Rastaman Santa (Dr Sparkles ukulele Christmas cover)

It's a reggae ukulele Christmas everyone! Ho Ho Ho! This little ditty was written by my friend, Doctor Sparkles, who recently made a tutorial video about how to play that reggae strum on your uke. I'll make this vid a YouTube response to that one. Now, in the original CD version of this song on his Sail Away release, there were backing vocals not heard on the tutorial. Since I had custody of these puppets until tomorrow when they go back to the Thumbnail Theatre here in Snohomish, I thought they'd be perfect for the backing job. They don't sing very well. And the kazoo part was horrible! Ugh. Not to mention that she only brought a bright green kazoo, which doesn't work too well with the green screen effect. I'm not one to talk, I suppose, with my green-billed Merry Christmas baseball cap.

Enjoy!




Now, in case anyone was wondering why a person in recovery from addiction would sing a song glorifying weed for Christmas. I'm a recovering alcoholic, but I can't smoke marijuana either. It would be too easy of a step to go from the latter back to the former and that would be disastrous. That said, I don't think marijuana is necessarily a bad thing in and of itself. It's just like any other drug, alcohol included. It's only really dangerous for people for whom it takes over their lives and becomes a top priority. Unfortunately, that could be me, so I stay away from the stuff. Singing about it, that's another story.
