[MsAlvaro1974]

Espectacular, saudações de Portugal

[mankuser11]

Part of this song I really like and it is better for me most of the song thanks ... Eleven of the Polish Caesar.

[ODDNOMAD]

[passionata057]

Quel talent... Bravo les artistes !!!

[EffOne95]

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Part 2: Hawaii

[Matsuyamanokage]

This is well done! Awesome.

[kilthinian]

my fave part is when he's trying to whistle, but laughs half way

[JonDeVivre]

He is not

[ThePunkrock111]

what kind of uke is that giant one that looks like an acustic

[thelambslion]

@ThePunkrock111 that would be a Bass Ukulele

[malafatrosto]

8 people are joker and grinch.

[KatelynnandBriana]

i like the guy who whistles, ;D lol this is good!

[niza4ever]

7 people cant play the ukulele

[MitchellDC1994]

@niza4ever a lot of people can't play the ukulele... that doesnt dismiss the fact they like this :L

[niza4ever]

@MitchellDC1994 that is true but you know, i was messing :P

[bgilmore3]

"tragically, one of the very few things still Great *about* Britain." oh boo hoo. What a crappy thing to say about Britain... and I am not even from Britain.

[valleymusiccenter]

phat bass!!!!



[thecasperfj]

Do you know when the best part is???

Somewhere between 0:00 and 3:54

[Rimcha]

2:32  lovely ))

[slipknotforeverkp666]

Very Good!

[connerisawsome]

if you're going to shoot--shoot, don't talk

[amandaaccardi]

yes. very yes.



[Leannelez97]

How can they keep a straight face?? I was laughing all over the floor!!!

[deThadeuz]

@Leannelez97 The bass-ukulelist couldn't keep a straight face all the way through... ;)

[HanoiRocker85]

The climax isn't there...

[grayhairs519]

This has made my day.

[TheAntiMainstream]

It´s funny how they look so fucking serious playing the ukulele and saying "UH AH".

[DerDeziBelzeBub]

they proof that size doesn't matter... ;)

[whowantsabighug]

They all have HUGE noses...

[Georgeman112]

It is a shame the music of Britain is American style 'pop' and hip-hop, this is real music not that semi-porn you pass off as music

[oros6]

This is soooo hilarious xD

[dmunsha]

this guys whistle is epic 

[Squidgington]

@dmunsha You should check out the video of Jonti whistling all on his own.. It's astounding!

[PuppyZwolle]

Goosebumps. I mean chills aaaallll over.

[sejanus4th]

Hot lead enemas for the 7 thumbs down. Miserable buggers.

[furiobrady]

just superb, and made me smile

[markiliff]

That final chord is beautiful. Assuming the predominant chord is Dm ~ and I think it is ~ then anybody know what the final chord is?

µ

[mydlands]

@markiliff No, it can't be D minor as the last chord because it did the bait and switch at the end to make it in major at the very last. It could have been D minor before that, but definitely not at the end.

[markiliff]

@mydlands Thanks. Yes, I know the last chord ain't Dm ~ hence "anybody know what the final chord is?"

I've listened a few more times and think it's D in place of Dm.

(Don't understand the term "bait and switch" except in a selling context.)

µ

[mydlands]

@markiliff I could have called it a Picardy 3rd, which is the historically common way to end a minor song in major. I'm just not sure that's what it is because while short, it's more major than just the final cadence.

[mikie125first]

Super originale j'adore!!!!! excellent!!! I looooove

[HKB5190]

7 People dislike Hawaii and Clint Eastwood

[oranjebelg]

From Great Britain, or Timboektoe for all I care, I just love what they perform... i have only one word for it : Brilliant!!!

[thummy09]

Best use of the internet to date.Thanks for posting.

[Z3t487]

ahhahahahaha w this orchestra

[gazzah54]

I WILL LIVE AND DIE A TRUE ENGLISH MAN

[nugget147]

Unbelievable how every comments section for these videos is filled with people arguing over grammar.

I'll just say that the actual video for which this comments section exists is outstanding, and I sincerely hope that this petty, condescending, grammar-correcting bullshit is soon to be resolved, as it got old long ago and no one comes out of it looking good.

[zackyko]

Amazing!

[roaringrockets]

The best version of this theme on youTube, other than those conducted by Morricone himself!

[lairyleroy87]

Japanese and Indian people do not either speak or write English better than the English. Nor do the English speak or write it better than the Japanese, Indian or any other people for that matter. Languages are constantly evolving, there are no right or wrongs. And yes before people jump up and down saying there is a standard written English, so of course there are right and wrongs, I'm afraid that constantly changes as well. So remove your heads from your miseducated arses and enjoy the music.

[NarutoUzumakis]

awesome,this is the best cover theyve done

[10101981]

Amazing!!!

