I got a new ukulele... a Smiley uke! This one was built by Don Williams, a guitar luthier based in Rhode Island. Hope you like my rendition of this song made famous by the Mindbenders in the mid-60s and later covered by Phil Collins.

 
Thanks for making a fantastic uke for me, Don! Thanks, Steffen!
 
That was .. well... kinda groovy ;)
& what a fun looking Uke!
 
Such a sweet rendition of a good song. Bravo!

From wiki;

A Groovy Kind of Love
"A Groovy Kind of Love" is a pop song written by Toni Wine and Carole Bayer Sager for the Screen Gems music publishing company. It is heavily based on the Rondo movement of Sonatina in G major, op. 36 no. 5[1] by Muzio Clementi. The song was released first by Diane & Annita in 1965, and several covers have since appeared on worldwide music charts.

The song title was an early use of the then-new slang word "groovy". Wine, who was 17 years old when she wrote the song, said, "Carole came up with "Groovy kinda… groovy kinda… groovy…" and we're all just saying, 'Kinda groovy, kinda groovy, kinda…' and I don't exactly know who came up with "Love", but it was 'Groovy kind of love'. And we did it. We wrote it in 20 minutes. It was amazing. Just flew out of our mouths, and at the piano, it was a real quick and easy song to write."
