Actually I've had the Applause ("by Ovation") uke almost as long as the Flea, which it replaced as my carrying-around-in-a-backpack uke, but I rarely play it on video. Nice solid little instrument and nearly completely plastic.
The washboard has always been there--I don't have any occasion for playing, but I am stocked up on thimbles, so I'm ready....
Dark colors--I do have a rather pronounced need for shades that don't show the dirt!!!! (AND btw, thank you!)
I remember this song with great relish for The Marx Brothers (Groucho,Chico,Harpo and Zeppo) had all tried to conquer the beautiful Thelma Todd by serenading her with it (Harpo played it on his beloved harp sans vocals.)
Anyway,the animal sounds which you have gleefully provided here in your simple rendering made it all the more fun. A top shelf floorshow,indeed.
Oh goodie, I loved this! Please keep on playing. You made me smile.

When I make 'em up they end up pretty simple! Here's what I did:
Intro: C G7 C
Verse 1: C G7 / C F / C Fm G7 / C (G7)
Verse 2: C G7 / C F / C Fm G7 / C (B7)
Bridge 1: Em B7 Em / G D7 Fm G7
Then repeat for Verse 3, 4, Bridge 2
Last verse: C G7 / C F / C Fm G7 / C G7 / C C+F7 C
Of course this is just a composite of the Horsefeathers version, where all 4 of the bros contribute. Have fun!

A new ukulele? An Ovation?
Great song, warming delivery ( and dare I say... I think you suit dark colors) and what's this! A washboard against the wall behind you?

I love that scene! BUT I didn't try to include any of Chico's verses, nor Harpo's whistling!!!
