new man or neanderthal what are you?  ;D ;D



hey get some blue sky thinking
step outside the box
throw everything up in the air
and see where it lands
throw the baby out with the bath
and use what is left

he's got that new man's inkling
but he hasn't a clue
everything's up in the air
just what's going on
the rules keep on changing
and he can't keep pace
he's so out of his depth
and he's losing faith

he's got that old time religion
and it's holding him back
he can't deal with the new
cos he's stuck in the past
someone give him a push
someone give him a slap
the rules keep on changing
and he can't keep pace
he's so out of his depth
and he's losing faith
blue sky thinking

That uke playing grows and grows with confidence, another oldrottenuke classico. I'm a new neanderthal.

Two ukes, one voice and short, but sweet, song. Nicely played.

I love the vibe, the sound of the ukes, the chord changes, the vocal delivery... bloody everything! There's one chord change in particular that is spectacular. A real killer!

Damn, Jim...you've taken to the uke like a fish to water! I love how everything you've done in this song hits all the right marks - altogether.

I don't even know how to comment on a song with a lyric like this....

throw the baby out with the bath
and use what is left

I will tell you this, I'm loving your uke. I think it's be best addition to your arsenal since I've known you.