[HughMacLennan]

Is that guy on the end playing a baritone or guitar?

[Wilsonmusic1]

@HughMacLennan He plays a bass-ukulele

[greenXpaddy]

Any news on a tour? I would take task that this is the only great thing left in great britain. Very amusing and entertaining though -

[kelvinpert]

MartinJKearns. - You must be a very unhappy person. Fortunately listening to the Uks totally invalidates you and your very sad views. I hope the therapy sessions work for you

[GuloOo42]

good work..;)

[SirTWF]

One of the very few things still great about britain?? Stop reading the daily mail and grow up.

[MartinJKearns]

@SirTWF: It's Britain (or GREAT BRITAIN if you really do believe in that enduring fairy tale - but it is never "britain").

Country names are always capitalised; likewise proper names and titles, such as the Daily Mail. It's because you are only semi literate in the English language that I now know you were probably not educated in Japan or India.

Feel free to name some great things about modern Great Britain and we can discuss it here. All invited, indoors if wet.

[michaelsembwever]

@MartinJKearns britain britain britain britian... now the sky will fall and we'll all burn in hell. In SirTWF words "grow up".

:-D

[FrogJacuzzi]

@MartinJKearns Cheese. Also, sarcasm.

[MartinJKearns]

@FrogJacuzzi @michaelsembwever:

Sarcasm, yes, because anything more complex - such as bathos, parody or satire - would be lost on weapons-grade fuck nuggets such as yourselves.

Do feel free to piss off, never to return.

[FrogJacuzzi]

@MartinJKearns You know nothing about me. And every country I've been to has lots of good, and bad stuff that it turns out. Are you saying Britain used to be greater than it is? Depends on what you mean by great. I'm proud to be a human from Earth...

Britain's my home, which I miss when I'm away from it. I especially miss its people, just because they're who I'm used to. Better/worse doesn't really come into it. Beyond that, I don't see a lot of point in patriotism. Nostalgia seems foolish too.

[bearchildofdeath]

@MartinJKearns

You're a bit racist.

[JLazn]

@MartinJKearns

Stop trying to sound so smart it makes you look like a jackass.

[FrogJacuzzi]

@MartinJKearns Also, tasty ale. Chilled to below room temperature, but nowhere near as much as stupidly sweet European pig swill needs to be. And hand pumped, so you can get nicely pissed without getting bloated on useless gas.

[lastgoodid]

@MartinJKearns I'm very sorry Martin but at present the Japanese and Indians do speak and write better English than the English do. English in England is almost completely dead. A rather sorry state of affairs.

[MartinJKearns]

@lastgoodid In writing: ". It's because you are only semi literate in the English language that I now know you were probably not educated in Japan or India..."

I was indeed suggesting that both Indian and Japanese children are way better educated in the English language (and all other worthwhile disciplines) than their British counterparts...

A typical Indian youth can easily communicate fluently in English, while a typical Brit teenager struggles with anything beyond the terms Biryani....

[valletiberti]

@MartinJKearns It's the same here in the U.S.

[ukanian]

@MartinJKearns As a teenager myself I totally reject and resent that.

[4sophiachan]

@lastgoodid while I'd like to entertain that notion - I sincerely doubt, from what I have seen, that Japanese English is better that English English.

[lastgoodid]

@4sophiachan I'm not referring to the way they speak it... But the level of training imparted is of very high standards... An accent does not make a person

[birdman3120]

@MartinJKearns I'm guessing a Daily Mail or Daily Express reader. Plus, a UKIP or BNP voter. What about Britain's scenery and famous sites, the music we produce, the live music on offer from concerts to opera, the great television on offer to people of different tastes, the large choices of cuisine, our old traditional pubs and newer gastro pubs, our ales and ciders, the food, Sunday roasts, the pound, sports on offer, free healthcare, the history and heritage of the country, we get .....

[birdman3120]

@MartinJKearns ..... bad weather but at least there aren’t natural disasters, literature, good theatres, tolerance, fairness, politeness and manners and for a lot of people, the Royal Family. If you don’t agree with any of this, then you know what to do. Leave the country! One less negative self-hater to worry about.

[benjanning]

@MartinJKearns Chill

[ukanian]

@MartinJKearns Liberal democracy, rights to freedom of press, speech and association although not taken horrendously out of context and applied within reason based parameters, industrialisation, strong currency, a powerful monarch who remains benign, multiple party representation, goverment that can take criticism, progression towards secularisation of state, fantastic education system, high level research and technology, in demand service provision, welfare support system, independent judiciary

[CharlieSpeagle]

@ukanian: Very good. Possibly you even believe all that BS you are spouting. Now go and get yourself a proper education, you know-nothing rugrat.

