"The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" is one of the most haunting theme songs ever composed. It cemented Ennio Morricone's name in musical composition history forever.
George Harrison would have loved this. He was obsessed with the ukulele. He carried a half dozen of them in his trunk. He said you never know when you might need a few. Not everyone has them around.
He may well have loved them as they were performing whilst GH was alive. George Harrison was a fan of George Formby and did attend at least one of their conventions in Blackpool and with has wife and Dhani and Jimmy Nail.
Love the variety of artists you react to, and thanks for the sanity you've brought my family over the last 18 months - we truly enjoy the positivity and enthusiasm of your messages and your videos
I love this group! They have a number of songs that they have done very well. Some of them are Theme From Shaft, Life On Mars (by David Bowie, with a few extra bits thrown in), I Can't Get No Satisfaction, and Car Wash (Rose Royce).
I’m seeing them live at Broadstairs, Kent (nr. London) next Friday. You should do a video for their cover of Slave to the Rhythm, Grace Jones. I think you will love it.
The very fact that Jamel smiled all the way through this song just shows how great the tune and the orchestras interpretation of it truly is. You really have to do a reaction to the Shaft theme tune - you'll love it.
I really love this orchestra, they have been touring all round the world for 36 years remaining independent, sadly losing their co founder in 2017. They are still very active releasing weekly covers. Their version of Bowie's Heroes is awesome, their Lovecats so much fun, to say what is my favorite UOGB track is impossible, they surprise you every week (This week it was the Cranberries Dream). The Guardian stated that "Time and again, their deadpan delivery of egotistical lyrics demolishes the pretensions of the pop industry with flourish." British Council promoting the UOGB tour of China wrote "You may never think about music in the same way once you've been exposed to the ukes' depraved musicology". They tackle absolutely every style of music, while often they are faithful, they are prehaps best known for reworking classics of rock 'n' roll, pop, punk, jazz and classical music etc etc, sometimes changing these so that the expectations of the audience are subverted. Kate Bushes "Wuthering Heights" is reworked as a swinging jazz number - complete with a Cab Calloway-style "Heathcliffe!" call and response,] The Who's power pop "Pinball Wizard" turns into a harmonized a cappella with a vaudevillian lead vocal by Hinchliffe, while the Sex Pistol's "Anarchy in the UK" is performed in the style of a Simon & Garfunkel cosy campfire sing-along folk song were the audience is encouraged to join in. Sometimes the UOGB combine several styles in one track for example, David Bowie's "Life on Mars?" is melded seamlessly with "My Way", "For Once in My Life", "Born Free", "Substitute", and While co-founder and musical arranger George Hinchcliffe with mock seriousness plays Handel's "G Minor Suite No.7 for the Harpsichord" on his Uke, all the other members sing in turn different songs on top the Handel base "Fly Me To The Moon", “Love Story (Where Do I Begin),” "Autumn Leaves", "Killing Me Softly with His Song", "Hotel California" and "I Will Survive", ending with all genre variations performed simultaneously in harmony together. Over the pandemic, including lockdown they released to RUclips several dozen original videos, a treasure trove of musical delights, which kept my spirits very happy. And a fab new young member just officially joined. I have booked to see them live end of the month.
This is the first time I've heard of The Ukulele Orchestra, let alone listened to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly played on a ukulele. What a pleasant surprise. Very cool. Thanks for the introduction.
There is a winter ukelele festival near me -I discovered it 3 yrs ago. Wow I was amazed at the musicality of their performances! What a total enjoyment.
My fave cover band! So glad you found the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain. The theme from Shaft, Wuthering Heights, Highway To Hell are all worth checking out. But their medley (of sorts) Fly Me Off The Handel is genius!
Stumbling on them on RUclips inspired me to take up the Uke and 3 years on and I still pick it up everyday. Just having a strum helps get me through rough patches.
So glad you reacted to this! You should also react to them playing Ride of The Valkyries/Silver Machine, the theme song to Shaft, Teenage Dirtbag, and they also have a number of medley mashups, where they play a number of songs together in the same cadence and tune, and it just fits so perfectly with the combination of tunes they mend together! This never gets old! Keep reacting, sir! You're doing great work!
