Saturday UkeTube: MMMBops
January 24, 2009
Two versions of MMMBop this week (thanks to the Ukulele Underground thread). But they’ve both found a creative and new way to play it. Also this week is Ian Emmerson of the Re-Entrants‘ epic version of Bat Out of Hell.
Usually I wouldn’t include a video where the uke is painfully out of tune, but I’ve made an exception for Madeline Ava. Partly because I really like the song and partly because of, “It’s OK, Madeline. Your soul’s not out of tune.”
And don’t forget to get in your nominations for Ukulele Video of the Year
Ian Emmerson – Bat Out of Hell
alyssamarie067 – Classical Gas
Madeline Ava – Heart Champions
MAN!
Ian Emmerson is my new ukulele god… er… well… after Woodshed, of course.
I have been wanting to learn Bat out of Hell for ages but it’s such a monster to tackle. Awesome! (If you’re ever bored and looking for something to tab Al… hee hee!)
Paul: Lorks-a-mercy. It takes most of the afternoon just to listen to it ;)
i am with you paul…ian’s BOFH is epic!
I love the song “MMMBop”
thanks for the shout out al
Cheers for sticking my ‘Mr Meat’ on, wobbly sound and all, and thanks for the responses. That was actually take 2 – take 1 was better, but coming in at 11 minutes and 8 seconds, was too long for YouTube!

Pete: I can’t agree with that. It’s an awful song.
krabbers: You’re welcome. I’ve put it on the front page as well.
Ian: Save it for the DVD.

Wow, I wish Rob MacKillop had more time up there. That was a glorious 38 seconds.
I must thank Lisazy for letting me know about the new series of FOTC – her excitement is second only to my own :D
hey there,
great compilation ^_^ the video “classical gas” by alyssamarie067 is very impressive as well as lisa’s FOTC — wow! and, thank you for including my interpretation of “friday i’m in love” — very much appreciated!
greetings from switzerland (-u-)
Zym! I’m so glad you’re an FOTC sucker like me! :) I hope you saw the one tonight – it was AWESOME!
Thanks Sebi – you’re my uke’n hero! :)
Awesome Bat out of Hell
cbf and Mary: I’m hoping this is the first part of a Meat series.
zym and Lisa: I only realised when I saw your video as well. I torrented the first one and I was a little disappointed. Perhaps it was the over-expectation. Second episode downloading as we speak.
sebi: Thanks for you contribution.
@lisaxy
Mrs Zym doesnt let me kiss posters of them, though ;)
Just watched the second episode in the series. Hilarious.
Oh my God, I’M FAMOUS!!!!!!
Hey Ian,
If you’re ever bored and you want to do another Meatloaf one, I suggest Heaven Can Wait, I think it would sound great on the uke
