Well, Sure, Why Not?
There are two things that I know that most of my readers will like: ukulele music or hawt anime chix0rz. "But Wonderduck," I hear you cry, "why ukuleles?" Why, indeed? Well, sez I, it's my blog and this is what I want to post tonight.
Kaiser Chiefs and the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
"Ruby"
And if that wasn't enough? Hawt anime chix0r:
-Amagami SS, ep08
Don't say I never gave you nuthin'.
UPDATE: Because I realized that this band is horribly unrepresented here at The Pond, allow me to introduce you to a group that you've never heard of. Lady and Gentlemen, for your listening entertainment, Moxy Fruvous:

On that last one, what is the real song they're using? They wrote their own lyrics, but the song itself is familiar and it's driving me nuts.
A capella groups, when they're good, are really a pleasure. These guys are quite enjoyable. They remind me of Rockapella.

Steven, as far as I know the guys in Moxy write their own stuff. If they lifted the melody of KoS from someplace, I don't know about it.
Moxy is a strange little band. They aren't an acapella group at all, though they do fantastic acapella (their cover of the Bee Gee's Gotta Get A Message To You is simply amazing); they're not a rock band, though they can rock with the best of them (Splatter Splatter, for example); if anything I'd call them a folk group, but that's hardly broad enough for their repertoire.
Unfortunately, I never got to see them live. The Librarian introduced me to Moxy just as they were releasing their last album and breaking up. Fortunately, I discovered a whole raft of band-approved live concert recordings that were put up at the Internet Archive. Those got me through the Ga-Rei Zero series of posts...

I did some searching. It appears to be a song the lyrics of which began "I want to be the king of Spain".
