@prism What a voice you have, Drew, and what range!

(Understood. Of course. lol)

I'll raise you one "you belong to me", with Ruth Etting singing Button Up Your Overcoat. (I'm all about songs from the 1920's today!)

She sings "Stay away from bootleg booze when you're on a spree" (not bad advice at all, that radiator hootch will make you go blind), but the version I know is "Stay away from college boys when you're on a spree" -- which seems to run counter to the entire purpose of a spree!

On the other hand, I love that "take good care of yourself" equates to "get to bed by three". That's my kind of gal!

A light and breezy tune, without too much to trip up the ukulele player. Bb and Bbm make an appearance, but can be quickly moved between if the Bb is played as a barre chord.

The 1926 sheet music provided ukulele chords, but for ADF♯B, so if you want to play it as originally intended then tune up from GCEA on a soprano and play the same chord shapes shown here.

Here's Ruth Etting singing it:

"Get Happy" is a song composed by #HaroldArlen, with lyrics written by #TedKoehler. It was the first song they wrote together, and was introduced by #RuthEtting in The Nine-Fifteen Revue in 1930. The song expresses the #gospelMusic theme of #gettingHappy, an expression of #religiousEcstasy for salvation. It is most associated with #JudyGarland, who performed it in her last MGM film #SummerStock (1950) and in live concert performances throughout the rest of her life.
