I love a *quality cover. Great stuff.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by dag.

If you look at the video, you can see that it's *livemusic.

Invocations (livemusic) cannot be called by mrsid because mrsid is not privileged - sorry.

Really nice voice, pity it seems they didn't change the audio track to mono/turn that stereo mic 90 degrees.

It's right on the screen, isn't it?

Adding video to channels (Livemusic) - requested by silvercord.

OK, I didn't want to like this. We already have one more ukulele video than we need. Isn't one enough? HOWEVER . . . this is wonderful. And here is more:

Is there an echo in here?

I've got my own damn pipe wrench!

I agree with the guy at the end...those box thingies are tough to play with any consistency.

Without being insulted - my spider senses were tingling on autotune at times. Could have been coincidence. Curse modern technology fuelling my paranoia over talent.

As she started to sing, I thought "wait, that's not how the lyrics go!". Then I started trying to remember how they do go:
"Reading a book, lady brings a new cup of coffee".
Damn that literal version.

Anyway, who cares about the ukulele, that's a thumb piano!

she has a similar voice to dido

Upvote for what looks like a sweet litebrite setup.

I swear this is the last time I upvote a ukelele. Not that any cares of course.

Congrats on undermining both of these people with one efficient title. The woman is reduced to a "cute girl" and the man is ignored.

Well, to be honest, the guy looks like he's texting on the biggest Blackberry I've ever seen.

Come on, don't you like left channel only music?

The world is ending. Find cover.

Tell me, is it possible to be any more oversensitive?

That's the only reason I clicked, so I'd say he did well!

It's not about being sensitive. Normally I don't care so much about this sort of thing, but it's getting annoying how much people manipulate titles to try to pull in views. Whether she's cute or not; and I happen to think she's a bit ugly; has nothing to do with this video. This is a talented duo performing a song. The video ought to be able to stand on that.

^ That's nothing! I singlehandedly reduced one of the best Youtube atheist speakers to "Hot Romanian Girl"!

The over-sized blackberry is called an "mbira," or more colloquially an African Thumb Piano.

That's what it takes to make it on the Sift.

No auto-tune danny. You didn't grow up in CT by any chance? I miss an old friend from there...

You go to great lengths to try to put the talent in display in the video over the looks of the girl, and yet manage to say she's ugly... bravo.

"Studmuffin with lengthy genitals play with box"

new title for the sticklers.

if people base video popularity merely on the video's title, why is "Philip: 86 year old Rep and WW II vet speaks about equality" at #3... ?

^Opus, I apologize! I did not mean to downvote your comment at all. I was actually downvoting the quoted part of it before I realized that you were addressing it, and for that I should have upvoted because I agree with your sentiment. Very very sorry!

BAN HER!

Can't downvote, or I'd do it for the deceptive title. >:[

I clicked expecting to see a "cute girl," instead I get this ugly, nappy-haired hippie and her emo-haired bf.

just what I needed after putting up with crap from co-workers =)

She is a cute girl, she's also possibly reading this. No one likes to be called ugly, especially in a video they poured themselves into. A little more empathy please - or you may find yourself more at home making comments here.

dam thats good stuff.

Lovely.

I agree with "cute". Cute comes from more places than pure features. Anyone saying she's "ugly" is intimidated by her ability and skill.

That being said, she does seem the type who couldn't give a shit about a negative opinion.

God I hate that nerdy look of hers. She had to pick an obscure instrument to be extra "geeky". God damn attention whore, I see what you did there.

This belongs in my *Happy channel. I just wish I could delete all the mean-spirited, UGLY commentary... disgusting.

I can't believe there's a playlist called "Hot girls singing with ukulele".

Did you know that if you put a candle wick in a tub of cheez-whiz you can burn it as an emergency candle for up to four hours? Always be prepared.
