what songs should I learn on my uke?
« on: May 02, 2009, 09:30:55 PM »
taking suggestions for songs to learn and sing on my new ukelele.  It's got a pickup so I can go electric.  I'm sort of like poindexter in revenge of the nerds (a classic movie by the way).

A local uke school here in Wilmington plays a cover of the Golden Girls song in their radio ads. Why not that?

George Harrison was a big uke fan.  So, I'd suggest anything from the Beatles catalog.

This is totally confusing. Those fingerings don't sound right nor are they anything close to the chord fingerings in my book of uke chords.

Am I being super obvious in suggesting Ram On on the Paul Mcartney album?[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpGtqeMH4Rs[/youtube]  This makes me want a ukelele.

You beat me to it. Ram On would be the obvious choice for me. Also, anything by Dent May would be a good choice as well.
