Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain


You'd think 7 majorly square white dorks wailing on ukuleles in tuxedos would be kind of lame. It is.

But this video of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain's live cover of Nirvana's It Smells Like Teen Spirit is disturbingly, mesmerizingly hip. These guys are so good, even black people love 'em.

Love La Freak. That is amazing. Perhaps I can get them to cross the Pond and play my Wedding, if I can ever find the right one. Amazing. Thanks for the link.

I found you through Not Plain Jane just this morning. I'm so glad you found her beautiful blog!

I like the way the world looks from the inside of your head. How cool - you and your ukelele band, your pics of people with gambling addictions, your countdown to the end of the Bush administration and your fantastic avatar.

That was cool. Reminds me of Hayseed/Dixie, the AC/DC bluegrass cover band.

Mind-boggling how they rhyme 'libido' with 'albino' rather than 'mosquito', innit?
