Jake Shimabukuro and his ukulele version of a Beatles classic


14-year old interviews John Lennon




  1. Floyd says:

    Every day is Beatles Day since they first made their appearance in the US in 1964. Why would this day be any different?

  2. The Monster's Lawyer says:

    Jake Shimabukuro and his ukulele version of a Beatles classic is better than George himself.
    I believe Mr. Harrison would approve.

  3. BilliamJ says:

    Definitely one of the cooler versions of the sng out there.

  4. Deep-Thought says:

    The animation the John Lennon interview is insanely great

  5. Jess Hurchist says:

    #1 Floyd, I doubt that I’m the only greying Brit who would say it began a good year earlier.
    Personally I’d say January 1963 with the release of ‘Please Please Me’, although I wouldn’t disagree too much with anyone who wanted to go back to the release of ‘Love me do’ the previous October.

    And for the nit-pickers I know ‘My Bonnie’ came out before that but it didn’t make any impression on me then or later.

  6. cheapdaddy says:

    Nice rendition, but on a ukelele? Something is just not right.
    Here’s hoping Mr Shimabukuro doesn’t run afoul of the intellectual property Nazis. I call Fair Use. He was in a public place and it was captured on You-biqui-Tube.

    The best version I’ve heard was played in a T-station on a violin.

    Not the Beatles but British Ukuleleists
