Lukulele Slim

I watched this on the toilet the first time through. The acoustics were perfect for some ukulele. (Please note, I did not make a joke about the perfect acpoosticks or how great the pookulele sounds.)

Lukulele Slim is the dude Lucas Dix from Jellyfish Brigade and Hives Inquiry Squad, but I know him more as the guy who teaches middle school who I wished taught me when I was in middle school. Dude is immediately genuine, instantly relatable, and he's just oozing with cool ass middle school teacher vibes you can't really explain but you know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about. 

I didn't think I'd like the ukulele shit because I tend not to like the ukulele because my friend Aram bought one and takes it everywhere and it drives me insane that he's hiking in the Swiss fucking Alps and whips out a fucking ukulele and has someone take a picture of him doing so. Fuck you Aram. Fuck the Swiss Alps. Fuck the French Alps. Fuck your perfectly filtered Instagram account. And fuck you for being one of my best friends when you're such a fucking dick. 

But Lukulele Slim has this oddly relaxing beachy country vibe to it, and it's pretty straight forward acoustipop that sounds like it'd do well on a car insurance commercial, but the video bro. This video is fucking perf. Sit and watch this with your head on your hands and enjoy it. I did it on the toilet and then did it again at my desk and this dude is fucking adorably killing shit. 

So yes, the dude and the video are brills and I want to dye easter eggs with them both, but the end of this song and its repeated lyric have me super comfortable in the globally collective fact that we're all fucked up in our own unique ways, but it's how we stack our faults and present them as strengths that make us who we are. 

I mean, frealdo, "We've all got baggage by now".

I repeat:

We've all got baggage by now
