“Twist and Shout” by The Beatles has gotten a fantastic ukulele cover. One of the most beloved, well-known songs by arguably the biggest band of all time has received quite an unexpected but still delightful rendition. You are bound to find yourself twisting and shouting right along with this fresh, updated take on a Beatles classic.

Not all covers are created equal. Some are great and may even give the original a run for its money, while others should have never ever even been imagined. Of course, I’m not talking about blankets, quilts or any other large, long piece of cloth that could be called a cover. No, I’m interested in covers of songs.

Covers are a time-honored tradition that is not going anywhere. Musicians have played each other’s songs for decades, likely centuries. Covers are so popular that entire bands are dedicated to playing the music of specific bands and artists. The most popular musician for the cover treatment has to be Elvis Presley. While he is far and away in the top spot, The Beatles are not far behind.

In a clip posted on YouTube, two musicians provide their take on “Twist and Shout” by the four lads from Liverpool. But instead of playing that timeless tune on the guitar or bass, they go a different, unexpected route. They play the classic track on ukuleles.

I know what you’re thinking, “How could that ever be any good? That will likely be horrible, destroying a classic in the process.” But that is not the case at all. It is a delightful version of the song made famous by John, Paul, George and Ringo.

Not only does this talented duo play their ukuleles, but they also provide the vocals, singing those iconic, memorable lyrics. It’s not The Beatles, but it is still worth several listens.
