Do you mind to get in business? To hire some smart hackers to use my FB contacts and spam them all with this Shaft magic potion? Somebody reported me on FB to freeze the sharing buttons, some idiots just can not find better things to do, sharing too much fun is ... outrageous, scandalous, outlaw, unforgivable, are you kidding me? Shaft
George! He's on hiatus at the moment (Feb, 2020). Word on the street is that George has been spotted lounging around a tiki bar, wearing a weathered straw hat, on a sandy beach in a sunny clime somewhere far-far-away. He continues to be the group's musical director.
I'll never grow old of the original but if you are looking for a cover as a uke player or as a fan of 'The Cure', then this passionate group of musicians cook up a performance of fun and energy.
Absolutely brilliant. What amazing sounds they get out of those tiny instruments. They are all musical genius's. Well done---wish they would tour Australia!
The next time they do a poll of the "Greatest Songs Ever" this is going to get my vote purely because the first time i heard it my eyes cried so much and i smiled wider than i have done in a long time !! UOoGB is the best. Thank you xx
Sione Aleki would be so proud for this one! thank you thank you thank yoy, such a great orches-rta! ( some people think uke is a toy, BUTT having three Hartwood Tenors it is a real instrument! luv from Kimmo : )
I'm a black man from the 70s and I approve this message.
ME TOO BROTHA👏👏👏👏
🤣👍
Dam Shame Issac Hayes never sang with them.
Issac Hayes would have LOVED this!
I'm from Buffalo New York and I must say, "I REALLY ENJOYED LISTENING and WATCHING THAT."
I'm not watching this !!
Bloody ukeleles !!
I watched it .
Utterly utterly BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!
These guys just need to do one song to win over any audience, they are fantastic.

Look at that audience full of people who actually remember Shaft! Cool! I'm one, too.
Who knew ukes could do R&B/Soul music?!
Woh
I saw Shaft at the Drive in, remember those 😃
this is - why we all love GREAT BRITAIN ! greetings from germany.
Genau!!!
@@MsLemonPeach That's one of many things, why we like the Brits. I'm so sad about Brexit.
Seconded. Greetings from Texas!
To this very day, these folks make me smile! Absolutely ludicrous, and full of talented mayhem!😂
The Shaft soundtrack was, in my opinion, Isaac Hayes' best work. It was fun to hear it done this way. Nice work.
Imagining Isaac Hayes collaborating with the UKOGB with this. It would be fun. Pity Isaac has passed away.
What the English do best - being mildly bonkers. 10/10
The world needs a little more bonkerishness. Yay for keeping it going, folks!
Mildly?
Why didn't they take it to 11?
@@lawrencetaylor4101 they did
I represent that remark! Booking Fonkers! :-)
WOW! Loved this version and leave it to the Brits to add a dab of comedy. Good job.
Its adorable to see Brits with SOUL
It was never in doubt.
Absolutely Delightful!!!❤️❤️❤️
I think Issac Hayes would be proud !
Lead vocals are excellent. Love it when it clicked with the audience.
I believe Isaac Hayes would have loved this
Yes! Absolutely.
You know he would. I do!
well THAT was AWWSOME. I've had the theme from shaft running thru my head for about a week now. still awesome.
The lead singer/ukulelist(?) is a really funky fella with alot of soul.
I just love his "rapping" and his quips while he sings.
George! He's on hiatus at the moment (Feb, 2020).

