Re: 42 Monkeys (abridged blues version)

I watched some blues ukulele tutorials on youtube and learned some blues chords and a progression. I wondered, what can I do with this new found knowledge (a little knowledge is a dangerous thing...)

I remembered the song "42 Monkeys". "If 42 Monkeys tried to steal MY mom, I'd be singing the blues!" I thought. So I tried to make a blues version. Singing the song "blues style" made it much longer, so I cut out some parts. So this is "42 Monkeys, the abridged blues version".

Check out the real song at

(Note, it's entirely possible that the monkeys did steal my brain, and I just haven't missed it yet...)

Fantastic!

I think it's quite creative to play blues by an ukulele.
