The Guitar which most of you are referring to is not a guitar its a Baritone Ukulele.
English speakers often call the instrument the "uke" (yook) or "ukulele" (yoo-koo ley-lee), whereas given the instrument's Hawaiian origin, it might be more accurate to say the "uku" (oo koo), or "ukulele" (oo koo lay lay). In Hawaiian apparently, all syllables end with a vowel and `e` is always pronounced as a long `a`. The conventions of transliteration from Hawaiian probably allow both spellings: ukulele and ukelele. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain use the former spelling but they don`t speak Hawaiian. (Extract from the UOBG website)
It is all tongue and cheek, their repertoire ranges from George Formby covers to the Sex Pistols!!!

Oh... my... god... if Kurt was still alive, he'd be dead after that performance... music was okay, vocals just sucked...
