    A paltry 6. A couple I’ve heard about here but don’t really know so didn’t get and the other two although they play uke I don’t really associate them with it. Oh, and the link to the comments from the answer page doesn’t work. Thanks anyway though, it meant I could delay the washing up for another 10 minutes.

    9/10!!! After a long time saying J-gun J-aiming J-aim-zebra. Didn’t know Elvis Costello played ukulele though

    8/10. Can’t believe I missed Tiny Tim. I was thinking, “God Frog”? Must now go commit seppuku…

  4. Phredd May 24th, 2012 11:28 am

    Got em all but #7. I would not have gotten many without the hover over hints!

    Got five right. Cool contest, might we see more of these?

  6. Lincoln May 24th, 2012 1:54 pm

    Got 4! Had fun though! thanks

    7… i didn’t know taylor swift played uke

    9, Al. Couldn’t get (8), so thought Elvis was pop-art. (Well, it is, isn’t it?) The wave was aloha. Came up with Papa(rt) KoAloha. Hey, he ukes.

    Reformed Whores would have made for some good clues. Ditto for Nacho y los Pussygatos.

    Sunny Jim: Always glad to provide procrastination material.

    CharlesHugh: Congratulations!

    pepamahina: To be fair, God Frog is a better ukulelist.

    Phredd: Maybe I should only have allowed half marks if you cheated!

    bwachter70: Thanks! I might do.

    Lincoln: Thanks. I had fun putting it together.

    Blaze: She does.

    PoB: I’ll keep them in mind for next time.

    3 and 4 I’ve never heard of, 7 and 8 I read in the comments (didn’t realise there’d be spoilers!), so that makes 6/10… happy with that.

    Good fun- cheers!

    6. Well, 5 and a bit if I’m honest. (‘oh yeah, Israel thingamabob’ probably doesn’t count a a full point…)

    No idea who 3 and 4 are either Kempo. I’m off for a google.

  12. Chris Q May 29th, 2012 12:51 pm

    …and I’m glad I did. Number 4 is great.
