I’ve written up a page about Ukulele Songs: songs that are heavily associated with the ukulele. They’re the ones that people who know nothing about the ukulele will ask you to play, the ones you’ll see hundreds of ukulele versions of on YouTube.
It’s quite interesting to note that most of the songs are from the ukulele heyday of the mid-20s but weren’t primarily associated with the uke until picked up decades later.
As well as including the definitive versions of those songs, there are links to less well known but equally good (and often better) than the better known songs and also links to tab, chords and instructional videos.
Before any Jake fans get up in arms, this page is just for songs. I’ll be doing a ‘Ukulele Music’ page at some point.
If you think I’ve missed anything or you’ve got any suggestions for ukulele music page (and I need help on that one – I’ve only got three so far) leave a comment and let me, and everyone else, know.
Thank you so much for providing info for these great songs. I just discovered “Tonight, you belong to me” and it is so sweet, so perfect for a very casual ukulele player like me. I can’t wait to play it to my special guy ;-)
