    Another fave of mine is the Ukelele Orchestra's performance of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights". Has a very tropical lounge lizard feel to it:

    Damnit! You made lose an hour on "you-boob".

    I think I saw the teen spirit one a year or so ago. Either way, this is a great article and these guys do rock.

    The "Fist full of Dollars" theme is just incredible.
    Thanks, nice vid.

    Why oh why is ukulele so awesome? Is it because it's so tiny and cute? ;)

    Great find, John!

    This is why they will have to pry my keyboard from my cold, dead hands. About the only thing better is the fab vid Torley linked to, their version of my girl Kate's "Wuthering Heights". Wow, indeed. Thanks to good ol' Neatorama and Torley, ukuleles rule!
