The prize
EDIT 1/10/09 - It's only day 2 and the competition is really fierce. I know I will have a hard time deciding so I am changing the prize.

TWO WINNERS will be chosen

The winners will get their pick of ANY ukulele from MainlandUkuleles.com or a Kala Jazz uke - Black, Natural or Sunburst complete with the usual MGM set-up. OR any uke or combination of ukes that cost equal or less than this one (MGM prices) OR if they are saving up for a really nice uke, and they need a couple hundred to get them there, as long as it's from MGM's store, I'd do that too.)

Good luck!!!!

You really know how to kill them with kindness.

Luck with this, I'm thinking you are going to find that this song is not as easy to make sound great as you think.

[Link]

Indeed. I have no intention to make it sound great. I just think it will be fun.

[deach]

Luck with this, I'm thinking you are going to find that this song is not as easy to make sound great as you think.

The lyrics, except for the mmmmbop part, are actually not bad. I may even give it a try and make it into a blues song.

[rayan]

The song is about keeping the people that really matter close to you because so many people are fakers and will be gone when you are down and really need them.

I am not joking, listen to the song. Hanson rocks. I said it, so what, wanna fight about it?

Deach sure knows how to turn things around when it's needed the most. And this contest is relevant to my interests. :O

Always dug Hanson. Even after I found out that they're dudes. Gotta give them credit; they managed to put out some impeccably-crafted pop tunes, and made it cool for kids to be music stars after Michael Jackson had long since gotten old and reclusive. While my biggest musical influences as a kid were Jimi Hendrix and the Kinks, I thought it was neat that some kids somewhere around my age were writing and touring and recording already.

I assume they are correct, I followed along with the video on Youtube.


lyrics:
You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You're going through all this pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
And they're gone so fast
So hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care
Can you tell me who will still care

Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du

Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows
It's a secret no one knows

In an mmm bop they're gone, in an mmm bop they're not there
In an mmm bop they're gone, in an mmm bop they're not there
Until you lose your hair
But you don't care

Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du

Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know
Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me if it's going to be a daisy or a rose?

Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know
