see the cover is like good and all and i respect it

but ukulele covers are just SO reductive in nature to me and especially with a band like radiohaed

I'm not a fan of Radiohead by any stretch of the word
but I'll probably give this a spin

It's good because it undermines the intricacy of the songs?

Yeah, that was actually pretty cool. I remember watching a video of her performing "Fake Plastic Trees" on the ukelele, I thought it was complete crap. I'll have to relisten to it, because that was promising.

Tiny Tim was the reason I wanted to learn Uke.

Actual Uke players and stupid high schoolers are the reason why it's the worst instrument ever.

This is one of the worst ideas I've heard of in a long time.

The song WAS decent, but just because of the piano and the fact that it's already an awesome song. The inclusion of the ukelele did nothing but make this a lot harder to listen to.

lol just appreciate the song for what it is dude. Radiohead are brilliant songwriters- you can cover their songs in all kinds of stripped down ways and it still shows.

Its annoying that she's going to be doing it on Ukelele. I think Amanda is awesome but ukelele is the worst instrument going.
It would sound better on triangle!
