Jake Shimabukuro - "Bohemian Rhapsody" - TED (2010) - ukelele cover

hello ha today I'm going to try to convince you that what the world needs now is Luka Lilly you know this is the underdog of all instruments and I've always believed that you know it's the instrument of peace because if everyone played the ukulele this world would be a much happier place so I'm going to play Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody you you you the precision of a watch is a function of its movement for Rolex and for Hans Wilsdorf to guarantee the precision of a timepiece the pressing question was how to protect the movement itself from the elements not only water but also tiny particles of dust in 1926 a major step was taken with the creation of the world's first waterproof and dustproof wristwatch the Rolex oyster was born over the years subtle changes in the design continued to improve the oyster adding more comfort while keeping the style contemporary bunt along with style more functions have been added a Rolex wristwatch was the first to show the date through a small aperture on the face it was also the first wristwatch to spell out the day of the week in four in the early 1950s Rolex developed professional watches whose functions went far beyond telling the time launched in 1953 the Submariner was the first Rolex watch guaranteed water proved to a depth of 330 feet already on an incredible journey of innovation and design Rolex decided to push the boundaries even further in 1960 the bathyscaphe Trieste and Rolex made history the submersible successfully dived to 35,000 800 feet below the surface of the ocean a Rolex deep-sea special was strapped to the outside the development of undersea exploration led to the launching in 1967 of the sea dweller 2,000 waterproof to a depth of 2,000 feet in 2008 the Submariner in gold is redesigned and the case features a new unidirectional rotatable bezel with a sarah chrome disc fitted with the patented rolex ring lock system the Rolex deep-sea safely descends to twelve thousand eight hundred feet Rolex has incorporated countless hours and more than a century of experience you of research innovation and development into every one of its models and the benefits arising from this work including waterproofness precision and durability are the result of Rolexes continuous pursuit of perfection from the most elegant and prestigious models to the professional timepieces all are exquisitely crafted piece by piece we design and manufacture every single watch and the story continues

Goosebumps and a tear... that's good shit.

Impossible not to sing along, at least in your head.

Also, dem harmonics.

...and this is the reason I will always have a bit of a soft spot for uke. People always underestimate it, and then they hear someone like this fellow play. :-)

I saw this video about 5 years ago. Love listening to his covers.
