Losing My Religion (R.E.M. cover), Austin Ukulele Society

Losing My Religion (R.E.M. cover), Austin Ukulele Society
At our May 9, 2019 meeting we learned to sing and strum a huge early 1990s hit, made even more popular by its critically acclaimed music video: R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion.” The mandolin riff on which the song is built translates really well to the ukulele!

It's mainly "D-D-DuDu", although I can sometimes hear folks playing "D-DuDuDu" in certain spots. Thanks for asking!
