Charlie McDonnell – A Song About Acne
CTFxC man myself but, with this video heading for a million views, this one’s getting so huge I just have to put it up. That’s what she said.
The song reminds me of MJ Hibbett: lo-fi uke, unpredictable scantion, addressing himself in the second person. Perhaps if MJ got Stephen Fry to do an outro for him he’d have as many fans as he deserves.
Suggested Strumming
Most of the way this will suit you fine:
d – d u – u d -
Although you can add an extra strum in occasionally:
d u d u – u d -





Charlie is hilarious :)
great song, too!
Just wanted to say thanks a bunch for featuring me and putting this up :) Being the lazy man that I am I’ve neglected all of the email requests for chords to this song – I’ll be sure to direct everyone here from now on!
Like – Cool!

Charlie is awesome! I’ve been subscribed to him for a while now; I think he is amazing! Thanks for putting this up woodshed, you’re the best =D
…Pro-active solution…Execution…Oblution…WONDERFUL…
Ah yay thanks, I was hoping you’d find this =]
A song of which as a teenager i can really relate from a guy who was the first i subscribed to xD
Great job again Woodshed
Thanks so much for putting this up! Charlie was the first person that I subscribed to also :]
jb240024: And I think it’s doubly hilarious that he slags off the products that are advertised in the video.
Charlie: Thanks for linking me up. And thanks for writing the song in the first place.
Chunky: Like – totally.
Kelsi: No, YOU’RE the best!
Nick: Definite triple word score for the use of ‘oblution’.
Jam: My teenage acne wasn’t so bad. I was hideously over-weight so facial craters were the least of my worries.
Laura: Dang! I wish I was as young and handsome as Charlie so girls would subscribe to me first.
what kinda of uke does charlie use? i’m thinking of purchasing one myself. :)
