Compulsive Video Blog: Me & my ukulele, playing He’s Just Not That Into You

This is what happens when you’re compulsive:

You make it very clear, to yourself and to your readers, that you’re going to be posting less frequently, because you have some really big-ass commitments for the next several months – getting a new partner blog launched, for example – and you’re headed out of town for the weekend, and suddenly you decide you must make a video. Now. Just because.

So you make the video with your ukulele – which doesn’t take very long, so it’s not really keeping you away from your other commitments (like packing to leave in the morning), right?

But then you import the video into iMovie, and you discover that the sound of your ukulele is totally distorted. Like awful bad.

So you proceed to spend the next hour or so trouble-shooting, trying different settings in iMovie, trying different settings in System Preferences. Re-recording a zillion times. But nothing works.

Now you’re really annoyed, and getting this damn video posted becomes a mission. You will not leave until you can get it done.

But technology is a formidable foe, and you are defeated. At least for the moment.

So you post the original video, with the awful sound quality. (Thereby making the hour + spent on trying to sole the sound problem an utter waste of time.) Because suddenly you’re completely obsessive about getting a video up on the blog.

Figuring out the sound issue can wait, but the post must be posted.

So tell me, was it worth it?

Happy weekend, everyone!

PS – If you like this song, you’ll enjoy my CD, Online Dating Blues. No ukulele – it’s me and a jazz trio (I’ll play uke on my next CD) – but check it out and let me know what you think!

New Video: My Ukulele (Might Just Be The Best Love I’ve Ever Had)

Today’s treat: a live video performance of a brand new original song (just finished on Monday).

Having recently fallen in love with the ukulele, and being a self-proclaimed Dating Queen, I thought it appropriate that my first uke song stick to the theme.

Let me know what you think!

And though the lyrics are in the video, here they are again, just for fun.

My Ukulele (Might Just Be The Best Love I’ve Ever Had)

I was lookin’ for a love to call my own.
One that won’t keep me hangin’ by the phone.
I’ve been on a lot of dates, and I’ve kissed a lot of frogs,
And I’ve come to the conclusion that most men are dogs!
Finding a good one is something of a fluke,
But I found a solution: I got me a uke..

..ulele!
Keeps me up all night,

My ukulele
Makes me feel all right.

My little ukulele never leaves me feeling lonely or sad
(So I’m sorry boys, but)
My ukulele might just be the best love I’ve ever had!

My ukulele feels so good in my arms.
And never gets seduced by other women’s charms.
All I have to do is tickle his strings
And he whispers in my ear the sweetest little things.
And thought he doesn’t have any hands or a tongue,
When I’m wearing a strap, my uke is really well hung!

My ukulele
Makes me feel so good.

My ukulele’s
Got really nice wood.

My little ukulele never leaves me feeling unsatisfied
(Girls, how many guys can you say that about?)
My ukulele might just be the best love I’ve ever tried.

Now it’s true my ukulele doesn’t drive a nice car,
Never takes me out dancing our out to a bar,
But that’s okay by me, ’cause we do other things..
My ukulele might be small but he can make me sing!
My ukulele knows just how to make me hum,
And if you’re a guy, you could learn a lot from…

My ukulele
Puts a smile on my face.

My ukulele
Always lets me set the pace.

And though my ukulele’s nowhere near as big as my guitar,
(Size isn’t everything, and besides)
We can have a lot more fun in the back of my car!

I think I’ll bring my ukulele home to meet my mom and dad,
‘Cause my ukulele might just be the best love I’ve ever had!
