russbuss415]

@revdrjim thanks for the kind words Jim!

[revdrjim]

wonderful! i'm just so glad you posted it here

[craigbrandau]

Great song Russ!

[russbuss415]

@craigbrandau thanks mucho Craig!

[SailQwest]

Great song, Russ!

[russbuss415]

@SailQwest thanks Kim!  have a great weekend :)

[AcousticMonster]

Geez...another original? You're a song writing machine!

[russbuss415]

@AcousticMonster thanks Danny! i wish i could write more but i usually have writer's block for months at a time.

[AcousticMonster]

@russbuss415 You're welcome. I need to write more myself. Just been too busy with life stuff.

[worschd21]

very nice one, russ!

[russbuss415]

@worschd21 thank you Cristoph!

[deach69]

RBAG&S 

your bass looks huge back there.

[russbuss415]

@deach69 mahaloz deach! yeah, it's a biggun but i've been playing it a whole lot more than the ubass lately.

[russbuss415]

@Mbarnardexperience thanks so much!

[krabbers]

this is a brilliant song Russ , most excellent

and baked to perfection

[russbuss415]

@krabbers oh cool! is it like those jumpers you rent for the kids? thanks very much krabbers!