That was like watching a fine oiled machine running. I enjoyed that Jamel! All those spaghetti westerns and Clint Eastwood movies music come to life. That was fun! ❤️💜💚
They also do a cover of 'The Theme From Shaft'......some AC/DC.....all sorts of stuff. The little dude on the far left is my favorite. He let's his hair down like a wild man in some of their videos.
How cool is that?! Thanks Jamel, I remember that music from watching the movie back in the day. I just aged straight up aged myself but I don't care because I enjoyed that thoroughly!!!! Keep doing what you do. I so appreciate you! 😎❤
Very much appeals to our British sence of humour. And timing is on point with the whole tune. That's why you get goose bumps. You know how great they are at doing what they do, Peace and love to you and your family. And stay safe. 😉
I am so glad you have discovered the joys of The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. If you haven't already, I would recommend their cover of Wuthering Heights. :0)
Saw them at our local park,, totally brilliant, and enjoyable, everyone watching them had a big grin on there faces; thats what music is about; good vibes
Jamel, my friend, you have made my day with this - I love The Ukes. Go and look at their cover of Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights - but remind yourself of the original first! Also, their cover of Lovecats is splendid in a quite different way.
I've been trying to get all the YT reactors to check this out, for ages, so thanks man!! As for great whistlers, you should really have a look at the legendary Roger Whittaker!!! He was born in Kenya, of English parents, & was taught to whistle by the local Masai tribesmen, when he was a boy. It proved to be a valuable lesson, as he incorporated his whistling skills into his music shows later in his life. His greatest whistling tunes are The Mexican whistler, The Finnish whistler, & Elizabethan serenade. He also recorded a ton of great songs with his wonderfully rich baritone voice, of which I'd highly recommend Durham Town, New world in the morning, The last farewell, & The Skye boat song. Enjoy!! 😃
Rumour has it that they're working on a "Difficult" (as in deliberately Difficult) album. Three projected tracks are - "The Four Horsemen","It's Only A Movie" and "Hocus Pocus".
REMINDS ME OF THE ClINSTER Back in 1967 My fav movie of all time .. The way Clint Moves the cigar in his mouth makes me laugh every time , And hes the KING of ALL Movie star Studs , PR0OVE ME WRONG
After numerous cancellations due to covid I finally got to see them at my local theatre only a couple of weeks ago and they are awesome,very talented and great fun to watch,and best of all back on tour again. Thank you for showing this band and keep up the great work you do for keeping music alive.Stay safe.
I saw them perform live in Palm Desert a couple of Christmases ago. They released sheet music beforehand so everyone in the audience could learn the songs and play along. It was a blast! This song, in particular is a showstopper.
So glad you've gotten onto these guys. The Uke Orchestra, brother Iz, and Joe Brown were the three main reasons I fell in love with the ukulele. Still love listening to ukulele music
Hey Jamel! A band I haven’t seen anyone react to is The Rippingtons. They’re an extremely underrated smooth jazz band who had their music played on The Weather Channel back in the day. A specific song I think you should react to is “Aspen” (Live in LA)
I love this orchestra, I love this song, and, I love their rendition ... I try and share this with everyone I know , who will listen, and several that I am unsure if they will.. But everyone should know this song, and how fun it can be to listen to this rendition ..
You are the first person on youtube to react to this great band 👍🏻❤️ Pinball wizard the theme from shaft in fact anything from them is worth reacting to I hope you do more reactions to them and start a trend 🇬🇧
I've mentioned this a couple times. If you want to hear the song that I would argue may be the best song EVER lyrically. Listen to Dobbie Gray "Drift Away" Doesn't matter what Genre of music is your thing. The chorus HAS to grab you where it counts. Keep great music alive! I so wish I could go back and hear all these again for the first time. Watching you is as close as I mat get to doing that. Thank you for your love of music!!!!!!!!!
They are SO good live, I've had the privilege to see them perform a number of times and it is always, always such a great time! If you haven't seen them already, I think you'd get a kick from Hayseed Dixie :)
FINALLY! An orchestral piece I could participate in - I've got that WAH-WAH-WAH down pat!!! LOL!! Thank you for introducing this group to your audience!

