Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun - Beastie Boys Ukulele Cover

[imShelik]

Awesome. The Beasties would agree.

[1212strife]

turned a shtty day in to a nice one thanx

[MordecaiKart64]

awesome cover, really well done

[mrspaztasticle]

can we just get married?

[camilianSLC]

close but no cigar

[InvadersManga]

I agree with bostonkanevideos ,I got my uke like five years ago and last year it was like it just became some accessory.But i mean if you love playin it and its just a part of who you are,it doesnt really matter what others think

[iris2fin]

Has to be my favourite ukulele cover - funky yet laid back.



[bostonkanevideos]

Good technique on the UKe. lately I've been really getting annoyed with the Ukelele's over usage.. aprticularly the over the rainbow song...

but it's good to see people like you porducing an original syle! kep it going gal!

[Rohhaut]

What makes this song so funky are the drums and the bass - but this version really rocks!

[needleintheHEEY]

<3

[1VISE1]

WOW, an incredible take on this song...I am truly in awe. Thank you for the enjoyment.

[Jheadsnappy]

THIS IS AWESOME, I have a concert, and would love to get the Tab for this if you got it!

[contestzo]

@Jheadsnappy Thank you! I put the chords in the description.

[Bboys1fan]

ewh, wtf.

[ukecity]

very nice...... impressed... do more!!! 

[rll52485]

That's gangsta! lol

[Thiefree]

Well THAT deserves a follow.

[rangercreed06]

This is one of the more ridiculous things I've seen lately. But very good. Strange.

[KeipherAshtrayArt]

That is so incredibly kool! One of my favorite songs with a delicious twist. I love the sexy grin too! Sexy and talented! /shudder

[FruityUkuladies]

This is awesome!!! We just did a uke cover for "Intergalactic" Hope you dig!

[pappymcdamnit]

Awesome!, hope you won!

[kingsized243]

that was awsome !!!!!!!!!!! 

[wayneyelverton]

Well that is just far out solid and right on!!! Love it!

[tackmack]

OK - I'm sold - I would award you any prize you want! Heck - your a GIGAPUS!

Technically great and the singing spot on :D I had a smile on my face as you cut into the screen grabs!!

[iamstevediaz]

what type of Ukulele is that? i'm thinking about getting a soprano but i'm seeing alot of people out there performing with a concert.

[contestzo]

@iamstevediaz It's a Pono tenor. Try out all the different sizes if you can. Everyone has their own preferences; mine is tenor.

[SirWinstoneChurchill]

@contestzo

I really like your singing...

[Daneoid81]

wow, pure win!

[3rdCoastGrower]

On a totally different level this is an awsome cover!! Nice

[binafi]

Love it! I am old- just learning uke- so am trolling around the interwebs for inspiration! You are one! Your playing is so smooth and cool- I love it! THANK YOU!

[g4ngst4crizz4b]

This is a great video. You are talented. I know you intended this for a contest, but stuff like this has the potential to be viral. You should produce more videos. Don't just do covers. Do a parody of something. Imitate an audio or visual technique you see in advertisements. Try to produce a video a day. Don't worry about it being perfect.  Just throw up whatever comes to mind. You just need one great idea to catch people's attention.

[PeepThisOne]

This is awesome. And that little mean face she does with her lips is sooo hot!

[LiterallyTuesday]

This is awesome!

[Pilikiaman]

Wow. This was awesome. Made my night.

[vibratingstring]

You put together a really great sound here. Great right hand articulation, neat harmony and choice of chording, vocals right on. An earworm for sure tonight.

[superman4linzi]

WOW this was awesome!

[Sabejalock]

For all you haters ...where is your video's at ? Way cool girl you rock!!!

[ukenutcase]

Nice Pono uke

[FreetoSessions]

You got a beautiful voice.....  but, you shit on that masterpiece..... sorry

[DerDeziBelzeBub]

[102611ful]

[nyscottie]

[TheDanielhernandez]

that was anthrax by thye way

[contestzo]

@TheDanielhernandez Thank you! Beastie Boys wrote it in 1989, Anthrax covered in in 1993.

[vibratingstring]

@contestzo

Funny how nobody ever realizes the cover thing...

[TheDanielhernandez]

that was great i love that song

[Droog13]

Terrific cover of what is arguably my favorite Beastie Boy's song. Loved the photos you added, as well. :)

[smyrna5]

Awesome!

[MonkeyGodMikey]

Wow, you're hella good! Crazy good even!

[marjet]

AMAZING!

[jdogface]

I probably commented before, but dammit girl every time I see it I become so impressed. I'm like Wow. Thanks for the sharing of skill.

[cinnamonbrandylite]

cool pout on 'transmission' (0.42). The rest of it rocks, with the witty surreal & subversive imagery, but there's your album cover, right there...

Because it's all about targetting that demographic, girl!

Helen

[metrognome9]

That put a smile on my face. Great cover!

[LeoHareMusic]

Wow---amazing!

[SuperQBoi]

Wow, I never thought one of my favourite Beastie Boy songs would sound so good acoustic on a uke. Great job

[IamNotTheMoon]

Damn! I didn't know you could DO that with a Ukelele! But then, I don't get around much.

Loved it!

[GUITARMASHER]

you shoulda owned that uke and went all Jimi Hendrix on it. Lighter Fluid and Matches! That was really good!

[sockenfrank]

damn good.

[cegriffin]

Always glad to see a fellow Friend of Chip with a ukulele.

[monkeyswithladders]

Dear Zoe,

You're my hero.

[jordijb007]

Wow Zoe I become new fan of you, I really love your songs, you're a 5 stars youtube ukulele artist!! GS (me, just starting, but i will love to make a song with you)

[01herman]

Nice repetive song!

[Zendrix3]

Who gaf about the strings...just chill on the wave that is this performance...head is just bobbin...

[asalistics]

cut the strings because they are too long and it looks ugly

[lovelyvoices0]

Great video!!!!!

[a57998]

Damn, that was good.

[HumbleUker]

Zo: You really know how to sing & produce a very cool video. Very simple chords effectively used. Love your stuff. Jeff

[schuermurrman]

Love this groove girl!!

[t01152001]

Very smooth. Nice voice.

[ukeshale]

sweet. great entry

[Woodshed1]

I don't think there's ever going to a uke contest result that doesn't baffle me.

You're the winner in my book. And isn't that the real prize?

(Answer: no)

[m0nterey6]

great vid!

[brooklynrambler]

I love your singing and playing, but I thought the pictures were distracting.

[daddystovepipe]

Impressive - love the images and that funky downward slide!

[paranoidpfanclub]

lol very good!

[yursoawesome]

At first I thought this was an original, I was like, "she makes the song sound so pretty with the funky words." :P

[jdogface]

That was one of THE best amateur videos that I have ever seen. (I have seen a few, so I'm not blowing smoke) Great song, beautiful voice, and if I may be so bold, ( Humma, Humma, Woooie, Pant Pant) a somewhat (LIE) pretty (LIE) young lady, ( absofreakinlutely gorgeous hottie with a sultry sexy voice TRUE). Oh yeah.., I took it there...

Love da vid...

[kplazak]

Really, really, really good. That was great!
