Sleeping With The Light On. ukulele original, two second song

[thestylophonecouncil]

Boo - Great one!

[thestylophonecouncil]

to explain boo as in 'scary' not 'yuk' - Great as in terrific!

[idrnoel]

This is such a good song. I mean, it's neither sad nor depressing. I dunno... but I've been putting up with my subscriptions' sad and depressing songs lately. This is suc a good change and ... I really like it.

[casetone2514]

@idrnoel

Thanks - I'm afraid I may have one or two of those songs up my sleeve for later.

This song was quite literally conceived in a couple of minutes following a comment on another vdeo by ShaneFoxx - see video response.

[Sharkwell]

:o))) Lovvverly!!! Somehow I am also hearing it in a muffled 1920s band version, through a gramophone, in the back of my head - no idea what's wrong with me, that is not happening the for first time... 8o/

[casetone2514]

@Sharkwell

Thankyou

I suppose the verse chord sequence is a bit 1920s New Orleans Jazz/Blues.

[MrsJiffybag]

@MrsJiffybag

[Heartstrings2009]

This is great,Tony! We love it and fav'd it.

[casetone2514]

@Heartstrings2009

Thanks very much

[UnluckyMum]

Great song Tony- sleeping with the light on is confusing for the brain apparently, well if you are female anyway. It does something to your hormones.

How about that for a random useless fact ? Best to keep it turned off, then you cant see whats coming to get you either lol :)

[casetone2514]

@UnluckyMum

I don't know what slleping with the light on does to your hormones, but when a bloke says "why don't we turn the light out, love" - I know what THAT does to your hormones!

[micknash]

Shane favorited this song so I linked to it, and oh my gosh, this song is brilliant!! Also the speed and ease in which you wrote it is no less than amazing.

[casetone2514]

@micknash

Thanks very much - and to Shane

[Rutle]

Yay another original, this is brilliant, great lyrics.

[casetone2514]

@Rutle

Thanks very much

[mctrmt]

Great stuff, Tony. A perfect little song.

[casetone2514]

@mctrmt

Thank you M-A

[ukeshale]

Loved it! Two seconds you say? No more excuses :)

[casetone2514]

@ukeshale

Yeah, yeah. I hear you. Here's a little gift for you.

Q/ What's the difference between "light" and "hard"?

A/ You can fall asleep with a light on........

[UnluckyMum]

@casetone2514 eww

[fourteentwelve]

Very cool song Tony! I often sleep with the light on. I sleep way better then :)

[casetone2514]

@fourteentwelve

thanks very much

[Sheepstar15]

Ha ha, that was brilliant, Tony. What a great song. I'll be sure to let Ted watch it :)

[casetone2514]

@Sheepstar15

...if you think she's up to it.

[krabbers]

i have a torch fitted to my nighty

[casetone2514]

@krabbers

Oh, is that what it is - I thought you were just pleased to see me!

[UKISOCIETY]

Very cool chord changes there, Tony. Thanks for the shout-out as well! I swear when the lights went out my model dinosaurs would move their heads and arms. Mom said it was the trees' branches moving in the yardlight that shone outside. I didn't necessarily believe her.

[casetone2514]

@UKISOCIETY

Naaa. Mothers lie about that stuff just to make you feel better.

[tehjummie]

Quality.

[casetone2514]

@tehjummie

Cheers Jamie

[ROCSTA13]

Very nice song and

it would fit perfect into a Tim Burton movie!

[casetone2514]

@ROCSTA13

ha. Thank you

[tank10111]

cute!

[ukulelepe]

real nice Tony!

[casetone2514]

@ukulelepe

thank you

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

"If you think a monsters there as you lie in your bed, Remember its not in your room, its only in your head". Fantastic line. Great song Tony.

I used to tell my daughter: "I'm not afraid of the dark - it's the goblins I'm afraid of". Don't worry, she wasn't too terrified.

[casetone2514]

@KenMiddletonUkulele

thanks Ken - I hope the therapist doesn't charge too much....