Have you done Bad Habits by Ed Sheeran yet?
I have all their music on my MP3 and computer.
Spread the Love! X
Now watch Shaft by the same folks, absolutely hysterical :)
Everything they do is unique. They do a great psycho killer, shaft or pinball wizard but can not go wrong with anything they do.
I was going to suggest the pinball wizard. Lol.
@@shilothompson1509 Their Pinball Wizard is great. Also, Wuthering Heights.
Yes, their version of Shaft is so hilarious :)
Psycho Killer. Can't miss with these folks !!
Their "anarchy in the UK" is hilarious too!
George Harrison would have loved this. He was obsessed with the ukulele. He carried a half dozen of them in his trunk. He said you never know when you might need a few. Not everyone has them around.

The Ukuele Orchestra of Great Brittan is one of the best things I discovered during lockdown. They are a riot.
i fell in the rabbit hole of the Ukulele Orchestra, i have become a huge fan... they are always amazing.
The ukulele makes people smile!
Love the variety of artists you react to, and thanks for the sanity you've brought my family over the last 18 months - we truly enjoy the positivity and enthusiasm of your messages and your videos
I have seen their cover of “SHAFT”. They are great.
📻🙂
They have a video where the audience brought their own uke's and there are like 10,000 people playing at once.
Cool reaction, these guys are so much fun to watch. Love their rendition of "You Don't Bring My Flowers".
Every time I watch the Ukulele Orchestra I smile. Combined with Jamal's reaction, I am now grinning from ear to ear!
Holy moly I never thought you’d do the great ukulele band! They have a bunch of cool covers. Shaft is a really good one too!
Seen 'em live. Hard to believe 6 ukeles and a geeeetarrr sound sound so brilliant. Everything they do is exceptional. Must see.
"Fly Off the Handel" , by these guys is amazing...several songs in one.
At last someone reacted to this group. They are fantastic. That is why you are the best
I love this group! They have a number of songs that they have done very well. Some of them are Theme From Shaft, Life On Mars (by David Bowie, with a few extra bits thrown in), I Can't Get No Satisfaction, and Car Wash (Rose Royce).
At 2.17 your face goes from apprehension to appreciation. Loved it
I’m seeing them live at Broadstairs, Kent (nr. London) next Friday. You should do a video for their cover of Slave to the Rhythm, Grace Jones. I think you will love it.
They do an unforgettable "Wuthering Heights" - you will not regret watching it.
Been obsessed with this one for a month now! About as long as I've been watching you. Another excellent one! Thank you for what you do.
The very fact that Jamel smiled all the way through this song just shows how great the tune and the orchestras interpretation of it truly is. You really have to do a reaction to the Shaft theme tune - you'll love it.
That was awesome!!!...glad you did this...never heard it before but I like it...thank you for all the music you play.
fantastic! showed their utter talent ..and had fun doing it. this is entertainment! thanks for sharing it!
Being at one of their live perfomances is definitely fun.

Thanks for adding some richness to my life!
This is the first time I've heard of The Ukulele Orchestra, let alone listened to The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly played on a ukulele. What a pleasant surprise. Very cool. Thanks for the introduction.
They are so talented. You need to hear them preform The Theme to Shaft
I love jonty hes a whistling master!
There is a winter ukelele festival near me -I discovered it 3 yrs ago. Wow I was amazed at the musicality of their performances! What a total enjoyment.
This song is my childhood Bro, when I was waiting for nap time to watch cowboy movies with my brothers, I have tears escaping this moment, thank you
You should check out more of their performances they’re a very talented group of people 🙏
My fave cover band! So glad you found the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain. The theme from Shaft, Wuthering Heights, Highway To Hell are all worth checking out. But their medley (of sorts) Fly Me Off The Handel is genius!
About time! The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain is a World Public Treasure. So much music, so much talent, so much self-defacing humour.
Stumbling on them on RUclips inspired me to take up the Uke and 3 years on and I still pick it up everyday. Just having a strum helps get me through rough patches.
So glad you reacted to this!

