See Dick Dale in the Ed Sullivan Show in 1963 ( Ask You Tube ...) playing a version of Misirlou in Surf Music Rhytim and later in Tarantino's Pulp Fiction Theme.( Ask You Tube too...) Same stringing...Very nice playing...alll of them...

[romanna21]

Bravo!!! I can't stop listening, It's too beautiful!

[ethel212oasa]

VERY GOOD THIS VERSION OF MISIRLOU AM FROM GREECE AND I LOVE THIS TRACK!!!!!

[darkgeeky]

[ClandestineSnowman]

@darkgeeky Pump It sounds exactly like Misirlou....

[MrMzubair786]

[UkuleleUkulele90]

It's funny how one guy "James hill" can play this song better than all of them combined haha

[20dasdave07]

the uk soooooc cute with the mini cut away :D

[netcvet]

Sorry, I checked out on the serbian wikipedia, and Vranjanka was first time played 1972 and Misirlou 1927. So it is a greek song. The feel and melos are typical for Balkan countries wich is why I was convinced it's serbian. So mr. Reviewer, I guess you were right about the first part, but the second part is still stupid.

[netcvet]

This song INDEED originates from Serbia. The name of the original song is VRANJANKA (which means - girl from VRANJE, a town in Serbia), and if you type in the search bar the original name of the song (Vranjanka), you will find many different serbian versions. I don't have anything against interpretations of any song, it just adds value to a song, but this song is neither russian, nor greek, it's serbian with very typical serbian feel. So mr. Reviewer, your review is quite stupid (no offence)

@mog2048:boring comment - isn't it?

[mog2048]

boring audience, isn't it?

[Jnth007]

@mog2048 rather speachless...

[FlintLostsoul]

@mog2048 see them crack up at the 'respect' performance.

[kainalunolan27]

Never in my ukulele career have I ever seen people use a pick to play the uke. Weird, but very creative. I'll give them that much. =)

[KizZamP92]

i now respect the ukulele lots more :D

[zenitizam]

very creative people...

[seangelion]

They are brilliant!

[funkypixie1]

Dave s. do believe that is you on the end. I never got to see you play with this lot. Got a vid somewhere of you with Bob at Crayford town hall somewhere .

Hugs Jan

[mike5012tx]

I saw them for the first time at the August 2009 Great British Beer Festival at Earls Court. Brilliant set with lots of great beer. Loved them so much I bought their CD's straight away at the gig. I now drive my wife nuts as I play them all the time in the car! I've even sat in front of the you tube video's and played along on my mandolin! (Never did learn how to play the ukulele even though I have one)

[TheEnricom]

cool

[mickeyhellas]

Brilliant!!!!!

[ryandude1994]

and people say they aren't a real orchestra...they're amazing, they can play anything in a serious or jokey/clever way. I went to see them live and they pleased everyone, i had a smile on my face for 2 weeks

[kokoro86]

Brilliant!

[mittins11]

thats awesome

[Younesthemusician]

very beautiful

even if the mode is a bit a bit modified in 2:00 from the original version played in a pure Hidjaz scale ( I don't know how is this mode called in the greek denomination )

wonderful

thank you

[VintageandUsed]

Hidjaz in Greek, too...

:-)

Yes it is modified, but so is Dick Dale's cover!

Very well done isn't it?

Cheers

[Younesthemusician]

Thank you for the information .

and yes , it's very well done , I really enjoyed it .

[ihearttinytim]

Awesome!!! :o)

[stevietheflea]

Oh, I can dance to this...the Tango...in my Gomez Addams get-up!

[CagalliLacusXD]

It is not tango (Argentina), it is greek

[OURIOS]

Greetings from Greece! awesome..

[stationaryclouds]

this version has a mystic trippy vibe to it, i prefer the "can't stop dancing for some reason" version(the pulp fiction version), but that's just my taste, that doesn't change the fact that these guys are awesome!

[Daracdor]

I love these ppl . I really want to see them live .. they are based in Leeds I think , but on the website for gigs .. they seem to play a lot down south .. not up here ( Yorkshire ) ahh well ... one day :))

[throttleup]

This song rocks.  I can't seem to stop watching it. Please keep them coming.

[welcome1978]

thats because up North its shit and no one has any money

[pazgriega]

kurplutzo

It could have definitely originated everywere but Serbia!!! How did you fancy such a thing?

[Kurplutzo]

Nice . This was origninated in Serbia. Thanks

[Reviewer01]

Strangely enough, according to Serbs everything seems to originate from Serbia, except Serbs, I guess :-S

[kiratu]

good one mate ^^

[ceh3000]

@Reviewer01 Don't worry in Greece we have the same tendencie..:)

[nobodypk]

@Reviewer01 So stupid, everything, like what, electricity, Nikola Tesla is a Serb, proved, and a lot of other things that are proved, this song evolved from a Serbian/Greek song, but you don't have to believe it if you don't want to. And stop arguing and enjoy.

[xjet]

The more I hear of the UOGB the more I like. There stuff just doesn't get boring. Great!

[bmbioxoi]

Misirlou is an originally Greek song that has captured the whole world.

[kabodsirob]

See "about this video": "Misirlou" - a popular Greek song...

[tobie9000]

Was the rebetiko version also titled Miserlou. The Klezmer one too? What does it mean?

[Cockenballs]

Misirlou is a traditional Greek/Jewish song. Dick Dale did a version of it in the 60's, which was in Pulp Fiction.

[cy369]

yes, Pulp Fiction.

[Troy21071989]

Isn´t Misirlou the intro theme of Pulp Fiction? nice version of the song

[bwdbwd]

Yes, Misirlou appeared also in the motion picture Pulp Fiction. You can here it at the very beginning, in the first "robbery scene" ("I love you, Honey-Boney." - "Everybody calm down, this is a robbery and I will execute...")

[opxts21]

@Troy21071989 hi mates i am from greece Misirlou its an old greek "REBETIKO"song,,,

Dick Dale in pulp fiction make a great cover of misirlou...

in this vid the u.o plays almost the original misirlou...

[ivushko]

Hey Boris, it is something like Russian balalaika band, isn't it? Strange, but funny. last time I saw ukulele in hands of Marilyn Monroe featuring Sugar in that famous movie...

[bwdbwd]

Balalaika is completly something different from the ukulele. That holds true both for sound and scape. UTFG...
