Sebi is back from his confrontation with the evil music industry empire stronger than ever with a great performance (including on-screen lyrics and chords) of the theme from Hayao Miyazaki’s excellent film, My Neighbor Totoro….

Not sure what it is, but I would listen to that voice sing the phone book….

Adorable home-made Gondry style video for this equally adorable original number….

UncleJeff64, who passed along the link to this beauty, rightly considers it to be a direct challenge to his clawhammer-uke mantle….

I am sure you have heard that Sebi, a UkeToob favorite, had his YouTube account yanked because Warner Music complained that he was infringing on their copyrights by making ukulele cover versions of songs by their “artists” (sarcastic quotes mine.)  I love ukulele covers, but I wouldn’t not buy a song by the original performer because there is a cover version on YouTube.  In fact, I have often bought original versions of songs I only fell for because of a ukulele cover I heard online.  Warner really missed the mark on this one, as Sebi politely points out in his funny new song that he published completely free of copyright idiocy….

Rocking Around the Xmas Tree

Man Overboard

Since I pulled everyone out of the UkeToob Pantheon for a day it’s time to pay the gods back by inducting a new member.  Didn’t have to think twice about this one since I find myself trying to find a reason not to pick a new Baron video as the best of the day and almost always fail.  His whiskey-burned vocals are a perfect foil for his sweet strumming, and his choice of songs always surprise and delight.  Subscribe now, you will never regret it….

Since I broke my own rule yesterday by taking Danielle Ate the Sandwich out of the UkeToob Pantheon for a day, it’s only fair to let Ken out for one too.  True to form, and to illustrate my point about how every video his posts is a keeper, I only had to try one to find a winner with this loose and funky improv based on his recollection of an old favorite….

Chords and Lyrics: Albert Hammond It Never Rains

I promised not to push any more Danielle Ate the Sandwich on you when I put her in the UkeToob Pantheon because every video she makes is the best video of that day and you should already be subscribing to her, but then she goes and proves my point so well by making this crappy Miley song beautiful, forcing me to break my promise.  Perfect backing by the Boulder Acoustic Society.

No tabs, chords are lyrics for this one – it’s a bad song and Danielle fixed it for you….

Well done tutorial of a beautiful arrangement….
