Hey Ya - Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra

[jimithingjames]

OMFG . . . That IS BRET!! Funny: A moment ago I was wondering if WIUA were on The Conchords radar; and if so, 'did they like them'? This video puts all those questions to rest. :-P :-) Thx 4 posting.

[irishrose86]

Is that guy in the middle also the band manager from the Flight of the Conchords show?

[Kumerahou]

@irishrose86 No that's a musician called Age Pryor

[oONoobLikeOo]

Scrubs <3



[STOPtheHORROR]

What the fuck. that IS Bret.

[EndCat47]

Brit.

[theforsakenpiggies]

Bret IS in the ukulele orchestra, fyi.

[whytodeep]

why is the E a major accord wtf it sounds so wrong

[MrSandyGerald]

@whytodeep It's a ukuele, playing anything that isn't a major sounds wrong

[whytodeep]

@MrSandyGerald Em would not sound wrong at all i have a uke

[Egdirnam]

shit

[nikitejay]

No matter how many times I watch/listen to this video it makes me smile and tap and swing! I LOVE IT! You guys (and gals) were awesome!

[momento316]

de lo mejor que he escuchado¡ de estos fucking Hippies

[Sycosallie]

@momento316 stay in yr own country for gods sake.



[DEIJARNIE]

wow i thought that looked like bret from flight of the concords, this sorta thing would be right down his alley!!!!

[mb1968nz]

@DEIJARNIE yup thats bret :)

[dankwarth]

Hippies!

[slowloris]

Interlacing! Must learn the uke soon...

[WhiteSleevedStu]

Isn't that last chord supposed to be a Em? Oh who cares, I'm rocking out!!

[TheRealDerfMan]

@WhiteSleevedStu ....nah, checked Outkast's version, it definitely is an E major, not minor....

[TheRealDerfMan]

Got off my lazy ass, found who sings the original... not into "popular music", so I'm not surprised I didn't know who the original artist is. I like Outkast's version, but this one freakin' rocks!!!

[bahmehyou]

@TheRealDerfMan you should listen to the obadiah parker version. Its amazing.( or look up matt weddle he is the guy in obadiah parker).

[TheRealDerfMan]

Fun to see Bret, but loving the energy the blond lady brings to this song. Who is the original by? Never heard this song before.....

[djsmallboy]

Omg! It's Brett from FOTC =D

[fizzpotts]

have tbh totally loving these since i heard there prince tribute

[headlaka]

beautiful =D

[crookesx3]

I can't stop smiling! Thank you! :-)

[WasteTheToxic]

BRET MCKENZIE :O

[cossiemk2]

It's a good cover.

But the lead singer/player is over the top.

Just coz he can play 12 notes on his uke makes him God?

Sorry, stop overacting

[syahid007]

youtube.com/watch?v=4mBVSKHyzn­M

[dnjackson1981]

They just ruined this song for me. WHY?

[topmullins]

Does anyone know where I could find the tabs for this.

[fabionodabastos]

@topmullins see 0:15 just repeat g c d e

[staphinfection]

I'm sure Bret is much happier playing sell out shows with FotC.

[Elliesthebest1111111]

It's great being a part of a dynamic group of people!

[tentaplugg]

Sure looks like they got some Concords blood there..

[Butling77]

Bret!!!!!!!! :D yaay he's hot :p I didn't know he played ukulele :)

[maxibaer]

@Butling77 hell yeah, its bret! he´s everywhere! :-)

[brunopa9]

Hello, I am Brazilian and I found this video by chance.

I like stringed instruments. Also liked the excitement of the group, especially the blond (second from left to right). I wonder what her name!?!?

See you.

[xDanixleighannex]

HA! ukelele orchestra!? that is so badass!

[SingSongGal]

D'ya think they'll ever preform in the UK?

[BingleBanner]

[lemypie]

[JMills36]

Fantastic.

[ClarkeTheBoss]

@ClarkeTheBoss

"Brit?"

[NZAvengerX]

@ClarkeTheBoss he was in the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra first. And the Black Seeds

[MrMeeseman]

@ClarkeTheBoss The one and only

[Professor263]

Sweeeeeet!

Been trying to learn this song for a while on my uke. Regardless of the troublesome E chord - it's a bitch to play solo!

[Blackwolff9]

You know your song is epic when you can rock it on a uke! Great post!

[thatch]

haha excellent

[fkylw]

BRET!!!!!!!!!

[luminos]

"Brit"

[Rozilla]

WOW! LOVE IT!

[Mobbs1]

Eh, I don't like their resolution to the major chord in the chorus. the original minor chord suits the piece way more. I dunno if it was a mistake or a choice on their half though

[fatherlennard]

agreed. it's hideous! shame.

[fatherlennard]

agreed

[foxdie232]

@ Mobbs1

I agree. It has a weird feel to it.

[gabichou26]

This sounds really cute on the ukulele, but the singing is kind of out of tune haha.

[chavezo]

really cool!

[jido35]

You know It's Bret McKenzie. Why bother asking? It even says it in the description. Do you people just want to feel cool that you recognize it's him.  Btw, I can't believe that's Bret McKenzie...Hahahahaha.
