Kate Micucci & Ted (Scrubs) – Screw You (Tab & Chords)

Ted and The Gooch – Screw You (Chords)

When three of my favourite things – ukuleles, Scrubs and Kate Micucci – collide you know a chord sheet isn’t going to be far away. I’m probably going to have to wait months before the episode is shown over here, so It’ll have to be Screw You from the Ted and The Gooch webisode and became the Scrubs ukulele girl.

The song was originally called Fuck You when she did it with Riki Lindhome. I think the joke loses its bite with the clean-up. Swearing can still be beautiful.

The chords to the song are simple. But if you want to jazz it up with the picking, the intro goes something like this:

And the verses like this:

It looks like she’s using her thumb for the G and C strings and her index finger for the E and A strums (sometimes strumming up to hit both strings at the same time.

    [...] Ted is quite taken with another house musician, a pixie-like ukelele girl named Stephanie Gooch. She seems to like him, too, but he can’t get over his flop sweat and tragically dry mouth. J.D. and the Janitor call an intermittent truce (interrupted by Janitor occasionally throwing J.D.’s stuff out the window, or licking stuff he wants to eat) in order to help Ted grow confident. Eventually, he does, and they end up making beautiful music together. Like this. [...]

    I like the newer concept and although it was an accident that I found it was on….
    it doesn’t really matter much.
    I love the ukele girl, one of the reasons a comedy doesn’t make it is if it doesn’t grow (Larry Linville from Mash all the way to Joey of Friends) and this one is definately evolving.
    But, I can’t afford a box to get the new channels, so, dang.
    Good bye TV.
    Gonna be missing ya!

    (but I really like the new ukele girl!)

    boneman: I was getting a bit disillusioned with Scrubs in series 7. But Kate Micucci has single handedly turned that around.

    So great!!! I <3 Kate Micucci.

    What are the third and fourth chords in the chorus? It goes F – G – ? – ?

  10. Jessen on February 7th, 2009 4:49 am

    Found the PDF, sorry, nevermind.

  11. Woodshed on February 7th, 2009 9:18 am

    Ukechick: Not as much as I do ;)

    What’s that U shape in the tab mean?

  13. Dwight on February 27th, 2009 5:32 pm

    Oh, probably a rest…. my bad : )

  14. Woodshed on March 1st, 2009 8:56 am

    Dwight: It’s a tie – the note you’re playing carries on sounding.

  15. Bianca on March 7th, 2009 10:17 am

    So this is a really stupid question, but this is basically my first song, so excuse me. I’ve got all the picking bits, but how does the strumming for the chorus go? I just … can’t make it sound like her. Could you explain it in terms of like .. up/down or something? Sorry! :)

  16. Woodshed on March 7th, 2009 11:02 am

    Bianca: Down, down, up, up, down should see you through.

  17. Bianca on March 15th, 2009 9:25 am

    Thank youuu!!! :D

  19. Woodshed on April 19th, 2009 6:53 pm

    Jhube: They are hilarious. Keep a look out for Monday’s post.

    Bianca: You’re welcome.
