Fake Plastic Trees (Radiohead cover on ukulele)

Check out http://www.hijinksensue.com. I'm Joel Watson and I make a geek comic called HijiNKS ENSUE. I got a Makala ukulele for Xmas so I decided to fool around with it a bit. The song is "Fake Plastic Trees" off of the Radiohead album The Bends. The main track (uke and vocals) were recorded live in Quicktime. The overdubs (vocals 2 and uke 2) were recorded in Quicktime and overdubbed but I couldn't figure out how to splice between the videos like Julia Nunes does. Reverb and a little EQ were added in Garageband.

Seriously classy, I can only assume it's Josh harmonizing. It's very good. You should learn "The Hero of Canton"...just sayin.

@killian913 Actually it's me harmonizing. I did this at like 4am.

@hijinksensue Well good sir, fantastically well done. I am quite impressed. If you want to at any point run a duet, I sing a mean "Creep".

[amatern]

Nice work, I am pleasantly surprised! Keep up the good work, you fancy bastard!

[TheRandomAustralian]

So does this mean that if Josh doesn't "work out" in the lead for Spiderman: The Money Or The Gun, you'll be taking i? You've got the chops!

[DarkMoonHecate]

Love it, you have a wonderful singing voice you fancy bastard. =3
