Not sure how news-worthy this is or not, but Alan Brandt of my local radio station 90.5 WUOL in Louisville, KY covered Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want on the ukulele. Pretty decent cover actually.

Louisville’s 90.5 WUOL plays The Smiths on the Ukulele - Backseat Sandbar

Alan Brandt of 90.5 WUOL, the Louisville classical sister station to 91.9 WFPK, has created a great and yet terribly absurd video presentation of himself performing “Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want” by the Smiths on the ukulele. A great instrument plus one of the greatest songs by one of the greatest bands…equals…something

  • The 'Blair Smith Project' ruins it.

  • Check out the top right corner of the vending machine. Golden Lights...displaying its name. He should have selected that one...

  • ...after that other band's horrible rendition of "I Won't Share You" - you'd figure that content selection/filtering for this site would be slightly modified for the good of humanity... this, my friends, is horrible. What next? Somebody playing "Stop Me..." with their armpit? Better yet, I hope somebody lipsyncs to a horrible cover of a cover of something like "There is a Light" or "I know it's Over."

    Everybody's an artist nowadays, right? Nothing is sacred.

    . . .and if I ever wanted to cry, then I will because I can.
  • Ukulele is such a great sounding instrument. That rendition sounds great especially the instrumental piece at the the end.

    Also well spotted with the Golden Lights....

  • The Old Line Skiffle Combo has been doing Please Please Please on ukulele for several years now...it seemed very imaginative at the time
