The Theme from "Shaft" Performed on a Ukulele Orchestra - Neatorama

(Video Link)

From a live performance of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. Can you dig it? Run time: 3 minutes, 32 seconds. Via John Carney

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.

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!
