James Hetfield meets Steve Martin...kinda.

For most of recorded history, the ukulele has been an instrument that might be best described as play at your own risk. Not because it's a dangerous instrument, but that it's not very popular and it's size makes it easy to make fun of.

The Ukulele has just lately been seen peering into new territory, a brave new world where it's ok to play is, and maybe even cool. This guy, the one man ukulele band Ukes Of Hazard, is bringing it into the realm of cool. He plays all 3 guitar parts, bass, drums and vocals of Metallic's 'One' on a ukulele. Not all at once, that would be silly.

Check out the video, then try it for yourself on the tiniest instrument you have access to.
