Sophie Madeleine - Cover Song #10 - Nobody Does It Better by Carly Simon

I know it's full of "baby"s and it's a cheesy bond theme, but I recently learnt this song for Jonathan (CJ) Westwood, who "purchased" it during my PledgeMusic fund-raising project (THANK YOU JONATHAN!) It took me a while to learn it, so I thought perhaps the rest of the world should hear it too after all that effort! (I really hope he doesn't mind!)

My version is a mixture of my own arrangement and a few bits of the one posted by Mr. Ukulele Hunt... I had most of it figured out and then realised he'd tabbed it too, which was very useful indeed! My version is slightly different, I use a few different chords here and there and some of the twiddly bits are played differently. But it's more or less the same thing, if you want to learn it too!... http://ukulelehunt.com/2010/10/12/carly-simon-nobody-does-it-better-chords/

P.S. CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHY MY VIDEO/SOUND IS IN SYNC WHEN I PLAY THE FILE ON MY COMPUTER, AND THEN OUT OF SYNC AS SOON AS IT IS UPLOADED?! :( Hrumph.

Would a cool ukelele-fied cover of Samson by Regina Spektor be out of the question? It'd sound so pretty :)

It's not cheesy.

i would settle for an ugly munter if she sang as half as good as you

I dig this song alot, I've heard many versions by many artists, not many do Carly's version justice, Radiohead does a very cool take on it also. But you really suprised me. I saw the Uke and had already written you off. Then you played, "then" you sang! I "really" liked it, thank you. By the way I've never seen you before and your voice is beautifully unique. As for the sync ptoblem, it synced perfectly when I view it. Might just be on your end. Off to hear more of your work. thanks again.

I'm glad Jonathan CJ had you learn this tune.  It's so smoky, so sultry, and so superbly done by you, Sophie.
