If anyone suggests to you that ukuleles aren’t sexy, send them Ramon Novarro’s ukulele seduction (via Ukulele Porn) from the equally steamy film The Pagan.

Two ukulele playing ducks: this one who is adorable. And this one who is a badass mother funker.

From the comments: In the Ellie Goulding post, Christine said something I should probably paste into every tab I do:
Everyone just calm down, feel the song, and it’ll sound great, it really doesn’t matter if it’s exactly the same as the vid, nobody’s going to test you :)
What would you do if you came home and found me in your living room naked playing ukulele?
“The Pagan” came out in the early days of sound (1929), and faulty synchronization led audiences to wonder whether it was really Novarro’s voice as he strummed a ‘ukulele and sang “The Pagan Love Song.” (It turned out that Novarro actually was singing – it was the ‘ukulele playing that was somebody else’s.) Shades of Lyle Ritz doubling for Steve Martin in “The Jerk.” Novarro’s ‘ukulele double hasn’t been identified, but one candidate is Mike Hanapi. http://tinyurl.com/3l5l9ff