This never gets old! Keep reacting, sir! You're doing great work!
Omg Jamel, I can't believe you brought it, one of MY FAVORITE GROUPS. They are so good, so funny, Thank You SO MUCH, just made my day!
That was so good. Love the music and the talent.
Daaaannnggg, brother! That was awesome! And yes, a sense of humor is important. Too many people, these days, never learned that.
Such fun and such talent! Thanks Jamel.❤️
I'm so glad you did this video. I loved this performance
Makes me want to rewatch the man with no name trilogy.
Yes, I also and always have that big smile on my face when I see and hear them. .-)
That's some wild and crazy shit! Thanks for the introduction!
One of the best instrumentals is watch Roy Clark when he was on the Odd Couple Show.
Glad you like them. And if you like Jonty's whistling skills, you should hear him whistling Bach ! :)
That was like watching a fine oiled machine running. I enjoyed that Jamel! All those spaghetti westerns and Clint Eastwood movies music come to life. That was fun! ❤️💜💚
They also do a cover of 'The Theme From Shaft'......some AC/DC.....all sorts of stuff. The little dude on the far left is my favorite. He let's his hair down like a wild man in some of their videos.

Einem Dank mit Tränen in den Augen! A thanks with tears in the eyes!

You gotta check out their version of 'The theme from Shaft'!!
Fabulous musicianship, & a ton of humour thrown in, just for fun!! 🤣

We just witnessed true music talent. Thanks for the reaction
Couldn’t hit the like button fast enough. I love these guys !!!!
Well nicely d Man just passing by from Sweden 🇸🇪.Have a good day.
They did a great version of Silver Machine by Hawkwind, which was recorded during lockdown.
So glad you've gotten onto these guys. The Uke Orchestra, brother Iz, and Joe Brown were the three main reasons I fell in love with the ukulele. Still love listening to ukulele music
You should watch all the videos they did during the covid lockdown. They genuinely love what they do, and it shows, and they are so clever and funny!
Great talent and just dang fun! Thank you!

That was amazing!! Totally out of the box :-)
It has been awhile since I've seen this , Thanks
Check out their version of Psycho Killer!
I've been subbed to them for a few years now. They're really excellent.
You must look out the UOGB at the Cambridge Folk Festival performing their take on the theme from Shaft !
You are the first person on youtube to react to this great band 👍🏻❤️
Pinball wizard the theme from shaft in fact anything from them is worth reacting to I hope you do more reactions to them and start a trend 🇬🇧
True musicians......making Clint proud.....
Been asking since before covid....Roy Buchanan live Austin tx Royz blues....will blow you away.
Totally amazing a Big Thank You for this
Thanks for sharing. And I mean that
Check out the traveling mccoury's. Del is 82, ripping and still touring.
Too cool!! What a wonderful orchestra. I will have to check them out. Highly recommend you react to The Shadows, Apache. It is an instrumental.
Yea, that was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing that one.
My fav of theirs is pinball wizard - it’s so fun.
these guys are great, you should check out more of their stuff Jamel... not even to react to, just because it is fun!
That was amazing. Thanks for sharing
They're actually the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain.
Oops. You said it right in the intro.
They're really more of a musical/comedy act. They used to play comedy festivals more than music festivals.
You really need to see Austin Browns cover of unchained melody, video says it's six months old, like you would expect he knocked it out of the park.
I've mentioned this a couple times. If you want to hear the song that I would argue may be the best song EVER lyrically. Listen to Dobbie Gray "Drift Away" Doesn't matter what Genre of music is your thing. The chorus HAS to grab you where it counts. Keep great music alive! I so wish I could go back and hear all these again for the first time. Watching you is as close as I mat get to doing that. Thank you for your love of music!!!!!!!!!
That was awesome I’ll never watch the movie with out that version of the song in my mind lol love it
They're a great group of musicians. You must check out their cover of Issac Hayes Shaft theme.
They're amazing!
They are SO good live, I've had the privilege to see them perform a number of times and it is always, always such a great time!
If you haven't seen them already, I think you'd get a kick from Hayseed Dixie :)
Clint Eastwood is my spirit animal!
They do an amazing performance of "Orange Blossom Special", also.
But this cover and the cover for "Shaft" are my favorites.
wow, this is excellent! Who would have thought,,, Ukulele's?!
Gonna throw my vote in for Melange by the Ukulele Orchestra. Never heard so many songs done so well at once!
FINALLY! An orchestral piece I could participate in - I've got that WAH-WAH-WAH down pat!!! LOL!! Thank you for introducing this group to your audience!
So cool! Check out their version of "Shaft"
That was great. Thanks for the reaction Jamel. 👍🎶
