Liner Notes

OK, this one's a bit of a #hotmess - I realized I hadn't done a #fuc song yet, I had planned to do an #alternatetuning song at some point..
So, I combined the two. A little 145 in C

This is my Fluke "pizza flipper" electric uke - one track, open tuned to C7, as the rhythm(less) guitar
A second track with the same uke - in standard tuning - providing the *lead* guitar.
I borrowed my wife's bass for a track.
A track of #harmonica , one of vocals, and the world famous Logic drummer Zak
If nothing else, I had fun...

Lyrics

Fly Over
Please make sure your seat belts are fastened, and your tray tables are in their upright positions - we are about to take off

The Captain has turned off the 'Fasten Seat Belt" sign
You are now free
...to move about the cabin.

If you look out the west side of the plane, right now, we are traveling over the. newly renamed, "Gulf Of Fragile Masculinity"

The pilot has put on the "fasten Seat Belt" sign, please return to your seat, and put them in their full upright position, we have been cleared to land.

You are using slide on a uke? What a great idea! It sounds like you had a ton of fun making this. The "flight announcement" lyric is great. Maybe it's a flight to Hawai'i to pick up some more ukes!

Thank you so much for turning the uke into fire. I never heard a distorted uke but maybe that's what I needed.

Wonderful lyrics, gotta say!
Also, a great rock n roll feeling, and gives me vibes that if the stuff that happens currently, would have happened in the 50's (in a way, they are, but like literally same things), this would have been played by many youngsters.

Saw the "uke" tag and dived in and I was NOT expecting this loud, trippy freakout. Slide uke? Slide, *electric* uke? Oh, this is fun. Very much my sort of hot mess.

And those lyrics are hilarious.
