Saw the title of this thread and figured it must be a joke. I mean who in their right mind would even think of such a thing?
Turns out it's no joke. Then again, I should have known - it's johnnyfoodstamp.

Haha. Yes, when I first starting arranging this song for ukulele I looked at it as somewhat of a daunting task. Thanks for checking out my video!

Oh, also, last night I recorded a version of this tune with guitar backing track for my soundcloud. I used the fancy mic instead of just my phone lol, and I think it came out really good.

Yeah, that guitar rhythm was just what you needed. Love that gypsy jazz. And when I saw the photo on soundcloud it struck me how when your hair is slicked back like that you actually look like Django (I need to take up smoking again!). Thanks!

Ha. And I just quit smoking a few months ago too. haha
Yeah, the guitar certainly completes the tune. I wish I had done the backing track before the video now.... oh well.
