That's brilliant. Take a vaudeville-tinged pop song and amp it up some.

After being told that my "slight vibrato was a pretty good russbuss impersonation" in my last video's comments I thought I had better check out this fabled "russbuss"

[TerryUkes]

Great job, Russ. Very nice strumming staccato beat. Chords there are interesting too.

[russbuss415]

thank you Terry! those chords are strange and somehow work out.

[ukumonkey55music]

good!

russ!!!!

[russbuss415]

thank you monkey-san!

[TokyoUketarist]

Sweet! I dig them chords ; )

[russbuss415]

thanks mucho dude!

[kennymelodica]

nice book ! lots of important facts about space cheez. We own the previous edition without Russ on the cover playing an awesome cover. So we'll have to upgrade. We hear they've cataloged all the space cheez in an easy reference index now so thats a benefit too.

Mostly though we want it so we can always have this awesome cover song handy when we feel like rockin' out ! Brilliant work our wonderful friend - 5 galactic space cheez pieces for you ! Seriously awesome

[russbuss415]

thanks Kenny! i've read that they actually don't catalog space cheez by age and flavor, but by the ability to attract spider monkeys. and i know K and the C's have only the finest spaze cheezzzz.

[keonepax]

Powerful strumming!

[russbuss415]

thanks John! it was fun banging on those strings.

[ukuleleoversoul]

Youre hogging all the awesome! I like sample

[russbuss415]

haha, thanks for the da kine words! lidat.

[thesojuking]

Thats an awesome video! I liked how you started the video. What kind of video editing software do you use?

[russbuss415]

thanks James! nothing fancy really, it was just one of the built-in effects in the latest version of iMovie for Macs.

[BaronK69]

This is sooooooooo over played!

Just kidding - seems I'm not the only one who's never heard this. Great sounding nevertheless, real crisp sound and sweet singing. And good hair too.

[russbuss415]

haha, thanks Baron. it was a a minor hit back in 2003.

[floydbluethereal]

Great!

[russbuss415]

thanks Floyd!

[LeoHareMusic]

I love the chords, the sound is amazing. Did you figure them out?

[russbuss415]

thanks Leo, it's really fun to play! i got the chords from ultimateguitar but transposed it down a bit.

[mjs004]

Man, you got this genre down! Never heard of them. Uke and vocals sound so good!

[russbuss415]

thanks Mike! they had a couple hits a few years back. not sure what they're up to now.

[phillipsderek]

Great cover! Love the sound of that uke and the vocals were excellent.
