A comedy song written by Eric Idle for the ending of "Life of Brian". For a week on The Seasons where we are considering songs that we either "love to hate" or "hate to love". I actually love this song, but hate the fact, that, owing to the current appalling state of the World, we really need to follow the advice in the lyrics! If you play the ukulele and would like to see what our weekly inter...

A song written by Lionel Bart and made popular by Cliff Richard in 1959. Definitely a song I "love to hate" ... the lyrics are positively creepy! (If you play the uke, please come and find us at seasonistaforum.flarum.cloud/)

A song composed by David Rose, for the 1960 film of the same name starring Doris Day and David Niven. For a week on The Seasons where our host has, rather cleverly, asked us to sing songs that we love to hate, or, alternatively, hate to love. I consider this a very silly song, so it falls into the first category! (If you play the uke and would like to join our weekly online get-together, we can...

A track from Carole King's wonderful "Tapestry" album (1971). For a week on the Seasons where we are thinking about losing our way or finding way back home again ... or both. (If you play the uke and would like to join us for our weekly get-together, we are at seasonistaforum.flarum.cloud/)
SEASONS OF THE UKULELE 674 ... THE INTRODUCTION!

Here it is, Folks ... don't get lost! With thanks to the dulcet tones of Johnny Marvin and his ukulele in a 1926 recording ... and the equally dulcet tones of the "Waze Lady"! (In fairness, my problem with Waze was probably of my own making - the app was telling me to go right, while the sign in front of me was telling me to go left. I chose to believe my eyes ... this was a mistake!) (NOTE: If...

