Bad Girls and Mean Women Songbook

Uke Hunt (awesome ukulele site) posted a link to this little book, Bad Girls and Mean Women Songbook, and seeing as I was brought up with my farther playing, 'Aboard the good ship Venus,' it more than piqued my curiosity.

Costing me only 12.50 delivered to my door I couldn't resist, so here I am eagerly awaiting delivery.

It says on the website, "Ooooolala... This is a very naughty songbook indeed! This little black book contains 10 songs, some dating back as far as the 1600's, that are so raunchy that they would make Snoop Dog blush. Each song has both the ukulele chords and the musical score. Also included are 2 recipes and 5 potions plus a fold-out ukulele chord chart.
WARNING: ADULT CONTENT!."

If you want your own copy just follow the link above.

Cheers
Stewart.

Song list for the 14 of August

Right, here's your song list for the 14 of August that I know you have all been sweating on so you can get stuck into some practice.



Two new songs
1/ Saidie the cleaning lady. See link below. I'll also bring along copies.
2/ When the Saints go marching in as requested by Rae. Page 263 of your songbook.
3/ The Seekers version of Waltzing Matilda
4/ Botany Bay. Page 48
5/ A world of our own. The Seekers on page 10.
6/ Y.M.C.A. on page 272.

Intermission

8/ Leaving on a Jet plane on Page 157
9/ Blowing in the Wind on page 41
10/ Let it Be on page 159
11/ Jamaica Farewell on page 143. Look for the Fm chord, it's different to what some of us are used to.
12/ Do Wah Diddy Diddy (you're going to need a good lung full of air to belt this one out) on page70. (Tacet is Latin for "it is silent".)
It goes something like this

What do you think? Any and all feedback welcome.

What's that? You don't know what to play?



If you're looking for some songs to play, like aren't we all, then I have some sites with hundreds of songs to choose from. Some sites double up on some songs but there is something different in all of them.

So here we go:-

1. Wukulele On the right hand side of their site you will see a list of songbook links in rainbow colours. Hours and hours of fun right there.

2. Uke at the Duke Just scroll down to their second page and they're all there. 

3. Burkleley Ukulele Club More songs than you can poke a ukulele at. Just don't blame me when your fingers start to bleed. 

4. Richard G's Ukulele song book Local from Brissy I believe and songs being added almost daily. 

5. Ukulele hunt Tabs and Chords From beginners to the ridiculously hard. 

6. Ukester Brown Fore something a little bit different. 

7. Dr. Uke Awesome site with sound files for each song for you can play along with. 

8. Got a Ukulele More songs plus a Christmas selection. 

9. Ukulele Tabs Just how many songs can one ukulele player play?
