I've performed this song solo on acoustic guitar hundreds of times but never played it on ukulele before today. This was done LITLR  with my baritone Uke.  2 condenser mics, the unfortunate slight clipping is from the uke track some pitches of my voice really peaked that mic, it wasn't to bad in my monitors but computer speakers might be different. I had screwed this up so many times I wasn't sure my voice could take another try so I'm calling it done, but let me now if it's worse than I think.

Almost too simplified with just the uke, I'd actually like to hear more instrumentation coming into the mix at different intervals of the song, but damn that vocal sure carried it as is. great emotion in the voice man!

This is superb Hook..great cover of one of the Foo's best tunes.

That vocal is powerful and full of feeling, and it love the way it blends with the Uke. Never thought I would hear this song done this way, but man does it work!

Man dude you`re on fire with these covers. I really don`t even like doing covers myself unless i destroy them but you do them in such a great way. You could make money touring this sorta thing even. Any ways i love the foos and your vox and playing are phenomenal on this my friend!

Very cool.  One of the few Foo Fighters songs I am familiar with.  Always thought it was catchy, but this version I prefer over the original.

By the way, the "Hey-yea" at 2:08 sounded very Hetfield-ish (in an understated way).  Perhaps this is what Metallica covering Tiny Tim would sound like.

Loved it.  To the "Best of..." folder.
