Fun video! The grass skirt and hip movements is pretty good. It does not blur, you can see the grass strands moving. that's pretty great

Amazing! I started learning Ukulele because of him! Now I have around six ukes at home. My 17 years old granddaughter started playing it around 10, and can play any song with it, even complex chords.

Fine tribute. His is a great version of the song, though not my favourite. This may well be that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rd8VktT8xY
