Found this by perusing Crooked Timber. Had never heard of them and now wonder why. They are funny, talented, don’t take themselves seriously at all, and their eccentricity seems well earned. Simply put, they make us smile …
So, without further ado, I present The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain!!!

The following is their finale, and it includes a remarkable composition based upon a piece by Handel, resulting in a surprising synchronicity of modern tunes following a classical frame.
