And Now for Something Completely Different...

Some great ukulele playing.

Fun to see classic ukes in old movies! Sad to think how many were lost in similar accidents.

That really cheered me up..in fact it made me giggle when the Taxi driver was getting worked over..

Nice. I can't decide whether using the same gag (falling over a suitcase) is either a stroke of genius or a commentary on the progression in humour over the years. But the timing is impeccable.

Looks like someone needs to pay a visit to the Uke Tech Support subforum...

It looks like it was written for the movie.

Lyrics
HONOLULU BABY
From the Laurel & Hardy film "Sons Of The Desert" (1933)
(T. Marvin Hatley)
Ty Parvis (Film Soundtrack) - 1933
Laurel & Hardy (Film Soundtrack) - 1933
While down on a South Sea island
Underneath the beauty of the stars
I strayed upon some maidens
Who were strumming on their guitars
A hula maid was dancing
And she knew I'd found my paradise
So this is what I told her
As I gazed into her eyes...
Honolulu baby, where'd you get those eyes
And that dark complexion, I just idolize
Honolulu baby, where'd you get that style
And the pretty red lips, and that sunny smile
When you start to dance, your hula hips entrance
When you shake it up and down
You shake a little here, you shake a little there
Well you got the boys going to town
Honolulu baby, sure know your stuff
Honolulu baby, gonna call your bluff

Ken, did you know that Sheffield Wednesday supporters have been singing a version of this song at football matches since about 1978? Maybe they need.a.source of ukuleles...? Sales opportunity?