@@mcscrooge4542 oh I would be so so happy for him. One of the kindest I have met ..Me,.big fan of all of them here in München/Germany
I’m a yank, and I was in junior high when Shaft was released. This was brilliant.
These people are brilliant! (even from fourteen years ago!)
Things you didn't know you needed but are glad you received.
Thank you to whoever wrote the algorithm that dropped this in my feed. Brilliant
I'll never grow old of the original but if you are looking for a cover as a uke player or as a fan of 'The Cure', then this passionate group of musicians cook up a performance of fun and energy.
“Right on brother” ✊🏻😎🇬🇧
Still a FAVOURITE in February 2021 😍😍😍
I am from Illinois and I like you music !!
ONLY one word says it all BRILLIANT!!! 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊😁😅😀😄😃
I loved the way the audience reacted. They look so pristine with their smiles
THIS JUST BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY!!
I used to think the Ukulele was limited to certain types of melodies. Not so after viewing the above -- wonderful!
That's what I thought before, but since taking up tha ukulele, it's really an adaptable little instrument.
The theme from `SHAFT` on a ukulele?? Who would have ever imagined it?? And it is pretty good.
TRULY ENTERTAINING and TRULY INCREDIBLE ... !!!
These guys are hilarious and also very talented as a band.
I'm back again for another listen to your version of shaft. LOVE YOUR GROUP 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
How are you doing today my name is Eric moore
Absolutely brilliant.
What amazing sounds they get out of those tiny instruments.
They are all musical genius's.
Well done---wish they would tour Australia!
Having seen The Ukes in concert 3 or 4 times, IMO this is their very best number! 😎
It’s definitely the most uninterrupted - by comedic performance, as good as they are
Hey, your Majesty! These people should all be Knighted!
When the band is having fun , you have a HIT!!!
I never tire of watching this
Loved EVERY second of this, lol.
Bravo! Isaac Hayes is smiling t you somewhere.
The next time they do a poll of the "Greatest Songs Ever" this is going to get my vote purely because the first time i heard it my eyes cried so much and i smiled wider than i have done in a long time !! UOoGB is the best. Thank you xx
Nowhere but in Britain! ❤️
Beautiful performance.
(from Bolivia) oh my god ! White people with Funk . Glad to see 1 world / one united culture in music. AMEN
What's it got to do with being white ....funny how racists always mention colour
You need to look up the band Rare Earth.
Or the Average White Band...
@@lisarainbow9703to busy picking up the pieces
@@animaltvi9515 I see what you did there, lol...
Pardon me while I Cut the Cake...😁
That makes me laugh every single time I watch it! You guys are perfect in almost every way!
C'est une pure merveille, avec de l'humour et de la décontraction !Vive le Ukulele ORchestra of GB .
Dat bass so awesome in this music!!
I would LOVE to see them play live...but I'm a long way away from the UK. Maybe when travelling is after and less complicated 🤞
Energetic, lively, Great performance. A great orchestra.
I enjoyed this and glad it's on RUclips! Both thumbs way up. Hilarious
This may be one of the single greatest videos I've ever seen. Ever.
A very faithful rendering of a classic. Could barely tell the difference from the original
Que MARAVILHA! Thanks for sharing. 😀
In one word, they are ACE. Theres blatant comedy there with the obvious talent that they have as well, and I always like listening to them :)
The range of pieces they cover is so impressive!
There is no music left. I have now heard everything.
Guaranteed to bring a smile 😄
That was AWESOME. Great job, great sound, toe-tappin', clappin' Great! Loved it.
Whìte peoples be feeling the funk.......right on right on. It's all good. Funk is for everyone ❤❤❤
But you still had to be racist about it.
Brilliant musically and a laugh to boot.🇬🇧❤
Yeah! They sound good!!!! 👊🏾
How are you doing today my name is Eric moore
Fantastic
And they are all sitting in chairs. I wish I was too... this has taken on such enlightenment since the last time i saw it. three/four/five stars!
I learned to play the Shaft bass riff from this video.
Clever lads, very well done including the additional lyrics.
That was insane, fabulous!
A million times thumbs up!
When music is fun , music is great !
I love these guys! They are ukulele rocks stars! Watch all their stuff.
Awesome! Original, fresh and hilarious take on a classic. Top entertainment value! Quintessential British humour.
First thing on my own it's got to be these guys and ladies, wo wonderful to listen too.
AWESOME!!! Such GREAT talent & entertaining entertainment. 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😁😁😁😁
If they ever do another Shaft film, they need to work this into the script.
A great funky tune performed in a so brilliant way....don't stop playing the ukulele, UOGB!!!!!! I fell lin love with this marvellous musicians
This is just GOLD!
I am soooo inspired to learn how to play ukulele. I can feel all the pure joys they bring upon the audience and themselves.
"Music connects people" !
Their Uke's are small...but they are great!!!
:))
I love the applause from audience . They entertain everyone in a good rythm
......and the smiles. They are genuine
Sensacional, maravilhosos...
Comedy and music. Cool adaptation.
The bass line is iconic.
Magic, cheers me up every time x
An utter joy to watch .. bravo

Wow!!! As a fellow string player .....NICE.

only the English could come up with something like this
Of course. It would be the Ukulele Orchestra of somewhere else otherwise.

Can you dig it?
WHy yes I can
