Dtube Exclusive | Hips Don't Lie by Shakira (Ukulele Cover)
Hey Guys!
I've been thinking about branching out a bit more and playing really "unexpected" songs on the ukulele. I don’t know about you guys... but I hadn't heard this song in AGES. I recently heard a cool guitar cover of this song and it inspired me to do a cover on the ukulele.
I couldn't help but play up the cover image to match. I hope you guys get a kick out of it!
Here are the lyrics I’m singing:
Señorita,
Feel the conga, let me see you move like you come from Colombia
Señorita,
Feel the conga, let me see you move like you come from Colombia
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
Como se llama
Bonita
Mi casa, su casa
Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body
And I'm on tonight you know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
And I'm on tonight you know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
I hope you guys enjoy this cover! I certainly had a good time making it!
xo, @coruscate

Very nicely done, im curious what is the hardest song you have played so far ? and what would be your all time fav so far?
Oooh that is a great question! My hardest musical recording on Steemit so far, was definitely when I did the Super Mario Brothers Theme Song on my flute. It was a few months ago, back when I was only recording music once a week for open mic. I was sick and had lost my voice, but still really wanted to enter. I decided to pull up my flute for the first time in 10 years and try to play something!
It went HORRIBLY. I literally had about 65 takes, and I think my phone actually ran out of space and I had to go delete some videos to keep trying. 😂 The final version still had a ton of mistakes, but I literally started crying with joy when I actually had one take that was “semi-acceptable”. lol I have since been playing quite a bit more and luckily it only takes a few tries to get a good video on my flute these days. :-)
As for my favorite... hmmm... probably Wicked Games on the piano. This was an open mic entry from a few weeks back. I was playing around with pre-recording the audio in GarageBand so that I could add some echo and reverb. I was pretty happy with how it turned out, not to mention I just really love that song! I would love to get a video editing software where I can edit the audio right in the video without having to pre-record audio and then record. It’s just hard to sync up the audio and video later, so sometimes it looks a little off. That’s why I haven’t done more videos like that.
Thanks for asking such a thoughtful question! Your awesome!
I freaking LOVE IT!! 💕💕💕 it amazes me to see non latin people digging Shakira lol .. it always takes me by surprise.. I don’t know why.. I always forget how famous she really is.. for a Colombian.. and then i always get to a point i also remember Sofia Vergara is huge in Hollywood too. 🤣 and them i feel silly for thinking that way lol
You did an incredible version!! Bravo!
Aww thanks my friend!! I actually thought of you when I was recording this and wondered if you liked Shakira. I used to watch modern family... so I’m very familiar with Sofia Vergara as well. 😆
I’m so glad you enjoyed the cover!! ❤️
oh i do like all right! .... Colombians adore her... she is like a Saint for us lol! She is an incredible performer and an amazing songs writer! she was the artist i looked up to the most growing up... I gotta say i love her earlier works more than all the new stuff.. too mainstream.. but, the way she writes is still really good.
Did you notice she pretty much doesn't age? i wonder if it´s all the dancing she does.. lol also... did you see her performing with Chris Marin from Coldplay!??
Oooh I havn’t seen that, but I will go check it out! I I bet the two of them are amazing together! Thats a lot of talent on one stage.
love the song with ukulele. Good fit. Nicely sung too.
Thanks @magicmonk! I switched around the order of the song a bit to change things up... I’m glad you enjoyed it ! 😊
