Tip from Neal on playing the song: "It's a pretty simple 'A' progression, easy once you get the right hand to cooperate."
This performance was suggested by Allison R from the fleamarket bulletin board.
It's a classic, and a joke, and you can play it on a ukulele - everyone wins!

Jon Brion, a personal favorite, is one of the most interesting musicians working today, both as a performer and a producer. Based on the web server stats for her last video, sweetafton23 is one of your favorites.

Any man with the gumption to rhyme "beer" with "see her" (say it like Marge Gunderson "be-er") deserves to win the MacArthur Genius Grant. Jacob allows you to download all three of his excellent album from his website for free. My personal favorite song is brains, brains.
