| [00:11.70] | Sid Vicious played a four-string fender bass guitar |
| [00:15.34] | and couldn't sing |
| [00:17.23] | and everybody hated him except the ones who loved him |
| [00:22.60] | a ukulele has four strings, but sid did did not play ukulele |
| [00:28.47] | he did smack and probably killed his girlfriend nancy spungen |
| [00:33.66] | If only sid had had a ukulele, maybe he could have been happy |
| [00:39.78] | maybe he would not have suffered such a sad end |
| [00:44.32] | he maybe would have not done all that heroin instead |
| [00:48.99] | he maybe would've sat around just singing nice songs |
| [00:53.18] | to his girlfriend |
| [00:54.74] | So play your favorite cover song, especially if the words are wrong |
| [01:00.04] | ‘cos even if your grades are bad, it doesn't mean you're failing |
| [01:05.15] | do your homework with a fork |
| [01:07.83] | and eat your fruit loops in the dark |
| [01:10.45] | and bring your etch-a-sketch to work |
| [01:13.12] | and play your ukulele |
| [01:16.85] | Ukulele small and forceful |
| [01:18.79] | brave and peaceful |
| [01:21.35] | you can play the ukulele too it is painfully simple |
| [01:26.85] | play your ukulele badly, play your ukulele loudly |
| [01:32.30] | ukulele banish evil |
| [01:34.87] | ukulele save the people |
| [01:37.64] | ukulele gleaming golden on the top of every steeple |
| [01:43.74] | Lizzie borden took an axe, and gave her father thirty whacks |
| [01:48.69] | then gave her mother thirty-one, and left a tragic puzzle |
| [01:53.58] | if only they had given her an instrument, those puritans |
| [01:58.99] | had lost the plot completely |
| [02:01.16] | see what happens when you muzzle |
| [02:04.13] | a person's creativity |
| [02:06.66] | and do not let them sing and scream |
| [02:09.48] | and nowadays it's worse ‘cause kids have automatic handguns |
| [02:15.07] | it takes about an hour to learn how to play the ukulele |
| [02:20.06] | about same to teach someone to build a standard pipe bomb |
| [02:26.42] | you do the math |
| [02:28.33] | So play your favorite cover song, especially if the words are wrong |
| [02:33.87] | ‘cos even if your grades are bad, it doesn't mean you're failing |
| [02:39.32] | do your homework with a fork |
| [02:41.69] | and eat your fruit loops in the dark |
| [02:44.07] | and bring your flask of jack to work |
| [02:47.14] | and play your ukulele |
| [02:50.07] | Ukulele, thing of wonder |
| [02:52.39] | ukulele, wand of thunder |
| [02:55.13] | you can play the ukulele, too |
| [02:58.41] | in london and down under |
| [03:00.99] | play joan jett, and play jacques brel |
| [03:03.22] | and eminem and neutral milk hotel |
| [03:06.08] | the children crush the hatred |
| [03:08.36] | play your ukulele naked |
| [03:11.05] | and if anybody tries to steal your ukulele, let them take it |
| [03:16.66] | Imagine there's no music, imagine there are no songs |
| [03:21.14] | imagine that john lennon wasn't shot in front of his apartment |
| [03:26.59] | imagine if john lennon had composed \"imagine\" on the ukulele |
| [03:32.61] | maybe people would have more clearly got the message |
| [03:37.20] | You may think my approach is simple-minded and naive |
| [03:41.57] | like if you want to save the world then why not quit and feed the hungry |
| [03:47.30] | but people for millennia have needed music to survive |
| [03:52.21] | and that's why i've promised john that i will not feel guilty |
| [03:57.35] | So play your favorite Beatles' song |
| [04:00.16] | and make the subway fall in love |
| [04:02.97] | they're only $19.95, that's not a lot of money |
| [04:08.20] | play until the sun comes up |
| [04:10.60] | and play until your fingers suffer |
| [04:13.42] | play LCD soundsystem songs on your ukulele |
| [04:18.58] | quit the bitching on your blog |
| [04:20.93] | and stop pretending art is hard |
| [04:23.79] | just limit yourself to three chords |
| [04:26.45] | and do not practice daily |
| [04:28.95] | you'll minimize some stranger's sadness |
| [04:31.66] | with a piece of wood and plastic |
| [04:34.19] | holy fuck it's so fantastic, playing ukulele |
| [04:39.41] | eat your homework with a fork |