[ukanian]

@CharlieSpeagle I have 12 A*s at GCSE, 2 As at AS level and 3 A*s and an A at A2, reading for a BSc in Logic and Philosophy of Science - Physics from the University of St Andrews. Tell me, why should I doubt my education. Perhaps though your degree from the university of life skills and manners is going to tell me which of my examples is incorrect and decent analysis as to why. As for the strong currency, the pound sterling is still stronger than the euro and the US dollar.

[MartinJKearns]

@ukanian Yo, Brain of bRITAIN, you're conversing with a dog. Woof!

[bootr005]

@ukanian stop showing off with your lies and get a life

[HorseLoberr]

@ukanian You might very well be qualified, and bath yourself in self glorification and postulation...non the less you are a complete fool..and probably a loner to boot!

[ukanian]

@HorseLoberr Your own vastly intelligent remarks aside, you too aren't going to answer my challenge then? If I was a petty man I would point out the misspelling of 'bathe' and 'nonetheless'

[CharlieSpeagle]

@ukanian I particularly enjoyed the "strong currency" part. Knob.

[MartinJKearns]

@CharlieSpeagle Play nicely, children....

[proceptor]

@SirTWF The 'Great' in Great Britain refers to the largest island of the British Isles.

The 'Great' is non political but refers to size.

[ojf1985]

@SirTWF well..I think he's right

[MarcusBritish]

@SirTWF Since the Tories, and that autocratic dickhead Cameron, came to power, the statement has become much more accurate. :P

[umairaslam25]

at times it gets so f**kin funny! :D

[MR1DEMENCIA1]

5 stupid people must die!!! call the good one!!!! ;p

[JaneEyreFan19]

they guy on the left rocks

[ELIDO75018]

great show, well performed !

[st8pl8guy]

... LOLZ! Love it!

[wegeable]

5 people are the bad and ugly

[FranzKapranos]

@wegeable I disagree with that comment, cause actually Angel Eyes and Tuco are one of the greatest characters ever.

[kilthinian]

@wegeable now it's nine people :) i think they're just the badder and uglier

[paulinhasofia]

just amazing!

[sylar1337]

epic whistle

[jnita2010]

I just love them!

[CaliforniaUbrGrl]

the Colonies love this !!

[groovie99]

teh awesomeness

[bobba44]

this is super awesome...the ukulele makes me happy...and this song brought me to tears..laughing so hard...LOVE IT

[fminton283]

Ok, I usually show links to old hippy music, but look at this one, and please watch all of it its really incredible. At 2:43 the whistler cracks up because he knows what is coming.

[CanijAsa]

4 Dislike of RAPSTARS

[sofiabailote]

love the guy with the glasses... I'd love to see these guys perform live.

[jmckinnon117]

>>>WALTER TAFT, JR. ~~~LOVE YOU, MAN

[greenbeaverfilms]

In the original version, it has always sounded to me like someone says: "Who took my headphones?"

[cossiemk2]

at 2:33 to err is human.

Love this song and its performed beautifully!

[MattOGormanSmith]

Britain will always be Great as long as we have a greater land area than Ireland. Word!

[ojamablack21]

@MattOGormanSmith Wtf man? i'm irish and thats not sound at all! Thats why soo many Irish hate people from Britain because of comments like that. That and controlling us for 750 years that could be a reason aswell

[carrotfacestudios]

who were the four idiots who didn't like this video???

[warluso]

5 Stars

[caz62]

absolutely brilliant .. comedic FUN time! ty for uploading!

[FLOPSandBART]

Very Good Enjoyed this......Very Much.....Well Done

[robert1352]

Cant stop watching this!!!!

[crystalfairie]

What's so bad about Great Britain? There's quite a few good things about it, or at least with in it.

[masterAdz24]

for some reason i keep coming back to this vid its pure genius and these lot r awesome whistling=epic 

[phase1775]

Who are the 3 dumbasses who disliked this? Frickin' morons!

[DomIstKrieg]

nice.

[r4frizbee]

Pasta al dente (as it should be)

[randomstuff3201]

I like this, but the camera work bugs me... They are either zoomed in too close (to a face or instrument) or too far out (the whole group). Can we not see the person playing a certain part - their face and instrument at the same time)?

[wilsonnortheast]

What do you mean one of the last things great about Britain, I rather think that the NHS, the free education are ok. Mind you Tony B Liar still walks unmolested and un executed as well as the other war criminals and that prancing posh twat Cameron sits there smugly with his loyal little lap dog Clegg, and we are a nation of lap dogs to the worst most un civilised group of imperial wankers to stain the history books. Nice band anyway.

[kangur890]

great!

[NZUkuleleGuy]

@bobrt80 me too!

[MsMichmouse]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!

[Jonathan09625]

[EatColorBlue]

[Shikady]

Most awesome band I heard in a long while, they are simple awesome.

[bl0ke]

Does this make anyone else want to watch the movie?
