Because women will play Ukulele music

Ok. I blame Jason Mraz and Taimane for this one. 

But it was bad enough we had to put up with the spate of kids playing this on the net. Now we are suffering through this ultra cute fad with women.

There seem to be three primary rules with the “Im going to make it big” ukulele thing.

1. You must cover at least 5 Beatles songs

2. One must be all my lovin’

3. You then have to cover I’m yours.

If you follow these rules, you are officially a ukulele player.

The world is still waiting for the un-cute ukulele player. Jason Miraz is primarily to blame for this – along with the film Juno. They have both cursed the world with a passion for cute that now extends past the previous healthy borders of child and cat. Of course, whenever there is a cute fad, you can be sure women will leap onto it, seeing as they are always looking for an opportunity to relinquish what it means to be an adult and embrace emotional childishness.

All I can say is the sooner we get past this the better.

In romance novels there are no Ukuleles because even the most banal, poorly written romance novel is too sophisticated for them.
