[wtfisasnuggie1]

[dalindes]

Ukes, not nukes! :)

[bestemore]

This is the fucking best

[zunimano]

I DO PLAY LCD SOUNDSYSTEM ON MY UKULELE

[pupeesrtbst]

I like eating frootloops in the dark. :C

[MundaneLynelle]

I got $15 a ukulele back in 2010, but I never got to learn to do much with it. Because I can't play any other instruments and I'm a shitty self-teacher. I picked it up again recently because I lost a bet and I have to cover Rebecca Black's Friday. I'm sorry, ukulele. I'll learn a real song. Thank you, Amanda Palmer XD

[FailienFreshbean1976]

I got a ukulele for christmas because of this woman. AFP forever and ever.

[thelaughingman79]

she should have sold some right there i bet she could have sold like 200 in 5 mins. he he

[superwakka]

This is the best performance i have seen in a long time. No big stage, no sound system, no lights and shit, just art at it's best. I love this video it's amazing!

[fergaliciously]

I just got goosebumps in my legs that spread all the way up my spine and ended up in my ears. I love her.

[bree2122]

what a brilliant woman.

[GinPrincess3931]

You see, I can't play the Uke. Even badly. I envy anyone who can though :)

[EcstasyOfApostasy]

I don't know how to play any musical instrument, but I am seriously considering buying a ukulele now.

[nateman010276]

[piglet3seven]

Chords? Please?!?!?!?

[WeAreTheWantAds]

[LemurLlama]

Love Love Love Love Love Love Love Love Love Love LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!

[sharonmary]

After years of struggling with trying to play guitar (I'm a music therapist, they consider guitar a requisite instrument) I have taken the power back, and exchanged my guitar for a good ukelele. It was listening to this song that finally decided me. Thanks Amanda! xxoo

[serendipity4212]

That is the most badass ukulele I've ever seen! The song complements it nicely.

[VictorianAndroid]

You honestly have no idea how happy this just made me.

[karmamara]

do you write this stuff or is it just improvised?

[dominictemple]

Fantastic! Great fun.

[glasseyelashes]

amandapalmer, you are amazing.

[nevernevereverland]

Gonna get a ukulele and gonna play real badly.

[HydeLeach]

I want a ukulele now.

[according2rainey]

This is the most amazing thing i have ever seen...I already loved you but now I love you a lot more ^_^ I am showing this to everyone I know

[ethosflux]

the word pathetic doesn't even begin to describe this.

[thelaynie]

@ethosflux Clearly you need ukulele therapy.

[Kaitekaite100]

Now I have to get a job so I can buy a ukelele. There's an occupy wall-street in nearly every major city now! Support!

[dcorps]

damn I wanna ukulele now!

[LittleMissMoose]

this is hilarious. holy shit.

[Nomming]

"Play your ukulele naked."

I've totally done that.

[uber301]

Your music has helped me so much. And now your music is helping the wall street protesters. :)

[EmilySnicket14]

"You’ll minimize some stranger’s sadness

With a piece of wood and plastic

Holy fuck it’s so fantastic, playing ukulele!"

I live my life by these words and UKE CAN DO IT TOO.

[Mangaleech]

Ms. Fucking Palmer you smack of sexuality and magic that rises into a hurricane of what I want the world to be. Thank you for existing. Thank you for your success. Those who are jealous should be, because not only do you have the power to bring about change, but you share that power freely with the world. Love to you and yours.

[jpoolerdom]

@Mangaleech All that, and the coolest fucking husband ever. They're a tag team of beauty.

[Mangaleech]

@jpoolerdom Gaiman is what got me into writing. Now I've an unpublished chapbook waiting for the turn around from a few publishers and I'm saving up for a theremin so that I can be part of this band a friend of mine is forming. Basically, Gaiman got me going, and Palmer keeps me going. So yes. They're a tag team of beauty.

[leatherfaced]

Perfect marching song....

[sarahification13]

You should post a ukulele tutorial. I really want to learn and I think you would have some really great tips.

Ps. Love the song. You're fantastic!

[superfluousness321]

amanda you're so brilliant.

[mcrfreak94]

Haha. She would be at Wall Street.

[xxsteviexstilettosxx]

And this is why all I want for Christmas is a Ukulele

[riiu]

@xxsteviexstilettosxx Guess what, I AM getting an ukulele for Christmas ^^

[beansalad]

She is the reason I have ukulele. Whoop.

[BearInfestedWaters]

Lucky Protesters

[Battie]

Ukuleles are the best instrument. Easy. Portable. Cheap xD
