Dent May & His Magnificent Ukelele sure did steam up The Hotbox during last week’s CMJ events. We knew this guy was a charmer, but honestly who else can pull off a rhyme like “I’m going to love you for all time/ I’ll kiss you and I’ll hug you, that’s no lie?” Prettttty smooth. If we had a chance to make this video all over again, we would place lead-singer Dent May in the bathtub, make bubbles with the available conditioners, light some candles, and give him a tropical drink adorned with a little umbrella from which he might  leisurely sip. And the ukulele? Well, that would just play itself in a corner safe from water and fire damage.
