Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles
March 26th, 2009 curtisrollo
Another George Harrison classic covered on the ukulele. This time, I’ve added more effects to the uke to add to the psychedelic aura of the song.
Time to Pretend by MGMT
March 16th, 2009 curtisrollo
Didn’t I go to college with MGMT? At the time, I thought the band to make it out of Eclectic was Man vs Beast. Where are they now… I made this cover with some sampling of Weezer’s most recent hit, Pork and Beans.
The ABC Song
March 16th, 2009 curtisrollo
To date, I’ve made nearly 23 versions of this simple song. Most of them aren’t very good, but this one has the potential. Dare I say, but you heard it here first. This is Curtis trying to shred.
Fidelity by Regina Spektor

My friends Natalya and Mariana came over one day to jam. This is the same we wanted to cover. There is not story behind why we did this song.
Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana

Why must grunge be so angsty? What if you replace it with a sunshine-y disposition?
Dance Dance by Fall Out Boy
August 8th, 2008 curtisrollo
Cat from LA wanted to hear me cover anything by Fall Out Boy. I was actually a Fall Out Boy fan before they made it big. They were so small at the time, they actually opened for another band when I went to see them in New York. Those were the days.
I actually can’t sing like that, so I arranged an instrumental this time. Sorry folks, but it’s a good one. It’s now an accordion waltz. Pretty snazzy.
Here Comes the Sun Again by M. Ward
August 8th, 2008 curtisrollo
n0s0ap from nowhere requested this cover, saying “I would love to hear a chill ukulele cover of this song. Because it is chill.”
Chill? When I listened to the song, it was absolutely boring. I think I needed to pump up the volume and double the speed.
Something by the Beatles
August 2nd, 2008 curtisrollo
George Harrison loved playing the ukulele. I heard that he would throw parties, where he would pass that little plucker around and people would just strum the night away. Only after this would George stop hogging the pot and hashish. So here’s a little uke rendition of a George Harrison tune.
Underneath Your Clothes by Shakira
July 29th, 2008 curtisrollo
From Shakira’s Dirty Laundry album, this cover turns her sultry lost-in-translation hit back to the 50′s. I busted out the rockabilly, but kept hidden my wicked-awesome Elvis impression. That’s for a different occasion.
Creep by Radiohead
July 28th, 2008 curtisrollo
This is creepiest creep-tastic rendition of Creep. It will send creeps creeping up and down your creep-filled spine till the creeped out end of days. Learn more about Radiohead at their website.
