FAWM Ukulele Club (F.U.C.)

Liner Notes

Just an quick little Ukulele song about "FAWM Ukulele Club" (aka F.U.C.) written to renew and retain my membership for FAWM 2025, mostly because it is hard(er) to stay blue with a Uke in your hands... regardless of how you pronounce it.

Lyrics

FAWM Ukulele Club (F.U.C.) - February 1, 2023

You may say Ukulele
I might say Ukulele
But Uke is what we play

Chorus:
F U C
Okay, Let me explain…
F is for for FAWM, February Album Writing Month
U is for ukulele, uke is what we play it
C is for club and you can join it...
All you gotta do it play…

Ukulele
Ukulele
Please stay by my side
When I feel blue
Cause I feel blue

Ukulele
Ukulele
Soprano and concert are the tiny ones
Tenor and baritone are loads of fun
And Bass is the place
If you like to get down low with your...

Ukulele
Ukulele
Ukulele
Uke is what we play.

Crazy good recording considering it is just in the room. How could you be sad listening to this? So good.

There is very few anthems that a ukulele can play unironicaly. But this does sound like an anthem. The FUCA: FAWM ukulele club anthem.
(I say ookulele too, but I find it very hard not to sound pedantic explaining why.)

Awe this is a bit of cute fun! My seven year old was enjoying this along with me and loved the brief mouth trumpet at the end! He hears me play the trumpet all the time but didn’t realize you could get close with your own voice 😀
[avatar]
Makes me smile! The first time I became aware of F.U.C. here, I needed that explanation! 😀 You made a fun song here!
[avatar]
So fun, and educational, and what a great performance! Count me in, I can sit with the tenors!
[avatar]
Fantastic! And yes it made me happy while learning about the club I’m not a member of.
[avatar]
Thanks, now I finally know what FUC stands for. Oh, and what a cheerful song 🙂 You made me smile today!
[avatar]
Honestly, as a non-uke player, I've legitimately wondered exactly what FUC stood for (even though I knew it was something uke-related). This is januty, fun and (clearly) educational.

@beacon will be happy with the pronunciation in this one. What a great jazzy ukulele song and a tongue twister. This could be the F.U.C anthem ..I say let's vote!!! as @resonut123 said FUC yeah!
[avatar]
Such a joy of an instrument! Thank you for this educational segment!
[avatar]
FUC Yeah!
Nice Slick Jazzy playing. Fun.
I like the Tenor of this tune (see what I did there).

Dan, I'd agree - much need mood-booster here. And thanks for explaining FUC. As long as I've been here I knew it had to do with ukes but had no idea acronym stood for. NOW I KNOW. Thanks for that and fun tune! *Now to bust out the banjolele or not? That is the question.
[avatar]
Yeah! This was an instant mood lifter! Thanks for sharing this and kicking things off with such an upbeat tune!

This is so clever! Brilliant song and funky performance! Love the sound of ukulele 😍 Have a great FAWM! 🙌😍
[avatar]
Brilliant song and performance. Bring more ukuleles to presidents and kings.
[avatar]
Effervescent and fun! Now you’ve got me wanting to write something on uke this year, and I barely even play…
[avatar]
Upbeat song to start. The chorus stays in my head. And it got some jazz - FUC
[avatar]
i love your slippery chords :) Very cute and maybe useful to the fawmlings as well.
[avatar]
Magnificently done, sir! Clever, warm, funny, meta, a little bit jazz... all bases covered. With some pretty sweet uke playing/singing too. Ummm. I still don't own a uke though (well, unless you count the plastic one my kids played when they were younger...). Should probably rectify that at some point. Ah, and the trademark DV laugh at the end - gotta love it 🎵 👌

I always wanted to part of a FUC club and it turns out I was already in one!

Love your style, dude.
[avatar]
I love that fuc has a song! This is fun and really like this melody and rhythm, very original!!
[avatar]
OMG I love this!!!!!! I had no idea you were a proud #fuc member, but you certainly show it off here. Nice percussion too, and I love the sound of that ukulele. I wish I could play as well as you, and it's not even your main instrument.

What brand is it? Can't see with the tuner there!
