[samuel588]

[harrychef]

brilliant mate

[itsmejames12221]

i know the granddaughter of george formby and im learning this song for her birthday :)

[BOT101st]

@itsmejames12221

he didnt have any sons or daughters though, let alone granddaughters

[itsmejames12221]

@BOT101st i would like to know how you could possibly know that??

[BOT101st]

@itsmejames12221

He said in his "friday night show" or something called that he never had any children. Im only going by what he said so yeah.

[vaj99]

sing in a lancashire accent.

[ricksteruk]

I'll try to next time I promise!

[celticghirlxxx]

lol That's brilliant. I just got a uke but I'm not getting it at all. I keep going to play guitar chords on it and it's a bit annoying, but i will stick with it. I want to learn this song lol.

[mkcwebmaster]

Well, it's different. You're playing it like a guitar and you've changed a couple of chords (intentional?) - not bad but I'd recommend watching wardsoft's version to get the correct chords.

[ricksteruk]

Ta for the comment. Yep, I fancied a bit of a dimished chord in there for a laugh... the charts I looked at didn't sound right so I altered them. Watching the video again it almost looks like I'm holding a plectrum doesnt it....

[dibblethwaite]

Nice one Rick. I see you're a Bath Hotel man. It used to be my local till I left Morecambe 20 years ago. There's a fair change George Formby had the odd pint in there too since the Winter Gardens is just round the corner.

[TheSingingCritic]

Nice one!

[johnalanbirch]

Hi there. Great song and a great cover! I've been playing uke a little lately - anyway i was wondering if you had any tabs of how the chords translate to guitar - i'm interested in doing a version. I know I can figure the chords out myself from your web version but if you had any tabs that'd be great man.

cheers.

[ReeT0ric]

Nice work

[Xear]

Good job! :-D

[LillybethNoire]

i thought this'd be rubbish.

it's actually really good.

your voice is lovely!

xx

[lvjuvan]

delightful! almost better than the original

[LaurenGod]

Haha! Excellent :) Well done. That made my day.

[rubsley]

Brilliant! I just picked up a uke half an hour and it's awesome. Gotta learn this.

Do you know "I'm a Froggie"? That's my favourite!

[grame141]

you need the acient though

[bobbyboy11uk]

me to i just gotta to learn this. brilliant video. its a 5 ***** for me

[Bijumaro]

This is just fantastic, great job!

What chords are you playing?

[Rooke4Chess]

I think it sounds good, your uke playing is really good

[nikki1778]

Are you a dwarf?

Like fuck you would be able to clean windows!

[sgtcore]

Awesome!

[LIVERLADD]

Very good mate i recon it was best played on the "Uke" banjo but still brilliant. well done:)

[Bobslead]

Well i can only say two things about this you have mucked up your sound your voine is not loud enough. And that to all of those people that have sed that it is just like the original well that is because it is supost to sound like the original because that is the acual song

[leeperryismerry]

Clueless. Simple.

[Rooke4Chess]

What in heck are you saying, is he singing too soft, or does he sound like the origional, are you saying he mucked it up or did it the way it was 1st done... Not to argue or come across as being cross, but what?

[Imzaby]

your version's great! sounds the closest to the original I've ever heard... (the uke bit I mean, the singing is as you poited out perfectly trademarked with the "windOws";) ). Brilliant!

[LRMMcDonnell]

I read the description, but still, it's pronounced 'windas'! lol, great cover ^^

[choobalabop]

you legend!

you have an ovation ukulele! sweet. is it nice to play?

i'm getting an ovation guitar

they look great. great singing and playing :)

[drno62]

[iwanalun]

[Ademusicuk]

great vid, what program did you use for the old movie effect?

[ricksteruk]

Thanks! I use an apple MacBook pro laptop and the built in iMovie software which has quite a few video fx on it... I ran the 'old black and white' effect then the 'aged film' effect then I added two extra audio tracks.. the scratched record and the film projector.. viola!

[atticjnr]

George Thornby is amazing aswell!

:D

[OldOx]

Thanks! I posted the chords on my website.. the link is in the video description.. go to the top and hit the blue 'more' button after.. "OK.. so I had to do this..."

[creamofcardstv]

I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. Please check out my new clip of 1930's cigarette cards of George Formby, Errol Flynn, Gracie Fields, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Gary Cooper, Fred Astaire, and Vivien Leigh.

[ricksteruk]

Go for it!! Stick a video up on your page and let's see what you can do!

[SparxTH]

Lol!

You're voice hasn't even broken. xD

What are you, like, a mini chav?

But agreed with ricksteruk, lets see what you can do. ;D

On topic, great cover :]

I like your vocals, they're unique to the song, I think, but they suit. :]

And the ukelele playing is to a tee. :] Nice one! =D

[modsruleok]

theres always one!

[Flingell]

Excellent! I've just got a uke and I NEED to be able to play this. Fancy sharing your tabs?

[tangshou]

Turned out nice again Mother

[sapiensvir]

Brilliant rickster . hats off to you. like the Black and white effect.

[morricone1900]

You are now officially a ukelele player, now that you know this song. ;) I wonder if Roger Rabbit knew this one.

[valombreuse]

Great Job Mate, sure you didn't take the easiest one ;-)

You made the best of it for sure, thank you again for that good time, I'm gonna check your site for the chords right away. Keep going
