Don't You (Forget About Me). Ukulele cover with chords - Simple Minds - easy to play

Don't You (Forget About Me). A song by Scottish rock band, Simple Minds. Written by Keith Forsey and guitarist Steve Schiff, for the 1985 film, The Breakfast Club.

I thought I'd try going acoustic for this one! I had sung the afternoon before plugged in, and I just couldn't do it again to my neighbours! Anyway, I hope it comes off okay without amplification. But whether amplified or acoustic, I am always holding back, for fear of disturbing the neighbours. One day, I hope to find a good recording spot, where I can truly let 'er rip!

Till then...I hope you'll enjoy my restrained version of this 1980s classic!

This one is for my pal, Betsy...Queen of the 1980s!
