I've said it once and I'll say it again! This is exactly what we need in this time of crisis!
Thank you! So glad we are able to keep everyone's spirits up during this time.
Yes we conform to the rules and take all the precautions but at one point you just want to explode hear inFrance are government has given us 0 masks 0 gloves alcoholic solution after 2 months in lockdown they have driven as crazy I refrain from swearing on this public platform with great difficulty
@@oliviaginsbourg6541 At least you're in France...
@@randomvielleuse527 THANK U
This guy can sing. I'm sure there many underserved and underestimated artists out there. Here one...
This isn't Crazy, this is EPIC!
Big Respect!
Give these nice, talented people the Medal of Good Britishness.
This is one of the song of the last 40 years!
Thank you all for signing a CD for my Father In Law, who has dementia, a few years ago at De Monfort Hall, Leicestershire a few years ago.
He still tries to play his ukulele during his illness and you bring happiness to his life, and ours.

Is it possible to give a thumbs up everytime I watch this?
OMG I'm in Canada and just discovered this, bloody BRILLIANT
This is so brilliant! I love this rendition even more than I like the original song, and I really love Gnarls Barkley's music. The uke playing was so creative and interesting, the background harmonies were great, and your singer really made such a fun take on the vocals! 10/10. I am a fan!
I am going to see them on SAturday in Deal, UK. Third time my wife and I have seen them. Never get tired of them.
I came here because of ukulele, but that’s actually the first time i’ve paid attention to the lyrics of this song. Great perfomance, many thanks♥️
You guys have no idea how you have saved my sanity and revived my love of music 🥰
The best band ever just great and thanks for going to the effort in making these all of you
This should be on Spotify, iTunes, etc.❤
Thank you from fabulous Jersey City, NJ!
Could you please play your fantastic version of "Heroes", for all those people the world over, working to keep us safe, those who keep things moving, the electricity, gas and water flowing and those still working in shops, factories, warehouses, the delivery drivers, postmen and women. All making sure we can all have food and drink in these worrying times. And for all the people, paid or unpaid, helping those most at risk. Heroes one and all. 😷 🤕 🤒 🚑 🚒 🚜 🚛 ⛽ 🚕 >>>>> 👏 👏 👍
I having been wishing and hoping for this one too :)))
It's my favourite of all the songs they perform

I haven't watched this in months, since I was only leaving the house once a week for essentials. Back then I was going a little (very very little) bit crazy. These videos were helping, sometimes by pulling the stopper on bottled emotions. Well, as I watched this today, the tears were rolling down my cheeks again.
Thank you for tuning in each week to watch us, we are so pleased that we were able to help during those isolating times Ron. It has been a strange and crazy time and making these videos helped us too! Take care x
Lock down in Australia in 2020 is a pleasure when I can jump on UA-cam and catch up with your wonderful group. Stay safe and please keep sharing 😍😍😍
i was just playing my uke and this suddenly shows up in my recomendations slighty worried youtube/google is spying on me BUT so grateful for this omg its awesome!!!
Great idea!! Went out and bought some fine English beers for this ! Mark in Milwaukee USA
i dont know but videos like this just hype up the music nerd in me 💗💗 i really loved the guy's singing voice !!!
I didn’t know I needed to see a bunch of old guys in suits playing ukuleles, but I very much needed to see old guys in suits playing ukuleles.
Had to listen to this on replay, 'cause the time was not right for me. I think the whole world is a bit crazy right now, but all of you are helping
us to have the time of our lives as we listen to you play and sing. Thank you so much. :-)
Too many distractions taking our time .
I love how the one guy always has his toilet paper with him, laughing my head off as I just imagine that he is scared someone nicks them when he isn't looking... That aside, these musical vids are fantastic, just bring a smile to my face :)
He's a bass player. What do you expect? 😂🤣😂🤣❤
I'm guessing it's a reference to the panic buying of toilet paper and eventually many other products during this COVID-19 pandemic. Maybe this didn't happen in your country but it sure did in the US and Australia where I live. Only just returned to regular supply on the shelves in the past 2 weeks!
Just superb - interesting touch the toilet rolls on the purple sofa!
The high note put a big smile on my mush,Class
Can't wait to to see the development on Will's moustache!
Hello! This is so good! I actually saw you live in Sundsvall, Sweden in March (performing this amazing song, among all the other amazing songs) and I had intended to buy a CD and have it autographed by you. I usually feel rather silly doing that, but for you I have turned in to such a fan girl, for once it doesn't seem to matter that I am married and have children, owning my own house and is all grown up. But after the show everything was sold out and when some of you were out there I was talking to my friends and when I finally saw you you were on your way out, and I didn't have a chance to stop you! I felt like I really missed something, and I really wanted to tell you this, so here it goes instead:
I think you are really amazing! Listening to you all play your ukuleles in the most marvelous way even made me and some of my friends buy our own ukuleles (cheap ones, but still) and have a go at it ourselves. We didn't get that good, lack of time but definitely not lack of interest, but we did manage to play a few songs at some friends wedding, one of them being your version of "You don't bring me flowers". And we even nailed it, with all the running around and everything! (Maybe not the best lyrics for a wedding, but never mind that.) I don't think anyone in the audience had any idea what was going on, and during the rehearsal before the party one guy in the catering staff who studied music said he had never seen anything like it before, but we had so much fun doing it! (I was hoping for it at the show, it would have been great to see it live, but I guess UA-cam will have to do).
