100 Days of Ukulele 2025 - Day 68: “Teenage Dirtbag” (Wheatus cover)

“Teenage Dirtbag” (2000) was written by Wheatus frontman Brendan B. Brown. It recently resurfaced as trending on TikTok but I remember when it first was a hit. Greg was learning this a while back, so it’s been in my head — tonight I decided to finish my arrangement and just had time for a couple takes. Completely fluffed one chord, if you like mistakes. ;) I didn’t ever follow Wheatus but there’s a nice interview with Brown online about their recent tour and what the song means to the band and their fans. https://dailycollegian.com/2024/05/te...

Over the past few years, I’ve been focusing more on songwriting and arranging, as well as technique – and less on full covers of songs. My goal this year is to complete unfinished lyrical drafts and to write at least 10 songs. The point is not perfection; the point is to make a habit of creativity and practice.
