JES sent me this video of a hilarious kid mock-covering Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" on a ukelele.
Yes, the video's funny, but now I'm going to get all nerdy about it. Can I also just point out that this kid is a freakin' genius? I have no idea how old he is, but the ukelele playing is dang tootin'. And he's either a genius at comedy--making fun of the sentiment of the song with the facial expressions? Mocking the intent by reducing the lyrics to blah blah blahs?--or a genius at music--ignoring the lyrics entirely but somehow catching the every little inflection, like he's deaf to everything but the music?--or both.
You go, little genius uke kid.

Ha! He's adorable. Love.
Oops! Spelling gremlin crept in! The earlier post should read:
He's a very cute little genius uke kid! But I wonder how the ukelele kid would do on a vuvuzela?
(Five unique prizes from South Africa up for grabs in my blog's Christmas Contest) (but to win a vuvuzela you'll have to wait for the 2010 World Cup soccer)
He is too cute! Couldn't understand a word, but his playing is fantastic.
He's adorable AND a genius. My kids have little touristy ukeleles, and when I try to play them, I frighten our dogs.
P.S. - Yet I'd be willing to play at weddings. I won't charge much.
OMG TOO CUTE!!!!!
That kid can play! And he's freakin' cute.
LOL
Hahaha! This made my day, seriously.
Dynamite. Sent it to all the ladies in my family. I depend on you, Moonrat, for links to adorable kids and animals doing adorable things. The sort of stuff I could never find myself.
But why is he in a storeroom?
He is clearly engaged in a deconstructive project of reducing the heteronormative romantic narrative to reveal its inherent catachresis. Anyway, that's a new dimension of awesome.
hee hees

Now, now. You know the reason we all love you and keep coming back is that you're not just a squeegirl* with a sense of humor; you're a nerdy squeegirl with a sense of humor.

I thought that he wasn't actually singing the words because he's a non-english speaker...
Duh -- I thought I'd invented "squeegirl." But the Urban Dictionary entry for it was dated 2006.
So forget the footnote.

This is ADORABLE. He sure had an itchy nose.
