slide ukulele!!!! they are great!!!

[DerDeziBelzeBub]

einfach nur das wort "respect" hier reinzuchreiben, ist warscheinlich nicht sonderlich kreativ, aber es kommt dem schon ziemlich nahe und fasst ganz gut zusammen, was man empfindet, wenn man diese performance hier sieht...

[Zootsings]

This is actually a cover of the Aretha Franklin' cover of Respect. (The original is Otis'.) Still, I like what the Ukulele Orchestra is doing here!

[audicorona]

Who bloody said "White people didn't have soul and rhythm?"....Bloody awesome! Bass player got a real groove to his playing.

[jetroboy]

OK, bwdbwd, this might seem a little crazy. But hear me out.

How about putting the song name in the title?

[buckeyebard]

Dear Peteroerbak, The act of taking a previous composition and applying to a different group of instruments is called 'transcribing' or 'arrangement'. It IS NOT "composing."

Love,

An Educated Musician

[manolard]

Thanks for the lesson - it was keeping me awake, "transcribed? arranged? or composed?... wish i could sleep"

[manolard]

That said - they do a great job of entertaining and you have to repect that.

[theanswer00]

yes, you got it

[steelhill40001]

or transposing if the intrument your switching to is in a different key than the original intrument..

[Peteroerbak]

This is art. They've composed it all so excellent! Simply amazing.

[Frenchiic]

Totally fun and INCREDIBLE.

Great work, great talent.

Total RESPECT to the UOGB !

[PRR5406]

The UOGB is truly a talented, outstanding bunch of musicians and friends. Besides entertainment, they show the rest of us how easy it is to have fun with music.

[Nintendotis]

at first, I saw this and thought it was a joke, but this is pretty sweet. nice work!
