"Life on Mars" covered by a ukulele orchestra

  • Jun 8, 2008

This video is awesome, featuring a ukulele orchestra playing "Life on Mars."  On the second verse they start getting creative and overlaying the song with verses from other songs with similar chord structures. 

Since I'm a nerd I looked up the songs:

  1. Frank Sinatra - My Way (which makes sense given the history of the song)
  2. Garth Brooks - For Once in My Life
  3. Andy Williams - Born Free
  4. The Who - Substitute
  5. Randy Crawford - Someday I'll Fly Away (better known from Moulin Rouge)
They have a lot of other videos on youtube worth checking out.
