One for the weekend… The Beatles Complete On Ukulele – Roger and Dave are in the middle of a recording project where they are collaborating with many musicians to record ukulele biased versions of all of the Beatles (some with more uke than pthers). One tune a week till July the 21st 2012! There’s also an essay to accompany each tune as well as a running body count of deaths from within the tunes, which is currently running at 15!
007 – Come Together – John Lennon murder reported on live TV
009 – I Will – Adam Green pulls the plug on girlfriend in a coma
012 – In My Life – Hamlet and Ophelia die in suicide pact
017 – Because – Frank expires and meets the gods in the afterlife
022 – Maxwell’s Silver Hammer – Maxwell takes care of Joan, his teacher and the judge in 3 verses
027 – Your Mother Should Know – Oedipus Rex kills his father
048 – Get Back – Drew Smith murders his love object, Loretta and himself.
055 – Fixing A Hole – Kirkland Roberts shot to death for atonal singing.
061 – I’m Only Sleeping – Kati Mac never wakes up.
062 – Eleanor Rigby – Rhe buries Eleanor for fun
064 – A Day In The Life – Car crash in verse two
So, I’m trawling through them and have already heard some crackers including Blackbird, Come Together and A Day in the Life. Really looking forward to hearing the rest as they are released and hope that they can keep it up to completion. [via]
