This one is incredibly late for the Ukulele Tribute to The Cure. I’m amazed no one did a cover of this as it works very well on the uke.

For those who thought my version of Don’t Fear the Reaper needed more cowbell.

UPDATE: Grant Lee Phillips used a uke in his cover of the tune (Thanks to Anna for the heads up).

    cbf: No, I had to Google b3ta to check what it was (I have been there before).

    brian: Good luck with it. There’s nothing to complicated in there.

    Probably this has been posted before but I was strolling on ebay and found a 25,000 US$ Martin 5K.

    I don’t know about ukes but I guess it has to be the best ukulele ever made because… 25000$???

    I was just thinking about learning this song. Or maybe Love Cats…

    love cats without bass is like sugar free cola, MORALLY WRONG!
    but you did make hot in herre work, so maybe i’m wrong.

    very nice riff

    Granted, it’s not a solely ukulele cover but you should check out the version Grant Lee Phillips did of this song on his “Nineteeneighties” album…definitely some uke in there. Great work and awesome riff! I always look forward to more great stuff here!

    newbie: Thanks for the link. If I remember correctly, they had a few guitars up for sale at extortionate prices as well. I’d say the real value of it is about half the asking price.

    ukulelezo: I look forward to hearing whichever one you choose.

    cbf: She could pull it off.

    Isaac: It certainly is. This is easily my favourite Cure song.

    Anna: Thanks for that. I’ll add a link to the post.

Got something to say?
