I first heard this song playing meekly in the background in the classic film "A Clockwork Orange".
There is a transistor radio playing this song in Alex's old bedroom when he comes home from the correctional facility that was supposed to have cured his violent tendencies. It is the soundtrack to Alex's awful realization that his family has totally replaced him while he was away, but giving his room and his place as 'son' in the family to a total stranger. I always thought the song was weird and wonderful and great. In college, my friend Sylvia and I were going to do a performance art piece using this song and a blowup doll full of helium but it didn't happen...well..not YET! In the meanwhile, please to enjoy "I WANNA MARRY A LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER" ...because when I think about it...I really DO want to.

  • hey, that instrument can be what we call on brazil cavaquinho or cavaco?

    they are very simillar and have the same roots on portuguese saylors man.

    the biggest diferences are the wood that they use to build the body and the tuning.

    standard ukulele uses reentrant tuning gcea

    and standard cavavo tuning is dgbd

    

  • @naymeequillo hey it can be what in brazil we call cavaquinho