[ItsDeets]

Such wonderful bari-tones (see what I did there?) I can relate to this song. My lights are always on for the sake of my Teddy and NOT because my lamp somehow distorts itself into the shadow of a deranged killer in the dark.

[casetone2514]

@ItsDeets

How do you know it's the lamp and not a real kil.... no, sorry, I didn't say that

[kennymelodica]

Excellent song. We have to sleep with the lights off cos Captain Gangles sometimes sleeps with his pants off :P Now that's scary!!!!

[casetone2514]

@kennymelodica

Careful Gangles - you'll have someone's eye out with that thing!

[theBradlands]

A Tim Burton Lullaby. Very well done. Is that you Mr. Marbles?

[casetone2514]

@theBradlands

Thanks Brad - No, I lost my marbles a long time ago.

(i hope that joke crosses the pond well)

[phillipsderek]

Witty lyrics, a catchy little tune.

Excellent!

[casetone2514]

@phillipsderek

Thanks - catchy witty ditty is what I went for.

[DearOldNutjob]

Great, Tony.

[casetone2514]

@DearOldNutjob

Thanks Don

[russbuss415]

very clever tune Tony!

[casetone2514]

@russbuss415

Thanks Russ

[UkesterBrown]

The boogey men stay in empty glasses. That is why you keep them upside down or filled with water..... hey, I just thought of that. I gotta go turn my glasses over. See ya. Oh, fun song too!

[casetone2514]

@UkesterBrown

As I say to all the little children I meet. There's no boogey men or monsters to be frightened about, just escaped axe weilding maniacs hiding out in your basement......

[nidgetucker]

Wicked Case

[casetone2514]

@nidgetucker

Thanks

[phatuke]

awesome song for kids, very catchy !!! I'm sure your gonna see lots of views on this one with people coming back to hear it again.

[ShaneFoxX]

@phatuke - but i'm not a kid =]

[casetone2514]

@ShaneFoxX

If you're under 30, you're a kid to me! Have you seen the demographic for my channel? Hell, I'm a kid to many of my subscribers.

[casetone2514]

@phatuke

Thank you.

[ShaneFoxX]

OMG I adore it, THANK YOU!!!!!

can I cover it ?

Do you have skype I want to be friend with you !!!!!!

[casetone2514]

@ShaneFoxX

You are very welcome.

It's strange what inspires one to write. Who would have thought that a little exchange of comments on a Youtube video would do that?

PS I really like your channel and what you are doing with FollowTheMusicians

[StubyStubyDoo]

Tony - athat was great fun - loved it.

Need to learn that one for the kids!

[casetone2514]

@StubyStubyDoo

Thanks - the chords are up there.

[russelljenkinsfearn]

Very nice, makes me smile, thanks

[casetone2514]

@russelljenkinsfearn

Thanks Russell

[deach69]

Very cool song Tony!

[casetone2514]

@deach69

Cheers, Deach

[ruth7784]

Yes, first to comment! Woohoo! :-D So, Tony, how many teddys have you got? :-) This is such a sweet song, another one to show to my kids :-) I love it! You're so cuuuute :-D No mention of the terrifying clicking noise in the lyrics. *sticks tongue out* :-D X

[casetone2514]

@ruth7784

I have lots of teddies but I don't wear them that often....what? oh, bears, I see...Nope, no bears. This was in honour of ShaneFoxXs "Wubbie"

[ruth7784]

@casetone2514 You don't have any bears?! That's shocking! :-) I used to search for monsters when I was a kid, I wanted to keep one as a pet. lol. X

[casetone2514]

@ruth7784

I've seen you in Monsters Inc.

[ruth7784]

@casetone2514 I've seen you in, erm *trying to think of something witty to say*...

[casetone2514]

@ruth7784

Toy Story 2? Al's Toy Barn? I get it all the time.

Tenacious D? Kyle Gass - I get that too

Never Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt, though - I can't think why....
