Hammering away at it with a pick... meh. Not bad, but it looked like a Pepsi can trying to play the uke to me. Just another over-produced product.
I keep hoping this "uke as pop fad" thing will pass soon. Things like this shove it right back to the novelty bin.
Like any popularity bubble, when it breaks - no one takes it seriously anymore. We’ve seen it happen to the uke, twice. It’s taken longer than I’ve been alive to recover from the last one.
Much better to have a slow increase in interest from low key, yet serious musicians. That’s sustainable. The minute these Disney kids go for it, the party is pretty much over.
I saw that writing on the wall when some twit "played" one on American Idol a while ago - this is just further proof of the end-times for this phase of uke popularity in my opinion.
