This channel is where I share songs I wrote using lyrics from Der Struwwelpeter (dreadful tales from my childhood) and Emily Dickinson (my best ghost friend). I was going to wait until I got good at singing and playing to share, but life is short so here they are.
Ukulele Wicked Medley - Transposedified
I love Wicked, but the songs are not easy to play or sing. Yet I still manage to sing and play them with the power of a ukulele, the ability to transpose keys, and not caring that I'm not the best singer or player.
"Don't worry if you're not good enough for anyone else to hear, just sing...sing a song" and thus you shall defy gravity.

I wrote this song for Halloween. "Whoo" by Shockheaded Ellen Whoo Can you hear? The owl's near 'Round woodnight, spirits are here Husks are hanging up by the door Open the door... Open the door Ravens' murmur instills a fear Just 'round nightfall, as they appear Spiders building atop the door Open the door... Open the door Whoo "Hail and welcome", the witches cheer 'Round harvest - another year...

Original Song, adapted from “A Literary Nightmare” by Mark Twain (1876) I've always loved this short story about ear worm memes by Mark Twain, which you can read for free online. Can't believe it took me this long to write a song about it! Lyrics: Conductor, when you receive a fare, Punch in the presence of the passenjare! I came across these jingling rhymes a little while ago And read them a c...

When the children have been good, That is, be it understood, Good at meal-times, good at play, Good all night and good all day- They shall have the pretty things A Merry Christmas always brings. Naughty, romping girls and boys Tear their clothes and make a noise, Spoil their pinafores and frocks, And deserve no Christmas-box. Such as these shall never look At this pretty Picture-book. (Such as ...

Переглядів 1735 років тому
I'm having fun putting music to the stories of Struwwelpeter. This one is about a very bad boy who experiences doggie justice. One day I'll make a good recording. In the meantime, I'm just hacking away on my ukulele. How about you grab your ukulele and join me? This Frederick! this Frederick! A naughty, wicked boy was he; He caught the flies, poor little things, And then tore off their tiny win...
