One of the cool things about the AppleTV is that I can doze off watching YouTube videos. Once in a blue moon, I find something so delightful that I spring out of bed and dart downstairs to watch more or write the creator.
Tonight I found the “Guacamole Ukulele” song by the the incredibly talented Lauren from The Moaning Myrtles, a piano-based “wizard rock” band from Hillsborough, NJ.
Lauren (who goes by DevilishlyPure on YouTube) is one of the FiveAwesomeGirls, a raving Harry Potter fan, and a NerdFighter. She and Lena, from The Butterbeer Experience, are currently touring as “The Accio Bodyguard.”
It’s easier to eat half a bag of Doritos than watch this video without smiling. You’ll be stuck with the song for a while. As of this post it has just 2600 views, but I’d bet a Ruby Tuesday’s Guacamole that it’s going to go well past that.
Update: June 27, 2008: They got featured on the homepage and have 250,000 views or more!

Or Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

OK Nalts…I like this song, but eventually I’m going to need that song that supposed to get rid of all songs stuck in your head (cause I can tell this one’s going to be in there for a while)…what was it again? LOL!
Two words I would have never guessed I would ever see in the same sentence.
I used to bus tables at a restaurant and I stuck my finger in some guacamole on a plate. I was in the middle of the restaurant gagging. I think guacamole is yucky.

They play the ukulele way better than you.
I am waiting for your self-absorbed ukulele debut.
Do it. NOW.
Oh I can’t ever play the ukulele again after watching this. But I can sing “Dirt Deeds and they Done them Cheap” or “Now you’re messing with a Son of Bitch.”
Nalts, you need to leave the playing to someone like that jawharp kid. Step away from the ukulele.
