@logophile The banjo uke was too loud for the camera to pick up correctly. I'm sure it sounds great (although I'm a banjo uke aficionado)

This song also appeared in the John Waters film "Pecker" -- which took place in Baltimore (for all his wierdness, he's got a ton of Baltimore pride)

[mobtownblues]

I only recently discovered George Formby, who made this song popular. Your version rocks.

[logophile]

That uke doesn't sound very good. Your voice is nice, though.

How cute is this!!!

[UkeeDreamer]

What a hoot!!! Reminds me the scene from "When Harry Met Sally"; "I'll have whatever she's having." Oh happy day. Loon

[MrJnobianchi]

Yay! My favorite so far as well. This is wonderful - its hard not to laugh along. And I AM partial to banjolele. Keep 'em coming, Victoria~!

[LStrachey]

the late great George Formby did a nice version of this -- fine job Victoria
