Channel: UkeCan1
Date: 2014-08-26

Here's a 21st-century song about a 21st-century problems, for Season 132 of the Ukulele.  I counted 15 things mentioned in my version of the song that didn't exist in the 20th century.  How many can you find?

Lyrics (as I sang them, modified from Honor's original):
Intro: C7 C* C7 C* = 0301
||: + + + + :|| (4x)
Woke (C7) up this morning quick as 1-2-3
There’s (C7) something out there just waitin’ for me
It’s like a (F7) world of possibility in an impossible world
Just (C7) start up the iPad and let the magic unfurl
I (G7) need to use the bathroom, I (F7) need to be fed
(C7//^) Let me check my Facebook first instead
C7 C* C7 C7 C* C7 C7 C* C7 C7 F7 (hold)
| + + + + | + + + + | + + + + | + + + + |
Got (C7) something on my back like a world-wide monkey
I’m an (C7) internet user, I’m a Facebook junkie
A (F7) Seasons forum fiend, and a twittering fool
When I’m (C7) not plugged in, I don’t know what to do
I got this (G7) nagging feeling in the (F7) back of my mind
(C7//^) Let me check my email one more time
C7 C* C7 C7 C* C7 C7 C* C7 C7 F7 (hold)
| + + + + | + + + + | + + + + | + + + + |
The (C7) first thing in the morning, last thing before bed
Got to (C7) scratch that itch, the monkey must be fed
I don’t (F7) wanna miss out, so I gotta check in
Give me (C7) Wifi and a laptop, let the party begin
I got some (G7) dishes in the sink, some (F7) laundry on the bed
(C7//) Let me check my YouTube first instead
A (C7) recipe (google it) … a celebrity (google it)
A (F7) classic movie scene [TV show theme] (google it) The latest (C7) Seasons theme (you know you can google it)
[An (C7) SNL scene] (you know you can google it)
If you can (G7) think it up, (F7) search and you will find
(C7//^) Man the internet really blows my mind
The latest (C7) tragedy (google it)
What’s the (C7) weather gonna be (google it)
Did I (F7) win the lottery? (google it)
Do you wanna see (C7) videos of me? (aw, you can google it)
You can (G7) find my channel if you can (F7) spell “UkeCan1”
(C7//^) If you spell it wrong, you’ll get a Google suggestion
Did you mean (C7) U-K-E C-A-N numeral 1?
Or (C7) U-K-E C-A-N T-W-O?
In any case, (C7) you can find me, and you can see videos of me
If you …. (C7) google it (F7//)
C7
| + + + + | + + + + | + + + + | + + + + |
F7 C7
| + + + + | + + + + | + + + + | + + + + |
G7 F7 C7 (hold) C7 F7 (hold)
| + + + + | + + + + | + + + + | + + + + |
I could (C7) go for a run, I could take some B6
But my (C7) smartphone is calling, just one more fix
I could (F7) drink a little java, I could drink a little chai
But my (C7) internet browser gives a mighty good high
Give me a (G7) good Safari rush, or a (F7) Firefox hit
(C7//^) Man, this internet is some really good … stuff
(C7) There’s something on my back
I said (C7) there’s something on my back
I said (F7) there’s something on my back, y’all
Ooh, and it’s (C7) worse than crack
Mmmm, it’s (G7) 2 in the morning, am I (F7) losing my mind?
I said, it’s (G7) 3 in the morning, am I (F7) losing my mind?
It’s (G7) 4 in the morning, am I (F7) losing my mind? (F7~)
If I check my email (G7//) my Facebook (F7//)
My email (G7//) my Facebook (F7//) My email (G7//) my Facebook (F7//) My Seasons of the Ukulele forum (G7//) my YouTube (F7~)
O-o-o-one (G7~) more (F7~)
(C7~) ti-i-ime (C7//^^)
