[kylerco05]

You face after the instructions was PRICELESS!!!

[julianmartin10]

about time I tell you how amusing this is - and quite an amazingly example of your vocal range - surprising for a crackpot song!! ending is friggin hilarious though! HA!

[messyhair]

how do you make that picture in picture effect!

[messyhair]

this brought a smile on my face. awesome expressions. hahaha i totally love the irrelevance of the song

[jordanmcmurdie]

hahahaha i love you !! that just totally made my day..i cant stop laughing haha

[lisaxy424]

LOL! Awesome - thanks so much for watching! :)

[CANARVONKID]

I know exactly where to put that banana-phone, and it won't be a pretty sight!

[lisaxy424]

Wow - someone's grumpy today! :)

[CANARVONKID]

Yes but it will pass by morning, but your your singing won't:)

Still it's nice to see a happy face!!

And one that is content!!:)

[lisaxy424]

OUCH! :) Well, I guess that's my strategy...suck, but smile, and people will suffer through it!

[Vix847]

Wow Lisa!! You dealt with him pretty well!

[lisaxy424]

LOL - ukulele haters...they lead sad, sad lives :)

[pearmanator]

Wow!!!! Great entry for Bushman and you are a Raffi fan also? I used to perform Raffi for special ed students., great stuff. I hadn't heard this one yet. Excellent performance, great harmonies and the fact that you are having a good time doing this make it all the better.

[lisaxy424]

HOW COOL! What did you play with him? I became familiar with his stuff probably about 5 years ago - they're cute stuff :) Will you be posting any of those performances!?

[pearmanator]

Oh I never got to perform with Raffi. I just played and sang his songs. No video for those. People oof all ages like his music. Have you heard "Apples and Bananas?" It's a simple, easy song that can catch by surprise at how fun it is.

[OLPandW]

hey, how do you do the split screen?

[lisaxy424]

My new editing program (Magix Edit Pro) allows it - the feature is called "Multi-image"...it's really cool!

[cardboardfrog]

you know you want to post the chords on ukertabs, you do!

very good indeed

[ukewarrior]

Teriffic!

Can we have the TABs please?

Thanks

[tocotodo]

I love your singing and your style. But...

Learn the song so you don't need to keep glancing at the lyrics.

[lisaxy424]

Thanks for the nice comment and suggestion! Unfortunately, I just like to whip these videos out - so I don't usually take the time to memorize each one (I mainly look for the chords, not the lyrics). But thank you again! :)

[tocotodo]

Just whip them out? ...with all the video editing? ;-)

Hope I didn't seem too critical. It's just that the video seemed so cool other than that. OK, howzabout this? Put the chord sheet up to your right and glance at them without turning your head. Nothing cooler than a pretty girl looking up into space like that.

[lisaxy424]

Yeah, that doesn't make much sense does it? lol :) Don't worry about being critical, I'm always looking for ways to improve! I pull up the chords on my computer (that's what I'm actually looking at) - so I can just print those suckers out and put it under the camera. I didn't realize it was so distracting, thank you!

[artworkslive]

you're one sassy lady! loved it.... 5*

[lisaxy424]

That is totally my word - awesome! :)

[ChronosXD]

WOOHOO, BANANA PHONE!!! Heehee, great job on it! You're so lively and fun about it, haha. I love that you kept it at the original tempo too. After Dustin and I recorded ours we listened to the actual song again and thought, "Oh crap, we did it slow!" Good luck in the contest by the way. They're looking for a video they can watch multiple times, and watching yours is really fun. =]

[lisaxy424]

I guess they're just not ready for bananas yet! :)

[kenbank]

You make it look fun! I could listen to you a long time. :)

[lisaxy424]

Thanks Ken! :) Happy 2009!

[monsterbazz]

wow!!!!!! you're making it really hard for me and everyone else. there goes the first prize ^_^ three (!!!) thumbs up, both of mine an the one of my one-thumbed monkey.

[lisaxy424]

I WANT A ONE-THUMBED MONKEY!!! But then he couldn't do things like open jars and fold my laundry...nevermind. :)  THANKS FOR SUCH NICE COMMENTS!
