Uke Songs NEED Sunshine and Moonlight…

I’m working on a little theory here; let me know what you think.

I’ll state it here as a bold statement:

The very best ukulele songs involve either sunshine or moonlight.

They don’t have to be ABOUT sunshine or moonlight, specifically, but the sunshine or moonlight has to play a prominent part.

Daring? Bold? Right? Wrong?

Here are a few of my faves (click for video):

• Blue Bayou (“the silver moon on the evening tide”)
• There Ought to Be a Moonlight Savings Time
• I Can See Clearly Now (“bright, bright sunshiney day” — may be the PERFECT ukulele song…)
• Sumpin’ Good’ll Come from That (“gee the moon is yella”)
• Livin’ in the Sunlight, Lovin’ in the Moonlight – One of my very favorites, and, just saying, it features both sunshine AND moonlight.

Or course, it may be, that it’s just there are a lot of good songs in general that involve sunshine or moonlight. But an awful lot of them do sound awfully good on the uke.

Got a song to add to the list?

Meantime, keep livin’ in the sunlight.

And, more importantly, keep loving’ in the moonlight!