This is another one I didn’t think of but it has to be here doesn’t it? I really think old Elvis Aaron should’ve taken the hint a bit earlier though. Good one Val.
Merci beaucoup, John! (I have a feeling it might be the first one that came into my mind and I don't even like Elvis P.)
What a big beautiful beast that uke is! I want one! Lovely song, Val. I don't think I know it. Pickettywitch always makes me think of the Fast Show.
Thanks so much for the listen, Bob! (I am desperately trying to think how Pickettywitch are connected to "The Fast Show", which I used to watch.)
I figured this one would turn up, that 8 string sounds sweet and full, good one Val.
Many thanks for the listen, Graham! (I don't use the 8-string very often because it tends to drown out the singing, but it's quite fun to play.)
Hadn't heard this one in a while, sounds great Val! Excellent video too :)
Many thanks, Kev!
This is scary :) Understandable why you chose it :)
Sorry for the belated "thank you", Kev! (Yes, those lyrics ARE scary!)
She sings good !
Thank you!
@ your very welcome! And I also subbed!
@@NakkuruzuEkiduna That is very kind ... thank you!
@@limousinlil your welcome! I’m almost to 720! If you subscribe you’ll become 711th
Otra excelente versión e interpretación, felicidades una vez más desde Madrid y gracias, like 5
Muchas gracias, José!
Beautiful uke version, thank you for bringing it to the Seasons!
Very many thanks, Ylle!
Nice one! 🤩
Thanks so much for the listen, Heinz!
I was just thinking of this one Val. I'm glad you got it first. I was having trouble making it sound any good, but you sure managed.
Well, I agree, Jim - for some reason it's not a very standout song; perhaps you have to be Elvis to make it work! (I don't like Elvis, by the way ... I'm sure you would have done a much better job.)
Great choice Val. Super rendition!
Sorry, Jim ... I keep finding comments I haven't replied to; been a bit distracted! Many thanks for the listen and the kind words!
@@limousinlil No rush Val. I just found one that I hadn't responded to that was 6 months old.
@@PHJimY Well, I certainly hope it wasn't MINE! 🤣
The title seemed familiar but I couldn't place the song. Man that uke is huge and sounds huge as well! Great one Val ~
Many thanks for the listen, Kev! (The uke is my Pono "Big Bari" ... which is, indeed, huge!)
Don’t think I knew that. Nice melody!
Many thanks for the listen, John! (Well, that song DOES go back a bit ... you are obviously FAR too young to remember it!)
A new song to me, thank you for a splendid introduction! Is this a steel string instrument? (Sounding very good!)
Thanks so much, Ylle! (The uke is my Pono "Big Bari" ... nylon strings but the D and G strings are wound. I've had it for ages, but I stopped playing it for a while because the G string needed changing, which required a hiatus of about 2 years!)
I’m Bwian, and I appwoove of this song 👍
Thank you, Bwian ... I appwoove of you appwooving!
This is really a great song and your take is bright indeed Val ~
One of my favourite films, "Life of Brian" ... encapsulates all that was great about Monty Python. Many thanks for the listen, Kev!
I really like the stuff between the chorus lines! De do de do de do...
Yes, well, y'see, Cody ... the problem is that I can't whistle; hence the improvisation. Many thanks for the listen!
Great song choice and delivery. :)
Thanks so much for the listen, Ylle!
Well I did say that anyone who wanted to plead Thornton was welcome to, and I’m glad I did 👍. Classic Python, and let’s face it, a philosophy of life that’s needed now more than ever 😊
Yes ... needed more than ever now, and it gets worse by the day! Many thanks, John!
I've got a lot of love for Doris but this is a stinker! Great choice, Val!
Thanks so much for the listen, Bob! (The trouble with Doris Day - in my humble opinion - is that she's just so darn "chirpy"!)
It’s one of only a few CR songs that I don’t mind listening to funnily enough.
Many thanks for the listen, Graham! (I just don't like the man!)
I agree the song is awful (even the Young Ones couldn’t save it) - and you sounded angry at it while playing - which expresses a good attitude to it, I think, and makes a compelling performance!
Oh, thank you, Paul! HORRIBLE song!
Truly terrible. The song I mean, not your rendition of it. 😊
Well, that's Doris for you! Many thanks for the listen, Steve!
Cliff is one of my least favourite singers of all time - so this was a good choice! 😆 I certainly prefer your version to his! :-)
Oh, that's kind, Del! (I think I'd prefer anyone's version to his as a matter of principle.) Many thanks for the listen!
Fun song Val, I don't remember this one, but I was exposed to a lot of Doris Day in my youth :) Always amazed by your video skills ~
I think there was a lot of Doris around in our youths, Kev! (Many thanks for the listen, Kev ... the videos are supposed to compensate for my total lack of ability!)
Beautifully played!
Thanks very much, Ylle! (And my apologies for the belated reply!)
Well I never knew this was a Lionel Bart song Val. I guess if you examine the lyrics too closely they are a bit iffy, but I did love Cliff’s version with The Young Ones 👍
Apologies again, John! I don't know where I've been the last couple of weeks. Many thanks for the listen ... so far as I'm concerned, I've always found Cliff himself a bit "iffy"! (Ooh, aren't I horrible!)
Thanks for kicking things off Val! What a great song. I had never heard of PDFTD before but I thought with Doris Day and David Niven, how could they go wrong? Having watched the trailer, it looks like a lot of fun. I must seek it out.
Ye gods, John ... sorry I've been so long replying. Thank you! (I just find Doris so "cute-sy!")
Terrific song, sounds great on that big uke Val.
Thanks very much, Graham ... and apologies for taking so long to get back to you!
Doing all the backing vocals here...
A belated "thank you", Steve! (Sorry, I've been a bit distracted.) Could have done with your backing vocals!
This was one of my Mum’s favourites… 😢
Aw, Berni! Many thanks for the listen!
Lovely, Val. Beautifully played and sung.
Thanks very much, Bob ... and my apologies for not replying sooner!
A clever choice! Nicely done.
Many thanks for the listen, Paul ... and profound apologies for taking so long to reply!
Good find, Val!
Many thanks for the listen, Brian ... and my apologies for the delay in replying; been in a bit of a blue funk for the last couple of weeks!
OMG I love this show and it never occurred to me that this song would fit the theme of SOTU 675! I'm so glad you did it! Thank you, Val!
I played Gad in my church’s production. I remember we actually performed it once in a penitentiary- talk about captive audiences! 😂
@brianfergus839 hilarious!
Thanks so much, Ila! (And thanks so much for the week ... and the prize!)
Brilliant song and rendition!
Very many thanks, Ylle!
Sweet playing and singing Val, good song choice too.
Thanks so much, Graham!
Wonderful song and performance Val! You really nailed that picking arrangement ~
Thanks so much for the listen, Kev ... and the kind words!
Incredible 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
Well, I wouldn't go that far! Many thanks for the listen, Keity!
The lovely Carol King! How can you go wrong. Beautiful cover Val.
Very many thanks, John ... even I can't go wrong with the lovely Carol King!
A song that was born the same year as I was. Great choice Val! Nice arpeggio playing.
So you were born in, er ... counts back on fingers! Many thanks, Jim!
A fantastic song, Val. I never really listened to the lyrics before. You did a positively lovely job of it. Thank you!
Thanks so much, Ila!
Very nicely done!
Many thanks, Ylle! (I had great fun trying to fit the train tracks in there.) So sorry for not getting back to you soon!
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very many thanks!
Lovely, delicate version!
That crackle and marching in the background gives this a real authentic Victorian feel. I asked some of my cousins why they voted for Brexit, only to be told “To make Britain Great again”. I asked when it had been great for our working class family… but they brushed that question aside with “Let’s not talk politics!” Sigh…
Ooh, you noticed the marching sound! Thanks so much for the listen, Berni! (So far as talking about politics is concerned ... aargh!!!)
You really bring out the pathos in this song, Val. Not a track I would have named from the Album from memory if asked. My favourite track is”….Natural Woman”. I won a drag contest at Uni as a young man singing that 😆
A DRAG CONTEST ... ye gods; you have hidden depths, Berni! Many thanks for the listen!
Tapestry is a classic album I remember well from my youth, because my mom played the record often while doing errands around the house! Truly love version Val!
Thanks so much for the listen and the kind comment, Kev!
Lovely picking here! I have Tapestry, although I don't know this song especially well somehow.
Thanks so much for the listen, Edwin ... to be honest, it's not a song that I know particularly well, either; I just came across it when I was trying to find something appropriate for the week.
Very original take on this song Val! I was moved to tears by the Johnny Cash video. I need to check out the original, but I've definitely enjoyed your take. One of your best performances ~
Thanks so much, Kev! (I'm going to have to listen to Johnny Cash's version.)
