More Uke Love
I received a link in my electronic mail to this simply perfect uke cover of Tom Cruise Crazy. My investigations into the identity of this mysterious stranger led me to a cover of Britney Spears’ss’s’ “Toxic” (which is also awesome). Why is the ukulele so completely kickass?!
The ukulele army grows larger and larger, and soon we will dominate all media. Then you will all pay.

Wait, we haven’t paid yet?
I could have sworn I paid already.

i have a coupon…

Don’t mind me, I’m just going to roll up into a ball and explode.
Unbridled glee. Really. No amount of keyboard smashing could express it.

Molly Molly Molly!~
I got to see those live. And then some more songs.
November 5th, 2007 at 9:36 pm
That’s you, Molly? Pure awesomeness, well done indeed! Is the Random Banter video from a talent show or something?
November 5th, 2007 at 10:10 pm
Brilliant. Holy cow can she play. And sing. Never noticed how good a song Toxic was until I saw that.
November 5th, 2007 at 11:37 pm
Wooo hoooo Molly! Finally getting the attention that you deserve!
November 5th, 2007 at 11:55 pm
That was great! That is so going onto my next mixtape. Well effing done!
I love the Internets.

If anything taught me about the power of the ukulele, it was Sometymes Why. For realz.
November 6th, 2007 at 8:14 am
A ukelele duet would be awesome… (hint, hint)
November 6th, 2007 at 6:37 pm
Wow! There’s apparently a whole world of teen ukulele culture that my sheltered life kept me from until now. Quite cool!
November 6th, 2007 at 7:30 pm
Those vids were great! Nice uke too. And umm the girl playing the uke isn’t really beat up either. Yeah, real nice uke playin’.
November 7th, 2007 at 4:37 pm
This reminds me:
Could you please do some songs with female vocals? Maybe a collaboration project of some kind?

I have this bizarre mental image of a music video in which Molly, wearing an ugly jacket and a pink hat, pulls a mask off John Hodgman to reveal Jonathan Coulton.
November 10th, 2007 at 7:30 pm
Jonathan –
Paul & Storm and….a song with Molly? Please?
November 11th, 2007 at 10:18 am
I have this dream of a concert where Molly is singing and playing the uke, while Emily is up front dancing, and spiffworld videos are playing on the big screen behind the stage.
November 11th, 2007 at 11:45 am
Cool, but I preferred the Uke/bass version you did with kristin.
November 12th, 2007 at 10:10 am
I totally want my name mentioned in the Thank you speach.
Fabulousness.
As the kids are saying now adays – Molly, you are too cool for school. For rizzle.
That is all.
November 12th, 2007 at 10:11 am
and by Speach… I ment Speech.
November 12th, 2007 at 11:07 am
I tried to think of a clever way to compliment the song, but nothing’s coming. Too early, I suppose.
Great cover, though. I hope there’s more on the way.
November 13th, 2007 at 7:35 pm
Oh, man! I was watching the show Chuck last night and I recognized “Toxic” only because of this link. I guess that might make me old.

I think George Harrison was a big uke fan, so much so that he gave one to Tom Petty as a present. As if the instrument needed more reasons to be loved.

Really good and really interesting post. I expect (and other readers maybe
) new useful posts from you!
Good luck and successes in blogging!

I have recently joined the ukulele army. I am a guitar player that has been inspired by all of the kick-ass ukulele music on YouTube. The Bushman Jenny is on it’s way. DHL, please be quick!

The revolution is coming.
This time we’ll do it right.
With ukuleles.
March 30th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
I already joined the army.
tumtumtum.. let’s start a nuclear war.
March 4th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Not gonna lie, it was the uke that led me to Jonathan Coulton.
