Will Smith and Stefan Raab – Men in Black

The video of Will Smith singing Men in Black with Stefan Raab on the ukulele has been knocking around the net for quite a while, but there’s been a spate of people posting about it. No doubt one of the big boys posted about Men in Black on the ukulele and all the two-bit bloggers without a single original thought drifting around the cacophonous wasteland that they seem to think constitutes a brain decide to do a post about Men in Black on the ukulele. So here’s my post about Men in Black on the ukulele.

There are only two chords in it: C#m7 and F#7. When you’re strumming, keep a constant up, down rhythm but hold and release the chords to get some short chord strums along with plenty of funky clicking.

    stefan raab has a brilliant interview with angus young somewhere on youtube too, which also involves his delightful ukulele playing

    This is brilliant. Great sounding uke too, and Stefan is better than a clutch of backup singers. Go Will Smith knowing lyrics to a song you haven’t rapped for a time!!!

    Even though I saw it was Will Smith, I still thought maybe it would be the Stranglers. Alas, no.

    But fun!

    I sent this to friends about a year ago. Thanks for linking us up again it is fun. I have a request that perhaps will get on your blog as one of the repetitive questions you get. I would like to get ukulele chord diagrams that I can paste onto MS Word files or Excel files that I can use in postings on my blog. I would actually like to find blank chord diagrams so that I can create some unusual patterns taught by an old-timer from our club.

    Thanks

    Cakemaster: He’s a funny guy (for a German).

    cbf: Indeed he does. It’s at the bottom of my rock gods on the ukulele post.

    edi: You’re welcome.

    Phreed: That’s nothing. I can remember all the words to Fresh Prince of Bel Air!

    Mary-Anne: Sorry to disappoint.

    Ed: Indeed!

    Jeff: I shall hopefully get a post up about it before too long.

    Here you go, Jeff.

    And here’s a black chord. Hope that’s what you were after.

    [...] Uke Hunt – Oh my. What a find. My righteous dude stumbled across this video, of Will Smith singing Men In Black with Stefan Raab playing the Ukelele. I loved it. It made me smile on the inside. It made me feel nostalgic of Fresh Prince Days… and it was all-in-all, a great find.  So I looked up on the google, and came across this website.  Cute.  [...]

Got something to say?
