    Yeah, ok. So what are the words they’re singing to a song that was purely instrumental?

    Today has been a day for random things that make me absurdly happy. Thank you, Mark, and thank you, Boingboing.

    If you get the chance to, check out Dora Dale’s ukelele cover of Jump Around by House of Pain – BEST UKELELE COVER EVER! (in my humble opinion…)

    (Think its been taken down from youtube et al but as there seems to be a resurgence of ukelele covers I’m gonna get round to posting it again…)

  • Takuan

    excellent choice there, Walrus.

    sadly lacking in ukelele action though.
