Fly me off the Handel

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain cannot agree on what song to perform. But it doesn’t really matter, as long as the songs all have the the same basic structure. -via Metafilter

    There's another they have doing a Black Eyed Peas medley:

    This proves that the uke is the devil's instrument!

    I loved it. It didn't get great for me until they all started singing together, which I hoped they would do, and it was fun. Except for the guy butchering the Eagles.

    I've seen them live at festivals several times now and they always steal the show. I even bought my girlfriend a Ukelele from the stall that follows them around.

    You can do so many things with the ukulele. My friend aldrine guererro is quite popular on youtube, he's an amazing uke player. As well as Jake Shimabukuro. There's actually an ukulele community that's getting quite popular called ukuleleunderground.com. Anyone is welcome, even if you don't play the uke. :D

    This reminds me of tne "Pachebel Rant" video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM

    In fact, this chord progression is similar to the Pachebel Cannon (8 bars), but in a minor key.

    That is some talent. If I wasn't tone deaf I could join that band.

    I liked it up until the guy started on the Eagles the second time, while everyone else was singing.

    #11 - Yes, it kind of lost it for me at the exact same place.
