The Beatles Complete On Ukulele

The Beatles Complete On Ukulele is a music project by David Barratt that incorporates re-recording and re-creating all original songs The Beatles ever recorded.

Each week (until 2012), TBCOU will upload a rerecorded version of an original song by The Beatles along with a comprehensive essay discussing matters pertinent to the recording. An ukulele is included in the arrangement of every song. Each song is performed by a different guest artist and released every Tuesday.

Artists featured so far include: Samantha Fox, Wang Chung, Nicki Richards, Victoria Vox, Gerald Ross, Jim Boggia and many unsigned artists.

"Let It Be" has been performed by a gospel choir with samples taken from some of President Barack Obama's speeches pasted together to form the lyrics of the song.[1]

The project begun on January 20, 2009 (the date of the inauguration of Barack Obama) and will conclude on July 31, 2012 (the eve of the London Olympics).
