The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain;»Born to be wild«

Billy Wilder und Marilyn Monroe setzten der Ukulele in dem Kult-Film »Manche mögens heiß« ein Denkmal. Wenn THE UKES in die Saiten greifen, ist das Ergebnis ein virtuoser, urkomischer, singender, schwingender, augenzwinkernder, Mund-und-Nase-offenstehen-lassender Nachruf auf den Rockn Roll.

Das Video zeigt einen Live-Mitschnitt des Rock-Klassikers »born to be wild« von STEPPENWOLF. Vorab gab es auf hunderttausend.de ein 5 Fragen Interview. Einen ausführlichen und wohlwollenden Nachbericht zum Konzertabendim Kurfürstlichen Palais findet man bei den geschätzten Kollegen von 16vor.de.

Why does it seam so few find value in true talent??? Doesn't matter if they're european, American, or some other country... UOGB is PURE BRILLIANCE!!!

TOO MANY seem to place value on country of origin... If it's top gold, doesn't matter what country they come from... They deserve top rankings!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH This is more than genius..... More than style... GAHH!H!!

These guys are amazing, and the lead singer is excellent!

I met Mars Bonfire-who wrote this classic-and I know he

would have LOVED this rendition!

ROCK ON, UOGB!!!

Respond to this video... there is a group of fakes, in the worst time honored tradition of show biz rip offs calling themselves "the united kingdom ukelele orchestra". hm. sounds oddly similar to the name of this group. they do the humor bits, alright if that's all you want. they come to germany & leech off the rep.of the originals.but they don't have 10% of the musical/vocal abilities of the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain. fokkin leeches. don't do nothing "cutrate" (ian dury.RIP)

@toddthedrysocket see them live! saw them last night ( 2nd time) in Köln. Back in Black. Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll. Should I stay or should I go. & the only , and i think, forever unmatchable version of "Freak Out". &all the schmaltzy swing, country, folk, pop, disco, classic, tango etc brilliant playing, genius vocals. best live music show of any kind i've seen. even without the great, perfectly English humor bits. (which are also brilliant). BUT ONLY SEE THE REAL DEAL! (see above&below)

[markmarktarmann]

JUST IN CASE ANYONE CAME HERE BY "mistake" INTENDING TO VIEW THE

shameless, rip-off "artisits" the U.K. Ukelele whorchestra ...HERE YOU HAVE FOUND THE REAL DEAL; THE ORIGINAL; THE ONE AND ONLY.

[toddthedrysocket]
