My favourite ukelele artist is a fellow by the name of Doug Nagy. He has his own blog (www.dougnagy.com) and there are some ukelele references. He had a uke custom made and it's killer. Go to his old label's site (www.room101.net/dougnagy) for some samples. Best songs? 'She-Hulk Boy', 'Christmas Time In Brazil' and 'Rally Beach'. He's a comic genius.

The Radical Dudez, "Ukulele." Does not win the competition for most creative title but certainly takes it for most lovably awkward.

They've used it a lot elsewhere too ("Tahiti Treat," "Breakin' Hearts," etc.).
