I had an attempt at Junes song as I know quite a lot of NY stuff. Only problem is when I played it back , I realise I have the type of voice that would send a glass eye to sleep. Has anyone got any spare helium?
haha love it ... glass eye to sleep!!
NY, he does have that kinda nasal or yeah helium sound to him (suits him though). I may have to attempt this one with a peg on my nose to get the sound effects

One from me that came to mind .....
Easy Beat ..... left Easy Street
Off to tennis ...........on those fast feet
Racing and chasing that elusive ball ....
Game won or lost .... it doesn`t matter,
Its the social side ......and a bit of chatter,
Then it`s off home again ...... music to create brother.

Wow thank you to everyone for the great idea`s - great choices and i liked them all! ..... and i confess i am a bit of a LOTR and Hobbit fan myself
After much thought, I decided i am going to stick with the ukulele theme ......................so have narrowed it down to either ukerator (thanks Baldguitardude) or just ukelady or uke-a-lady moderator ......................
So here it is: uke-a-lady moderator

Re: New Forum Section (15 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hi all, thanks for the welcome, I only just found this thread tonight, must have missed it on my travels around Chordie. I love the idea of a nick name for me, I have been racking my brain trying to think of one. Suggestions? I will also continue to try and think of one, so far all the ones i have thought of seem very lame lol

OK I have just listened to everyone else's versions and, out of the now four versions here, I put mine at 27th......
Jan. Wow! It works great with the uke and you have a smashing voice.
Joe. Brill! Great to hear a 'bluesy' version of this song, it works well.
Mojo. Super! Another different take on this song and you did a great job with it.
I enjoyed listening to all three of these versions. Well done to all of you.
Roger
Roger.......... Awesome, totally different again. That is what is so awesome about us all having ago at these covers, how each of us does it so differently and they are all good! And you are definately NOT 27th!!! I have never heard of Band in a box by the way, is it any thing like audacity (which i have downloaded but never used yet!).

beamer, plenty of time yet, they cant go up before June anyway ....... try different chords maybe? or just make it your own version, your own style, using the same lyrics. I haven`t tried this one yet, but will give it ago
