By request of comes an investigation into ukelele music!
First off comes , a sort of punk-rock ukelele ensemble.“Tiptoe Thru the Tulips”
Next is the No full songs of theirs to sample, but they do have short clip of a few different songs on their two albums…“The William Tell Overture” (files no longer exist on source server, links therefore removed)
“The Entertainer”
has taken various classical songs and set them unaccompanied to ukelele…“Allegro, from Concerto in D” – Vivaldi“The Washington Post March” – Sousa
(formerly known as “The Ukes of Hazzard”) is a two-girl ukelele group out of New York City. In addition to their one song available for free download and 5 others for $1 each, they also have .“Let’s Get Romantic”
has some of the oddest covers of songs I’ve heard.“I Think I’m Turning Japanese” – cover of The Vapors
perform all sorts of old-timey music, and all their songs are !
As if just plain ukeleles weren’t strange enough, provides an accompaniement that makes ukeleles themselves look normal!“Creep” – cover of Radiohead
brings ukelele music to Tokyo – probably best to check out the , but I’ve found some mp3s on there that weren’t on the english site, and some that were even off a donguri.mp3“Ukelele Holy Night”“Everybody Needs Somebody To Love” – cover of The Blues Brothers
brings ukelele music from their !“The Wind Cries Mary” – cover of Jimi Hendrix

What makes this all amazing is this is only a small selection of the that is out there… there seems to be people doing ukelele music for most genres, and several of those artists look like they appear in performance while wearing a cow suit. What the correleation is between ukeleles and cows is, I have no clue.
