Hodgman plays uke

Gary says:

John Hodgman, aka "PC" from the Get a Mac campaign, and recent Guest Blogger on Ukulelia's big sister site, Boing Boing, plays Tonight You Belong to Me at a recent event promoting his book, More Information Than You Require. He's accompanied by Jonathan Coulton on guitar.

That was a great show! Here it is from another angle, along with a few other clips from that night.

Wow, hitting on soooo many levels, this may be the greatest thing I've seen in many a day.

Where's the cat proclaiming, "Tonight all you has belong to me"?

That's Sean Nelson singing in the suit on the left. What a great night that was.

You guys just made Monday a little less Mondayish for me.

I can only hope and pray that they followed it up with the Thermos song.

Be sure to click on BIKKLE's second link and watch Jonathan Coulton's Presidents song (with a new Obama ending!)

Clayton @5: My thoughts exactly! I must start reading BB earlier in the day.

Oh I'm picking out a thermos for you
not an ordinary thermos for you
but the extra best thermos you can buy
with vinyl and stripes and a cup built right in

Very sweet. This reminded me of Fiona Apple's version:

John Hodgeman apparently has a decent vocal range.

...So, was he doing impressions of ARTHUR GODFREY or TINY TIM?

That is all.

Fiona Apple? Gah! :D

Here's the Patience and Prudence version:

No more Hodgeman.

Here's yet another rendition with Hodgman, Coulton and the Long Winters from Live Wire! Radio in Portland.

Great. I love that song and having Hodgman sing it is something I never would have guessed.

Anyone know what that guy used to make the kazoo-like instrument?

[#15 posted by FLG , November 18, 2008 1:39 AM]

Fantastic. Anyone else think Hodgman's performance reminds them Kermit?

not to take away from the hodg, but that clip of JoCo singing the presidents song was kickass.

[#17 posted by bikkle , November 18, 2008 3:25 PM]

@14: It was a piece of paper, I believe.

This was a sweet little clip, displaying why Mr. Hodgman is deserving of the BoingBoing gods' favoritism.
