"I Don't Like Mondays" Hook covers Boomtown Rats

[Hook]

#1 in the UK 4 weeks in 1979, it was a very important song to me and it still is.  All done this morning on the mbr, my intro is, shall we say inspired by theirs.

1 live uke/vocal (stereo)

Brilliant job on the classic!! Awesome version and arrangement! Time after time you do fantastic interpretations of "evergreens". Love it!!

Great cover, Hook. Sounds like it would be quite a challenging song to cover. A lot of different parts and tempo changes. But you pulled it off brilliantly.

[Jarle]

Fantastic version of a classic.

as relevant today as it was then.

[Tangled Wires]

Hook, you seem to be honing in on some of my early 45's with your covers to date for this fest 

Utterly brilliant how you have interpreted this on the Uke, and turned it into a jaunty bounce along song.

Great song choice and a performance to match.

[Burtog]

Stunner. Gotta say that is one of the best covers you've done, perfect in every way, liked how your vibe gives the song a more positive slant, backing singing and ending really worked a treat too.

Bro, WOW. From the opening refrain, I was stopped in my tracks - and it got better and better!
What a great version. Fantastic and original, you made this song yours - and you had me singing along!
Perfect. 10 out of 10.
Braw & Maw On.
