By all accounts, Kurt Cobain *loved* ukelele music, so he’s definitely spinning in his grave over this performance – spinning for JOY, that is. YouTube.

Don’t like this one but they do a funny version of Wuthering Heights!

Eh. Not very well done, but I still love the Ukelele Orchestra.

As a fellow ukulele enthusiast, I have always LOVED this clip!!! If only I could play so well…..

It was pretty good until he started singing.
This is much better, IMO. While my ukulele gently weeps:

I’m not sure I get the joke about Kurt Cobain. Is there an interview somewhere where he expresses a particular disliking for Ukes? I doubt it. Just b/c he wrote angst-riddled teen music doesn’t mean he didn’t like other types.
Before he died, his plan was to join up with Michael Stipe and record an all acoustic record. Bet you there would have been Ukulele on that.

I think ukes are cool – have you seen Jake Shimabukuro?

This is honestly the first time I’ve been able to understand the lyrics of this song! Nice.
