Manchester - The Beautiful South (ukulele cover)

[@bobjking]

Ha! I was going to ask about the Manchester thing! I can confirm that from Wirksworth to Cromford it's raining... This song is very much the British experience! I had a lot of love for the Housemartins and there's no denying The Beautiful South have written some great, great songs. Paul Heaton I think is genuinely one of the good guys! Lovely rendition, Wendy. Thank you so much for this!

@@bobjking Thanks, Bob! I was going to do "Happy Hour" before I discovered this ... and maybe I still will, depending on tomorrow's twofer possibilities. I actually discovered this song *after* I asked you about Manchester. When I asked, I was thinking of Les Barker, but I've done a bunch of his already, so I was kind of relieved he didn't qualify. But this song is kind of like the Tea Song - something more universally British. I hope the sun comes out for you soon. 🌦🌥⛅️🌤☀️🏄

Their music video has some funny dance moves in it. This was another bit of music I didn't know of. I personally think the only reason it isn't more popular was the lack of cowbell. BTW: I put up a corrected version of one of my videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqGWXmZ5odWneMk There was a bit of a dumb error where I said the null of reception was the wrong direction I really-really wish there was a way to replace a video on youtube but they seem not to have provided that feature. I think that is profoundly dumb of them.

I didn't know this song either, or the band. I was going to do a better known Housemartins song, and may yet, depending on the twofer situation tomorrow. One thing for sure is I'm going to leave a lot of great ideas for this theme on the table by Monday ... more songs than days.... If you could edit a KZbin video, I'd fix that flub about the sun dropping its lolly (not brolly!).

[@UkeCan1]

I think it's good you can't replace videos wholesale, because then KZbin would become like Amazon, where you can build up a bunch of positive reviews for a product, and then replace it with an entirely different product that didn't and doesn't merit those reviews, leading to the whole system being completely untrustworthy. And there are ways to annotate a posted video and/or add clickable links to it, like to an updated version of the video. It would be great if you could edit small bits once posted, but also bound to lead to abuse.

@@UkeCan1 Yeah well I just now have two nearly identical videos. In a while I might delete the one with the error.

[@kensmith5694]

@@UkeCan1 Yes, if small bits can be edited then you could replace the video bit by bit or something. Since I am not selling a product on youtube it is not likely I would get sneaky.

[@UkeCan1]

@@kensmith5694 You and I wouldn't get sneaky, but we're not the problem, are we? I don't think we'd abuse Amazon reviews either. But there's plenty of corrupt narcissists out there, and that is why we can't have nice things.

Just for the record, it's pouring down in York at the moment...

@@MrSjpsjp That's why this is a song about Britain not Brisbane 😁

@@UkeCan1 Absolute nonsense! I am 77 years of age, have lived in England all my life, and it has not rained once! Get your facts right, you bally rotter!
