if you're like in hawaii and you have an ukulele then you're fine and ok in my book

if you're brazilian and you import ukulele then you're an rear end in a top hat. there's a perfectly fine (and better sounding imo) similar traditional instrument. you can find it everywhere and it's way cheaper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RQyE4RxxLQ "but eeeww samba, I don't want to play an instrument associated with poor people, I want to be that white american hipster that I was supposed to be"

god I hate people like that, it's like ukuleles are apple computers but way worse

those stupid pop up things makes it look like he's buying a car in the matrix

or that scene in fight club where dude's house is an ikea catalog

either way it makes me not like whatever truecar is

lol

So these social contests are good for short term engagement but they usually drop off a large amount (there is still a small bump as you do get some people interested in your brand)

but marketing guys are totally scared of some kid who gets the audience better then them and will never engage with community in a meaningful business way.

Heeey heeeey heeeeey

Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided you're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind

Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Heeey heeeey heeeey

Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection, we can't deny I I-I-I-I
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind

Hey soul sister, ain't that Mister Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

The way you can't cut a rug
Watching you's the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you'll be with me

Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight)
Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight)
