Hang on Sloopy - Ukulele, Melodica, Vocal Bass, Waste Paper Basket
'Hang on Sloopy' was a Billboard number one hit for The McCoys in 1965. The song was written by Wes Farrell and Bert Russell and first recorded by the The Vibrations in 1964 under the title: 'My Girl Sloopy'. This song is also the official rock theme song of Ohio State University. If you haven't heard it yet, I strongly recommend listening to the version that their marching band plays. The introduction beat is played on a small plastic waste paper basket. I transposed the McCoy's version from G major down to C major to suit my vocal range. Since my bass guitar is thousands of kilometers away I decided to try vocal bass for this video. I sang the bass line in the key of G Major and then pitched it down to C Major using software. Thanks for watching, please comment and SUBSCRIBE, there are lots more videos like this on my channel! P.S. I got the shirt for free from a box of cereal!
