  • You can take this to the hood ;)

  • wait actually its starts around 50 secs.

  • i have the chords down but what are you doing for the solo part around 1:10. i dont have a uke in front of me right now so its hard to figure out. thanks!

  • sweet n groovy. ;)

  • what is your number

  • what is your number

  • could you do one with just the ukulele pleaseee

  • this is so fucking awesome! I must have commented this video multiple times already!

  • This is strange yet awesome. Very, very awesome. 

  • this is the shit! period ! de la and uke... wow this is fantastic

  • actually amazing i was expecting to cringe but this is great!!

  • watching this cover makes me want to go out on the next pay day and purchase a ukulele from johnny roadhouse music.

  • Love it. What's the strum pattern? 

  • lovin the beat, i feel like the overly dry sounding "im an average white guy" rapping is so overdone and corny... u shoulda just sang. cool concept tho.

  • @dboyoioi

    He is singing it. You can't change how the lyrics flow without changing the rest of the song. He sung as much as he could with the format of the lyrics. 

  • @dboyoioi - Not to accuse you of being too negative but; the original is very "talky" too - it's not exactly singing, just like a flowing voice.

    Great work Greeno

  • @blowbags2008 i have definitely been called too negative, and i am probably biased by deep love of de la soul. i think the music sounds awesome, but his voice has absolutely no "flowing" to it the way the original does. thats what i was trying to say. to me it sounds like hes reading a list, not flowin'. check out the bouncing souls covering sick of it all's "good lookin out". great ukelele tune

  • i don't think you know how dope this is. you can't possibly know. good job!

  • So epic

  • ale gościu dobry jest może te rapowanie troche nie tego ale ta gitarka i wgl całość zajebiste jest ;]

  • Classic.

  • i imagine craig ferguson is singing this

  • i can't quit this. love de la soul. nice work. and for some reason the accent works.

  • I fuckin' love this....

  • You sir, are bloody great!

  • you should have spent the extra to get the fruit design mahalo lolz. i got it 2 days ago, this vid is part of what influenced me to get a uke. fucking ace!

  • cool :)::)

  • HAHAHAH! this is awesome!

  • Wow! This really works! Funny no Alternative band ever thought of this! Awesome dude! Got any more? Puh-Lease Try some Plug Tunin!

  • I totally stumpled above this by accident & sir I hate you for this being my favorite upload on you tube today. It put a smile on my face, I love this record and your version is great fun.

  • Strange. Thanks

  • Where's your head? Are you a zombie?

  • @spookendeklopgeesten - Zombies can have heads.

  • so dope thank you much!!
