I don't know. I remember a few years ago I saw a Ukulele Orchestra or something playing Smells Like Teen Spirit on Jools Holland, complete with singing. It really was one of the most horrible moments of my entire life.

Oh man,
check this guy out:

http://www.ukulelejames.com/videos.htm

watch these videos, his hands move like a machine!!

Incredible stuff.

I play a bit of ukulele myself. I live in Canada but while in Australia I picked up a sweet little electric acoustic 'sanchez' solid top saprano with a nice case; I'm pretty happy with it all.
I'm always trying to find jack jonshon ukulele chords or tabs for anything other than 'breakdown'...something like 'dreams' would be nice. People say you just take the guitar chords but that doesn't always work.

www.chordie.com

If you go on a song with that, you'll on the right hand side there's a dropdown box, saying that's for guitar... if you look at the options, it's got the option for uke (in C or D tuning), whereby it shows you alongside the tab how to play all the chords on a uke. It works, the uke player in my band uses it all the time.

If you play the uke, check out Jake Shimabukuro.

Here's a sample.
