I went to the Sibelius Hall concert with positive, cheerful expectations. I came out completely amazed!. - And I had with me my mother and my auntie, both ladies in their seventies, both as overwhelmingly satisfied. Ukulele-Finlandia is something one does not hear very often. You certainly took this audience. Thank you, boys and girls!
I have seen them live. They're so much fun. It's a fantastically harmonic version of the song. Essentially the original has virtually no harmonic and just lots of energy. They're brill :-)
Step outside the box folks. This is a great tribute to KC and an honor. You should be so lucky to have one of your songs covered by a band outside your genre.
Who said that homeworks can't be fun? Never thought I'd see a cover of this song by a half-dozen ukulele band but here I am with a smile on my face. Kudos
Cara, ficou muito bom mesmo. Muito talento e criatividade, fazer cover não é qualquer coisa, bom é quando um cover tem identidade. O cover não tem o intuito de superar o original e sim fazer uma releitura...
I liked this very much, some of the comments seem to me from people who cannot get there head around listening to a Ukulele group who are doing there thing, they are not trying to be better than the original versions they are only doing what they are enjoying & I like there sound, in fact they are doing the original versions justice..
oh. how i love being a Brit, inovation, irreverence, always pushing the boundaries, a slave to no one, cheeky, humerous, never a slave, always embracing great ideas, never satisfied, always looking for something new and exciting, loving our history but not trapped in it, loving God but knowing we made him in our image so that we could excell the angels of our imagination., music can set youi free !!
Hahaha! I didn't know how to take it at first, but it's actually very entertaining! I'm a die hard nirvana fan, I think Cobain would've appreciated the humor in this homage, I mean he must have had the same humor when writing the song because every lyric is basically a contradiction, he just wanted to express it in a rock n roll in your face with a can of mace lol those who dislike it, I can't understand, respect a comical homage, I'm sure you enjoyed weird Al's song
Erg Budster then nobody should do comedy, comedians joke about everything (death,war, god, diseases), thats what they do and everybody keep laughing at them do you ever watch conan o'brian ? ibet you dont like conan either ? i love the song and kurt he was great guy i bet he would like this version too .
That's exactly what they are - a novelty group. Having said that, they're very talented musicians, even though they play reasonably simple music in this particular video.
awesome awesome awesome! but what is this libido mis-pronunciation thing? that's how they pronounce it over there? that said, i LOVE that he gets the first lines in each verse just a wee bit flat JUST like cobain did - always bugged me that cobain slurred those notes, but now that its so iconic, i think i love it in this cover. the facial expressions were amazing - he just needed to be in a smoking jacket with a scotch on the rocks in one hand to go all out.
Also, forgot to say that I could never understand what Kurt was singing - hear Weird Al Yankovitz's parody to see what I mean - whereas here I can understand and hear every word - even if his singing upsets some.
How can anybody have clicked "dislike"?! I was laughing 'til I cried. I saw The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain at Salisbury (UK) a couple of months ago. My split sides still haven't recovered. All you people who clicked "dislike" should lighten up and go see them A.S.A.P. before you follow in the sad footsteps of Kurt Cobain. They say laughter is good for you; try it!

I’ll say one thing. This is the first time I ever understood the lyrics to this song. Thank you.
The comedy of this performance is undermined by the quality of it. The harmonies are too awesome for the satire to come through.
I'm a massive fan of Nirvana, and this one is a classic, but I wasn't insulted by this, neither would Kurt be, it was hilarious, nice job guys!
Man, when you play an instrument and you play Nirvana, it's awesome!
This ain't a cover, this is the original....
Nobody has found out until now....
Michael B xD yesss
Russia caused this.
Whoosh....
@@marcelogomez4745 relex mate. He just joking....
@@marcelogomez4745 You really didn't understand that he was joking ? Before you write something on internet, I suggest you think for one moment.
i love how they're sort of mocking it while also paying homage to it...pretty awesome, probably the greatest thing ive ever seen!
talented musicians all around, and yes, when you can play it you will have fun and pay homage.
It is both mocking it AND respecting it. It is absolutely extraordinary.
These guys came to my college once for a concert. It was such a good time.

This is the best cover of a Nirvana song I've ever heard.
Love this version. There aren't many good covers of this song. This eye-winking version rocks.
Oh my God, this is so impressive! I hope after (?) the pandemic you come to Germany, please! I'd be there first row.

