Play The Part

This tumblr will be dedicated to posting ukulele covers done by yours truly. I found posting them on my regular blog to be somewhat out of place. So enjoy! Oh oh, and I take requests! Strictly covers, no originals...yet. That is until I feel comfortable enough to share them with you critical strangers.

"Fly Me To The Moon" cover Not sure who the original singer is, I just adore this song.

'I Could've Been Your Girl' She and Him cover.

Exactly.

"It's Hard To Get Around The Wind" Alex Turner cover You may recognize this song from the film 'Submarine'. Sweet film, sweet song, oh the sweetness.

'Say Yes' Elliott Smith cover Elliott is perfect for the colder months.

'I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine' Elvis Presley cover I was singing this song to myself the other day, and I couldn't remember where I knew it from, then it hit me. Priscilla! One of the drag queens sings it, love it.

ADVENTURE TIME! This theme is a must if you uke-a-laylayyyy. Seriously the easiest thing to play, I'll teach those who have never played!

'Ode To Tea' I wrote this song in literally a minute, so this is by all means a non serious attempt at song writing. I'm just sitting here, absolutely freezing and in love with my tea because it is the only thing fulfilling me at this time. I think all you folks from Melbourne can agree.

'It Doesn't Matter Anymore' Buddy Holly cover Played around with my measly recording equipment (oh if only you could see it) and managed to include some harmonies in this cover. Oh the joy, THE JOYS of harmonizing, how it brings me such pleasure.

'Cigarettes' Russian Red cover This song was requested by my friend Daniel only a little while ago. I'd never heard the song nor the artist, but when I did I was excited because the singer's voice is quite pretty and unusual and I have a penchant for liking weird voices. She reminds me of Joanna Newsom, but minus the harp.

'Baby It's Cold Outside' Bing Crosby & Doris Day cover Me and Charlotte (charlesjhey) had practice last night and decided to record a cover of this adorably darling and romantic song, in hopes that perhaps one day we'll have a boy to sing it with. Bing and Doris weren't the original artists of this song, but once again, it's hard to trace these classic's origins.

My friend Charlotte (charlesjhey) and I recorded a cover of 'You Are My Sunshine'. I'm not sure of the original artist because that's how it is with these old classics, so many different artists sang them. For name's sake let's go with Nat King Cole because he's my favourite smokey voiced jazz man. Me and Char will be hitting the streets of Melbourne on Sunday for our first ever busking sesh, so listen out for us if you're in town. Char also has a youtube channel with sweet covers, so check her out. http://www.youtube.com/user/charlesjhey?feature=watch

'Baby Won't You Please Come Home' Bessie Smith cover My darling friend Hayden (of Marxisforbros fame) requested this song, so here you are Haydes. Love ya buddy!

[cindysavage]

'After Hours' The Velvet Underground cover Couldn't resist, it's my go to uke song, so easy and chill to play.

'Bluebirds' Adam Green cover Love me some Adam green tunes, they're so fun to play and just a little cheeky. Warning to those precious people out there, this song features the 'C' word, oooooooohhhhh.

[cindysavage]

"Monday Tuesday Wednesday (I Love You)" Betty Driver cover. Most of you will know the Gossling version of this song, given it's use in the Safeway ad campaigns. I actually adore it ever so much and am secretly excited every time it plays at Safeway whilst I do my shopping. I'm not entirely sure if Betty Driver is the original artist, but she's the only singer that sprang to mind.

"Walkin' After Midnight" Patsy Cline cover Country music kinda irks me, but there are a few artists of the genre whom I like and admire and Patsy sure is one of them. Her songs of longing get me.

[cindysavage]

"He Can Only Hold Her" Amy Winehouse cover This song is fun to play, can't resist me a Cmaj7/Dm7 combo...swoon.
