Original Song: Getting Dressed Dance
Alright y'all. This here marks the 6th consecutive #MusicMonday on twitter where I'm posting an original song by yours truly. So... if I slip soon, then just remember that, at one time, I did give you 6 in a row!
Heh.. I wrote this song when my first son was born. Whenever I was dressing him I found that I kept making up this goofy song about how to get dressed (and do it wrong). I started with "Put on your shoes... then take off your pants... put your socks on your hands... that's how you do the getting dressed dance". That's pretty much all I had until one night when my wife and I were baby-sitting our goddaugther (who was probably 12-13 at the time) and we decided it'd be run to record a full version of this song.
This is what came out of it. I keep thinking about fleshing it out and/or maybe adding different/more words, but that's not something that I'm known for. I like to make up a song, record it and then move right along.
So, here is that moment in time, captured in mp3 format.
Getting Dressed Dance by Ukulele Guy (and wife and goddaughter)


Great little song. I am an art teacher and will play this song for a project I’m doing with special needs kids — getting dressed, wearing weather appropriate clothes, etc. I’ll check your site for more good stuff. Thanks.
Ahh… that makes me happy! I’m glad you found the site. I have more kid’s stuff on the site (although, not a ton) but I’ll post some more now that I know someone’s checking it out. I think if you search my site for “twitter” or “music monday” you can find all the original songs I’ve posted.
