It’s a Major Award
It has not escaped my attention (for very long anyway) that our very own Molly the Ukeist, who is also called Sweetafton23, has won the Uke Hunt Ukulele Video of the Year for 2007 for her cover of Tom Cruise Crazy. Totally boss! It deserves a repost here because it is pretty great, but instead I’m going to make you watch this original song that she wrote. Congrats Molly…

haha, awesome to see her being recognized! She’s got some really great talent, and I love her covers of your songs Jon.
It’s awesome to see an artist such as yourself taking such a large part in the community that surrounds them.
Good work

Heh, I remember clearly writing in a mailing list something like “I hope your stupid geocities page stays forever and your kids find it out.” I absolutely love this song.
I think I’ve never visited a myspace page. That’s how cool I am.

Kick ass!
Congratulations Molly!
January 28th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
Swell stuff!
January 28th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
She seems to have rocked the uke community to its core.
Awesome.

AAAAH STOP
TOTALLY HONORED TO BE ON YOUR BLOG AGAIN STOP
RUNNING VICTORY LAPS AROUND MY HOUSE STOP

*starts translating the above into Morse code*
*gives up*
January 28th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Sure, Molly, let me know there’s a video for it since I was sick that day…
PS: Yes. That is not in her range. WHEEEEEE
Thank you, JoCo, for making Molly feel awesome.
January 28th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Gratz Molly! I loved that song, too. I’m also jealous.
But more importantly, gratz again!
January 28th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
I love Molly! She’s the best. I wanna see JoCo and Molly write and record a song together!
January 28th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Molly wins the internets. She should now record an .mp3 version of her song for us. *nudges*
January 28th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
That was great! Molly is so talented.
January 28th, 2008 at 11:37 pm
Molly is the best.
I fully support the .mp3 suggestion above.
January 28th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
*cough* (Opening act for your DVD show) *cough*
January 29th, 2008 at 12:05 am
Awesome… simply awesome. How old is she? I wish I had like half that kind of talent for anything… especially music… that would rock…
January 29th, 2008 at 12:32 am
Congrats Molly, well done! Very much in the JoCo spirit… maybe some collaborations might be in the future?
At the very least, maybe she could play Uke for one of the songs in the DVD show?
January 29th, 2008 at 7:55 am
I’ve never had so much fun listening to a ukulele.
Congratulations, Molly!
January 29th, 2008 at 9:52 am
If Molly could play at a JoCo show, the internets WOULD explode.
January 29th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Grats Molly!
January 29th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Congratulations Molly – I’ve loved all the YouTube stuff I’ve seen you do, and I’m thankful that JoCo let us all know about this honor for you. I hope you have nothing but success going forward!
January 29th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
that was freaking cool. i love the song!!
January 29th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
It’s a great song. I’m so glad that you are appreciated for the rising star that you are!
January 29th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
No haters here!
Molly, way to go. I’ve watched the JoCo covers on youtube and I love the original song. This is a really cool accomplishment for you and you should be really proud.
January 29th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
Wow… That’s probably my favorite concept for a song I’ve seen in a while, not to mention the song itself is pretty sweet
Congrats to Molly!
January 29th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
Erm…. I believe she’s Sweetafton23 instead of Sweetafton32.
January 29th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Oops. Right you are.
January 29th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
I love Molly’s “Mister Fancy Pants” video.
It’s good to see somebody admit that they did their video in one take.
January 29th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
It did not escape my attention that you referred to the site as “Uke Hunt” rather than the more formal “www.UkuleleHunt.com”.
Hugh Jazz called. He wants his joke back.
January 29th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
*giggles* at the above comment!
Congrats Molly! Great stuff
January 29th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
You go, Molly! Congratulations, and what a fun song this original is.
January 29th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
YAY MOLLY!
…and YAY JOCO FOR YAYING MOLLY!
January 30th, 2008 at 5:44 am
Congrats Molly! Still one of my favorite JoCo covers. Can’t wait to see the collaboration effort at some future concert. Although if it’s not at PAX I’ll probably have to watch the video online afterwards.
Yay awards!
January 30th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
So, how about a JoCo cover of Molly’s song? Turnabout is fair play, eh? I think it’s a well-written song and lends itself to your style well, and I’m sure she’d get a kick out of it.
January 30th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
That song was hilarious! I am so glad she got recognized, she has so much talent!
January 31st, 2008 at 12:13 am
Perhaps this song should be recorded and placed into an MP3. Perhaps, JoCo, you could produce this recording.
And _perhaps_ it would have a place on The Aftermath. Perhaps.
January 31st, 2008 at 3:31 am
Molly for the win! Also, Uke Hunt. Hilarious.
Also, YAY for a JoCo DVD. Can’t wait.
I mean it, I literally can’t wait, I’m building a time machine as we speak.
February 1st, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Well done Molly, a well-deserved win.
An original, interesting concept – keep those ideas coming, I hope that we will all hear more from you in the future.