Hands down one of the funniest things Ive seen in ages .... these are real legends
At least now I can understand the words.
Vel Yogendra What a great comment, LOL, thanks, you made my day. Thanks so much!!!
Vel Yogendra Except he gets the chorus wrong, it's "a mosquito, my libido"
senordd I think that's what he's saying; he's just pronouncing it the British way.
edarem I think he was just being 'funny' ;)
It's pronounced li-BEE-do" in the UK as well. Not li-BY-do.
8 years later i still love it
the long hair guy headbangin'
brilliant - irreverent, outrageous and fun. Could watch these guys for ever1!!!
You guys are my favorites ! You are cool and you have class, character, and totally awesome!!!
Step outside the box folks. This is a great tribute to KC and an honor. You should be so lucky to have one of your songs covered by a band outside your genre.
The Guy on the left end is amazing
With this video my life is a little closer to being complete. Truly a masterpiece!
I got to see them live... It was amazing
I very much enjoyed how he sang the chorus.
Much respect to the vocals.
And the entire preformace on the ukuleles was very nice altogether as well. :)
I never imagined this song could sound so good on ukuleles :D amazing
Never thought I'd find myself head banging and laughing on Ukulele, well done guys !
I cant stop watching this! you guys are awesome.
I love the fact that you can understand the lyrics. This is pretty much the first time I understand the song. OH NIRVANA, YOU SO CRAZY!
Will always love them for this cover!
Who said that homeworks can't be fun? Never thought I'd see a cover of this song by a half-dozen ukulele band but here I am with a smile on my face. Kudos
the guy on the left is so into it xD
His singing an his voice is the reason i like this song.
Cara, ficou muito bom mesmo. Muito talento e criatividade, fazer cover não é qualquer coisa, bom é quando um cover tem identidade. O cover não tem o intuito de superar o original e sim fazer uma releitura...
that was stellar! probably the best weird nirvana cover ever! kudos to these guys, i was thoroughly entertained.
Kurt would love this for sure, definitely one of best pieces melody wise, though still, very very strange to see it and listen to it.
I fuckin loveít them all!
I never tire of this ❤
This is the one and only video that inspired me to buy and learn to play the ukulele!
Easily the greatest Smells Like Teen Spirit, they incorporated their own style to such an amazing song! I think Kurt would've love this!
Brilliant take on it! Love what these guys do....
the chorus killed me.
lee-by-doe not libido
Melhor versão 👏👏
this song is so addicting and... contagious.
Well, I'm here now, and they entertained us...
It’s pretty stupid though.
I liked this very much, some of the comments seem to me from people who cannot get there head around listening to a Ukulele group who are doing there thing, they are not trying to be better than the original versions they are only doing what they are enjoying & I like there sound, in fact they are doing the original versions justice..
best... cover... ever...
Stfu 😂
Funny and genious interpretation. Congratulations.
Great voice!
I began listening to this music without watching the video, and it rocks. The singer is very good, and the ukelele has the right sound.
The guy on the very left is probably drivin'&rockin' the most ^^
He comperes at Glastonbury every year.
Absolutely brilliant.

This is the best thing on the Internet
Its 3:37am my girlfriend just woke up next to me "why you still up?...what you listening to?"
my response: "I really don't know..."
10 years later and still rocks the house
Omg this was on my Ukelele website I used when I was in grade 4!
love their sense of humor, I couldn't stop laughing! very good musicians indeed
So, THAT'S what Nirvana was singing.
yep, the secret`s finally out.
That one guy with the neatly tied hair doing a hair flip 🤣😂😭
Only in Great Britain....
Weird Al would disagree. Mostly in GB though.
These guys and girls are great, fantastic sound.
These folks are amazing, check out the other things they have done...
Saw this live recently - fantastic!!!
Never have I been so confused as to what to feel for something. I think someone divided by zero and this came out.
i saw them live, this was the finale, it was AMAZING!
*before I watch the video* Why do I feel like this is going to be epic!!!
*after video*Yep I was soooo damn right this is EPICOSITY!
Hahaha! I didn't know how to take it at first, but it's actually very entertaining! I'm a die hard nirvana fan, I think Cobain would've appreciated the humor in this homage, I mean he must have had the same humor when writing the song because every lyric is basically a contradiction, he just wanted to express it in a rock n roll in your face with a can of mace lol those who dislike it, I can't understand, respect a comical homage, I'm sure you enjoyed weird Al's song
is that alec baldwin
+Alyers Imitating Patrick Warburton.
Can't wait to see them again.
its just a comedy why everbody thinks thats a serious cover :(
and i think its pretty good :)
+Furkan “GOJUCU” Çetinkaya It IS good. Oddly, even though they are at the other end of the musical spectrum, I feel like they "get" the song.
Um. Because we love the song and expect some bit of respect even though it's clearly a satire?
Erg Budster then nobody should do comedy, comedians joke about everything (death,war, god, diseases), thats what they do and everybody keep laughing at them do you ever watch conan o'brian ? ibet you dont like conan either ? i love the song and kurt he was great guy i bet he would like this version too .
+Erg Budster This is respect. Have you ever noticed that they don't cover bad songs?
Grow up LOL
I love this! The ukulele is so fun, my favorite instrument.
This is so hilarious
The most entertaining music performance EVER!
So goofy, it's lovely :)
That's exactly what they are - a novelty group. Having said that, they're very talented musicians, even though they play reasonably simple music in this particular video.
Awesome and flippin' clever LoL
love it on every possible level
Kurt Cobain would not care because he absolutely hated smells like teen spirit and messed it up on purpose...
Gerald Paul Gibson He didn't hate it, he just got fed up with it.
MONSTROSSSSSSSSSSS. Que Maravilha de versao. Estao de Parabens...
What a hilarious massacre!
Superb version
awesome awesome awesome! but what is this libido mis-pronunciation thing? that's how they pronounce it over there? that said, i LOVE that he gets the first lines in each verse just a wee bit flat JUST like cobain did - always bugged me that cobain slurred those notes, but now that its so iconic, i think i love it in this cover. the facial expressions were amazing - he just needed to be in a smoking jacket with a scotch on the rocks in one hand to go all out.
It sounds better when it is slightly out of key.
You guys are great!!!
This is awesome...too bad for the commentators who don't get it.
Made my day... I've just failed my statics exams, then I found it... fantastic!! :D:DD
Statics? You had an exam on snow and white noise from TV/telly and radio? :)
Joe Swanson can play the ukulele?
Hahahahahaha
Very, Very Good. Thanks too much, from Brasil.
It's ment to be a joke the audience wouldn't be laughing if it was a real cover its ment to be bad the uke is good tho
This is better than it seems; man sings a million dollars.
Also, forgot to say that I could never understand what Kurt was singing - hear Weird Al Yankovitz's parody to see what I mean - whereas here I can understand and hear every word - even if his singing upsets some.
This is wonderful. The song endures all tributes,satires and put downs. Thank you for posting this. thank you thank you thank you. Great song...