And I really wanted to tell you all this in person after the show in Sundsvall. And tell you how amazing it was to finally get to see you live, I have been wanting that for almost 15 years. And I wanted to tell you what an impact you made all those years ago when I first saw you on UA-cam! Thank you for all of that!

The best thing coming to brighten up our day yipee 😃 regards to all and thank you for doing this. Gill
Thank you Gillian. We have really enjoyed making these videos!
Thanks for lifting our spirits during these crazy times
The quality of these videos are unbelievable! I was also impressed hearing each instrument very clearly including the bass. Keep up the great work.
If this doesn't make your day, nothing will.
One of my dad's favorite songs. He would have loved this version too. Great to see George in the video and thank you to the whole orchestra for another brilliant performance xxx
These folks are soooo awesome. I’d love to be in a band like that... all playing diff parts and being part of a uke gang! Woot!
TBH it's more about 8 talented people than ukes !!
Yes... that’s why I started my note w... “these FOLKS are soooo awesome...” 🌺
Ah, yes. A Uke gang, riding scooters and terrorizing piccolos, standing up to cellos. Badass. I like it!
Will, your ukulele lockdown rocked the house here! Thanks so much😊🌟
Best Version ever. Respect
Wieder ein tolles Video, VIELEN DANK! Ich bin jedesmal begeistert, ALLES GUTE für euch und bleibt gesund! 1000 x 👍 und Beste Grüße aus Germany! Micha
crazy nerd stats ...i just found out that the are 24 songs titled Crazy that have their own wikipedia page and a further 24 songs which are mentioned on other pages. I hope its my fave lol.
yep my fave :))) its crazy how you can produce such wonderful music delights seem so effortless, these vids show the depth of virtuosity the is in the orchestra. 34 years and still simply fresh and awesome - Thank you .
Hehe.. I was expecting some other song named crazy . But ofcourse this one is also good.
This is the Crazy that came to mind when I read the title!
Me too! I was wondering, would it be Patsy Cline's, or Seal's, or Gnarls Barkley, or some other tune with this name?
Turned out to be Gnarls Barkley.
So sorry we will miss their performance in Tallahassee, FL but hope they can reschedule. Thank you for this!
Happy to find out that Jonty didn't get out of loo rolls yet and even the happier to see George again. Thank you for your videos
I scored a 4-pack of TP. Don't really need it, I have a bidet. It's now part of my retirement portfolio.
Did people go crazy over toilet paper all over the world? I thought it was just here in NZ.
@@jamesparlane9289 It was the same here in Ireland. What were we thinking?
@@alastairstaunton7081 The stuff is just so handy for all sorts of things.
There are few joys in lockdown. Discovering the GH Ukulele Orchestra of GB has
as been one of them. Thank you all. Great sound. Love the vids and I very much hope to see you all live one day. 👏
Going Crazy just waiting...! I am grateful for anything to help ease the lockdown. Please keep them coming. 👏
Week 3 of Lockdown and we have all started to go a little crazy! We will be releasing a video every week for the foreseeable future, so stay tuned :D
Thank you all very much and am fully subscribed and set up for alerts 😎
Awesome thanks uogb for keeping us all sane keep safe everyone
Looking forward to watching this with the family - something to cheer us up whilst eating Easter Eggs 🥚.
Thank you! We hope they all enjoy it.
Happy Easter to you all :D
It's almost worth staying in all week just to look forward to these treats. Thank you again.
The UOGB kept me going during lockdown, and this is one of their finest performances
Parabénnnss Muito bom.
Thanķ you

@@UkuleleOrchestra 😂
Excellent song, as always. I really love the ukulele with the green cutaway corner that the gent on the center right is playing. Most beautiful!
When y'all get out please come back to Austin Texas can't wait love y'all
Perfect song and beautiful as ever
Good to see you all being well
Awesome... Thanks and thumbs up too to Doug and Laura for fantastic post production!
brilliant just bloody brilliant, thanks for sharing, i loved this. Cheers. Andy.
The first time I heard your Orchestra I was blown away that the Ukulele could make such great music. Thank you for what you are doing and I look forward to many more years of your great entertainment.
This was recommended. I’ve played it twice already and have shared it. It’s just great and so original...love it ❤️ Take care all 🇨🇦
I thoroughly enjoyed this rendition of Crazy. You rock.
Great rendition, very appropriate for the times. Thanks so much, please keep them coming.
