This started out innocent enough.
Dennis over at “Passing Afternoon” tweeted this a couple of days ago:
The Imperial March performed with a recorder and ukulele. http://tinyurl.com/6nrf7v
Imperial March? Of course I had to go watch it! (You should too. It’s worth it. But come back when you’re done….)
After that little gem, I had to go see what else was on that site since it was dedicated to ukulele videos. Then I wandered over to YouTube and did the same.
I present you with some cover “finds”.
A cover of Rehab (by Amy Winehouse):
Those two guys are a band from the UK called The Re-entrants. Their tagline is: “Because Size Isn’t Important”. Funny! You should go check out some of their other stuff. It’s good. But I’m probably biased, because they’re kind of cute to look at.
Then there’s this for all you Britney lovers… Toxic:
And for all you “old skool” video game fans out there, I present… The Super Mario Theme:
I think I now have a thing for the ukulele. I has taken a proud home right under my thing for the banjo and the Tubulum.
Until next time...
I used to love “Toxic”.. Now?
I love of MORE!!!!!
Heh. Glad to provide some diversions for you while you’re sick.
I think I’m in lust with that last guy playing the Super Mario theme. Not only is he sexy, but he plays a mean ukulele. (Now there’s a phrase I never thought I’d say)
Sorry – can’t even think about listening to the ukulele – Tiny Tim ruined it for me. Don Ho too.
I concur with the commenter Java.
I am so throwing a Super Mario Luau.
You need to get well – real soon !
Nothing gets me like ukelele and tin whistle!
And the cute guys at the top don’t hurt things none.
I’m especially partial to the ukelele and jaw-dropping

Loved the Imperial March and the two UK guys doing the Winehouse cover, classic internet humor. (John) Taylor Mac was funny too! Get feeling better soon Erik
