Lyrics & Chords
Verse: D D E E
Chorus: A D E E
Solo: F#m D F#m E

Verse 1:
Nobody gives a damn about anybody else,
Think everyone should feel the way they feel themselves,
Rich men think that happiness is a million dollar bills,
So how come half of them O.D. on sleeping pills,

Pre-Chorus:
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, you all know what I mean,
What's the use of a cry for help, if no one hears the screams,
No one hears the scream,
Chorus:
No voices in the sky, confusion blinds the eye,
Can't take it with you when you die,
No voices in the sky,

Verse 2:
The ones who dedicate the flags to make you brave,
They also consecrate the headstone on your grave,
Ritual remembrance when no one knows your name,
Don't help a single widow learn to fight the pain,

Verse 3:
Politicians kissing babies for good luck,
T.V. preachers sell salvation for a buck,
You don't need no golden cross, to tell you wrong from right,
The world's worst murderers were those who saw the light.

This is my entry to the Jonas Brothers' Fly With Me cover contest. I have to say that I would have done this cover anyway. Someone posted the link to the contest's video on Twitter and that's how I heard about it first. Then, I thought, why not entering the contest. The Jonas Brothers have actually very cool songs and you can win a guitar. Well, I'm not doing it for the guitar, I'd rather have a bass or a ukulele, obviously [^_^] It was cool making this cover. So, please enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it for you ...ciao.

After covering of the main theme of Monkey Island, I decided to go ahead and make a few more covers from that amazing soundtrack. Here you are LeChuck's Theme. Soon to come, The Scumm Bar (^_^)

If you haven't seen my interpretation of the Monkey Island Main Theme go here:

Me playing the main theme of The Secret of Monkey Island on bass and ukulele. The frame all to the left shows the bass which I play the lead melody on. I play it through an effect that takes the tone one octave higher. That's why it doesn't really sound like a bass. In the middle frame I play an ukulele, simply chords. And in the frame on the right I play the bass line.

This is simply a jam and I have never played this song before. The melody just stuck in my head for many, many years, actually ever since I started playing the Monkey Island game on my Amiga around 1990. And finally I am uploading it onto YouTube. Yeah [^_^]

This is my entry to Seeso's Hip-Hop Ukulele Video Contest on Ukuleleunderground.com.

I don't really go well with hip hop but after a few attempts here on YouTube I thought it would be fun to join this contest. And with the hours passing by while making this video, I really got into it and started enjoying it to the max. Hope you'll enjoy it as well (^_^)

The chords are Bm D G F# - there's a part where it goes Bm G D F#. And here come the lyrics:

And the base keep runnin' runnin', and runnin', and runnin', and runnin', and runnin', and runnin', and runnin', and
runnin', and runnin', and runnin', and runnin', and runnin', and runnin', and runnin', and runnin', and...

In this context, there's no disrespect, so, when I bust my rhyme, you break your necks.
We got five minutes for us to disconnect, from all intellect collect the rhythm effect. Obstacles are inefficient, follow
your intuition, free your inner soul and break away from tradition.
Coz when we beat out, girl it's pullin without. You wouldn't believe how we wow shit out.
Burn it till it's burned out. Turn it till it's turned out. Act up from north, west, east, south.

[Chorus:]
Everybody, everybody, let's get into it.
Get stupid.
Get retarded, get retarded, get retarded.
Let's get retarded (ha), let's get retarded in here. Let's get retarded (ha), let's get retarded in here.
Let's get retarded (ha), let's get retarded in here. Let's get retarded (ha), let's get retarded in here.
Yeah.

Lose control, of body and soul.
Don't move too fast, people, just take it slow.
Don't get ahead, just jump into it.
Ya'll here a body, two peices to it.
Get stutted, get stupid.
You'll want me body people will walk you through it.
Step by step, like you're into new kid.
Inch by inch with the new solution.
Trench men hits, with no delusion.
The feeling's irresistible and that's how we movin'.

[Chorus:]
Everybody, everybody, let's get into it.
Get stupid.
Get retarded, get retarded, get retarded.
Let's get retarded (ha), let's get retarded in here. Let's get retarded (ha), let's get retarded in here.
Let's get retarded (ha), let's get retarded in here. Let's get retarded (ha), let's get retarded in here.
Yeah.

Runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin runnin' and... Come on ya'll let's get...Oohhoo!
Aha, let's get oohhoo... in here (right now yeah.) Cookoo, aha, let's get, cookoo, in here... Cookoo, aha, let's get,
cookoo, in here...ow, ow, ow...
ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya...

Let's get ill, that's the deal.
At the gate, we'll bring the bud top drill. (Just)
Lose your mind this is the time,
Ya'll test this drill, Just and bang your spine. (Just)
Bob your head like epilepsy, up inside your club or in your bentley.
Get messy, loud and sick.
Ya'll mount past slow mo in another head trip. (So)
Come then now do not correct it, let's get pregnant let's get hectic.

[Chorus:]
Everybody, everybody, let's get into it.
Get stupid. (Come on)
Get retarded (come one) , get retarded (yeah), get retarded.
Let's get retarded (ha), let's get retarded in here. Let's get retarded (ha), let's get retarded in here. (R-E-T-A-R-D-E-D)
Let's get retarded (ha), let's get retarded in here. Let's get retarded (ha), let's get retarded (woah, woah, woah) in here.

I came across a reggae version of Extreme's 'More Than Words' while watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The band that covered it is called Aloha Sex Juice and sings the song in Hawaiian. I fell in love with that version and wanted to make a cover with the same feel and of course on my ukulele. So, here you are,.. enjoy!

Yumebanchi is one of my favorite songs from RADWIMPS, an awesome Japanese band. Kat's acoustic cover of the song (watch here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ka tmcd0well) inspired me to make my own version on bass & uke. Btw, I don't really speak Japanese, but I enjoy singing it Japanese, so, bear with me ;-) Enjoy!

昨日に夢を託せば後悔で 明日に夢を託せば希望で
でも今日の僕に夢を託して何になるの? だから

うずくまって 閉じこもって 明日を待っていたんだよ
だけどなんで 明日になってみれば今日がまた始まるの?

「未来のために今がある」と言われても僕は信じないよ
だって「今」のこの僕が昨日の僕の未来

「現状(いま)に甘んずること勿れ」と言われても僕は笑えないよ
だって「今」のこの僕が誰かの夢見る未来

叶えたい夢ばかり数えて 叶えた夢は泣きながらきっとどこかへ

僕はきっと今いつかの夢の上に立っているんだね
僕はきっと今誰かの夢の上に立っている

息を吸って そして吐いて それだけじゃ喜べなくなって
欲しくなって あれもこれも あの人のも だけど

僕にあって 君になくて 君にあって 僕にないものがあるから
僕は君を 君は僕を好きになれたんでしょ?

叶えた夢の数を数えよう 叶わない夢は誰かがきっとどこかで

僕が立っているここはきっと誰かの願ってる場所で
誰かが立っている場所がきっと僕の望む場所で

誰かがきっと今僕にとっての夢を叶えてくれている
僕もきっと 誰かにとっての夢を叶えている

"Koko ni iru yo" is the prequel to Aoyama Thelma's "Soba ni iru ne," a very popular Japanese ballade.

My wife Aya and I wanted to create a sequel to our Dilemma cover, and found that it would be fun to cover a Japanese song, even though my Japanese skills are rather poor. Nonetheless, it was a lot of fun rapping in Japanese. ^_^

Chords: A E/G# D/F# E

What a beautiful song. Friends of mine asked me to perform this song at their wedding and here is my first try. Unfortunately I won't be able to duplicate myself for the wedding gig. Oh well, one me will do just fine ^_^

Lyrics to 1234 :
1-2-1-2-3-4
Give me more loving than Ive ever had
Make me feel better when Im feeling sad
Tell me Im special even though I know Im not
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
Barely getting mad
Im so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
Its as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
Theres only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
Theres only one way to say
Those three words
Thats what Ill do
(I love you) I love you
Give me more loving from the very start
Piece me back together when I fall apart
Tell me things you never even tell your closest friends
Make me feel good when I hurt so bad
Youre the best that Ive had
And Im so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
Its easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
Theres only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
Theres only one way to say
Those three words
Thats what Ill do
(I love you) I love you
(I love you) I love you
You make it easy
Its easy as 1 2 1 2 3 4
Theres only one thing
To Do
Three words
For you
(I love you) I love you
Theres only one way to say
Those three words
Thats what Ill do
(I love you) I love you
(I love you) I love you
1-2-3-4
I love you
(I love you) I love you