Your music makes my heart smile, than very much
I came here after having heard too many covers of Crazy, and not needing to hear another one. I'm telling you that I was skeptical before I even started listening, or that my ears already had a pre-judgement. But that made me hear the remarkable thing UOGB somehow manages to do every time with every song, which is that you apply your own musical sense to the material. I don't hear a ukulele band trying to be Gnarls Barkley; I hear the sound of a truly great ukulele band playing a song composed by a different band. Maybe it's hard to explain, but I see now how UOGB keeps the music fresh and alive...with simple little instruments, simple vocal styles. It's beautiful, and fills the heart of any folk musician with hope.
This is the band that can make any song beautiful. Please, always make your music the way you do. I hear something really special in your method.
It’s just got something extra seeing you all apart coming together so well
These guys remind me of when I was thirteen and I first heard the Beatles - Wow!!! Love 'em. Cheers, Harry.
I just cannot stop watching this wonderful orchestra. I have just discovered their music and think it is amazing! Congratulations and thank you.
Just Wonderful! MORE!
Another brilliant masterclass and a cracking Easter present. Thanks to you all for developing this very original way of keeping the show on the road!
Superb vocals
I'm an aspiring ukulelist myself. When I saw this... i just... just wow it was like a dream come true! What would someone like myself have to accomplish to join a group as talented as yourselves?
One my 'reads' during lockdown is my third (or is it fourth) time reading Will's 'Get plucky with the ukulele'. Great to see and hear them all again. 🎸🧡👍
These are so very much appreciated - world wide! :)
Rarely seen these days, such artistry and at a time when we really needed relief from the grimness of lockdown. Brilliant, uplifiting and I could go on and on!
You're all the absolute best, definitely my kind of crazy. You'll never know how you take me away
I love this. The video and audio editing was amazingly good too. Thanks Ukulele Orchestra.
That was lovely, just what we needed made our day. Best band ever.
So many thanks, all the very best from Brittany.
Thank you! So pleased you enjoyed it :D
Thank you so much for another amazing rendition of a wonderful song! Happy Easter, everybody! ❤
Thank you! So pleased you enjoyed it. Happy Easter :D
This is fantastic! What a wonderful way to start my Monday. Thank you for this beautiful effort -- must have been tricky! What a voice, too, with amazing phrasing. Excellent vocal and instrumental performance.
Dang struck way down deep 😮 speechless...
Hoo right, very beautiful!!! Congratulations, great!
Saudações desde o Brazil.
Fan since 2009, the Goog, the Bad and the Ugly ( Live in London #2)!
After pandemic, come to Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre!!
Majestic Orchestra!!
Excellent
Just... thank you!
After three weeks of self-isolating, pretty sure we're all a bit (more) crazy.
Saw them live and I'm still memorized by their skill
Oh well, now I just have to subscribe. This is brilliant 😭😭😭💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Excited! We played this song at my wedding 8 years ago.
OMG--this just popped up on my TV and I love it. Woot Woot!
adorei, o som do ukelele bass no final fechou com chave de ouro Bravo!
Brilliant, again. Much love from Australia.
Brilliant.
Thank you!
Yet more brilliance. I was a little confused by the intro as I couldn’t see how it would fit with Patsy Cline’s song then the penny dropped! Thanks again for cheering us all up. Steve
I'm learning ukulele and it's really inspiring to watch groups like you guys!!!
We are all going crazy....Wonderful....
Thank you so much for your creative and funny quarantine postings. They are the first thing I look for. I love you guys....we love you guys! Please try to come to El Paso Texas!!!!
Brilliant. Have been lucky enough to see you perform that live. and look forward to re-sheduled concert September at Theatre Severn
Thank you Gillian. Looking forward to seeing you there :D
No me canso de escucharlos. Los conocí por internet cuando estudiaba música, después me gradué como profesora de música, ahora grabo mis clases con ukelele. Son una fuente de inspiración.
🥰Thank you for this lovely performing so supportive!
Salut 👋 from France 🇫🇷 les rosbifs..
And get lucky 🍀..!
That was simply awesome!
I really love this orchestra, hugs from Brazil!
Apart from the dazzling uke arrangements, you all have great singing voices, I would really love to hear George sing again, love his trembly-vibratoish style (see I clearly got no idea...but I enjoy)
You folks are total stars for doing these videos for us in these mad days 🌟🌟🌟😁. Please all stay safe keep entertaining us, you are so appreciated 🤗.
Woooow, increible😍😍😍
That was just lovely, the groove with the rhythm and bass well stated locked together , then those melodic instrumental bits coming in out all with a great vocal lead - crazy brilliant - loved it!
Just saw your orchestra at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver. Your musicality and humour, and creativity just made that evening the best I've had in awhile. Enjoyed it so much.
Great! You're positive CRAZY! ❤️😊 Thank you for music on ukuleles🌹💕🎶😊🎼💞 I'm wating for more. Regards from Poland 💋💓🇵🇱 Poland loves ukuleles and You 😍❤️😄
This is great! Glad we're all (well, many of us) sprung from our homes and able to attend performances in person. It was wonderful to finally see you in Philadelphia last night after waiting many years for the privilege. Please come back when you can. As you saw last night, you have many friends here. Safe travels!
