UKULELE COVER: “Riptide / We Don’t Believe What’s On TV” – Vance Joy / Twenty One Pilots MASHUP

IT’S BEEN A WHILE, MY FRIEND. I
can only stand here and beg your forgiveness for how horribly late this video
is.
I SKIPPED A WHOLE MONTH. (And I’m beginning to see that I overcommit to
things?? Eh. Small details.) Here is What Happened™ in great detail:
• I bought myself a ukulele and
learned how to play it

• Then I learned how to play
Riptide by Vance Joy

• Then I thought “huh this sounds
like another song I really like

• What is it???

• WE DON’T BELIEVE WHAT’S ON TV

• omg that would be an awesome
mashup
So I created a mashup of these
two songs
(We Don’t Believe What’s On TV is a song by Twenty One Pilots, in
case you are unfortunate enough to not know that fact) and decided that I would
record it. But there was just one small problem: I was on vacation in Florida,
far away from the recording studio.
And I wanted to shoot a music video with
tropical road trip vibes.  Here is My
Thought Process™ in great detail:

• THAT’S OKAY I’LL JUST DO THE
MUSIC VIDEO FIRST

• yeah before I actually record
the actual song

• I did that with the Hello/Alive
mashup and it turned out pretty good

• *ignores the fact that I actually had a
TEMPO with the Hello/Alive mashup and had practiced that vocal 8005434197621
times*

• *films the music video and THEN
when I get back home I record the song and THEN as I go to edit the
music video I realize that…*

• MY LIP SYNCING SUCKS
Just being honest here, my friend.
I TRIED MY BEST but I recorded the music video before I recorded the song so…
*cowers under a very large pillow* BE NICE TO ME. I’ve learned my lesson. And I’ve
also learned how to play the ukulele SO THAT’S A PLUS.
This one was a lot of fun (A LOT
OF FUN) and totally unlike everything else I’ve ever done. SO I HOPE YOU LIKE
IT. And if you do, please jump over to my YouTube channel and subscribe while
