I love this song. It just gives out a good message to people who need hope. That message is; pay $20 for a uke, things will be less hard. Also, it’s okay to drink at work.
I just like to scream sing this in my room when no one is home. It actually really helps with stress just scream sing your favorite song and BAM you have a smile plastered an your face
Thank you for having this song here. Having seen Amanda F*ing Palmer played the ukulele made me think that I could too. So I picked one up. Seeing this here makes me so happy and to know that I can play this song just like her.
Oh my god!! Another masterpiece by Amanda Palmer I can jam out to!! I’m only twelve but the fact I can scream this when no ones home is really satisfying. Plus, it only took me a couple of minutes to learn these frets
Love this song! My friends love it when I play this for them, and it’s so fun to both play and sing!
Tip: Play G7 on the last line of every bridge, it sounds really good!
It sounds closer to the original recording if you put a capo on the first fret. Just a tip. 🙂
i love this song, and this rendition is very nice!!
This is probably the best song ever. It really does have a great message and it’s so fun to play
I just played this two times in a row, I feel like I can’t feel my fingers, but that’s Oki 🙂 I love this song
Ok this has nothing to do with the song but I had a cut in my finger and now it’s bleeding cause of this lol, amazing song though!!!
