My entry to Ukulele Underground and Eleuke's UKE ROCK Contest. I thought it didn't necessarily need loads of distortion, so I slowed it down a bit and gave it a swinging skiffley feel. (I hope.) I wanted to use my new Smurfulele for the little melody fills. It was sent to me by a very kind UUer who was having a clear out and thought that Smurfette might like an appropriate uke. I won't name and embarrass him, but THANK YOU. It might be a toy and not the most perfectly intonated uke ever made, but it most certainly has the aloha spirit. (I also used a Makapili concert uke and a 3/4 size P-Bass copy.) "Sultans of Swing" was Dire Straits' first single, released in 1978. Written by Mark Knopfler, it was the demo that got them their recording deal.
