> [@veryfrank](#): > > Ukulele. The first thing I thought of was the scene in _The Jerk_ where Navin and Marie are walking on the beach and singing, and Steve Martin is playing the ukulele. I also wondered if Elvis might have played it in one of his movies, most likely _Blue Hawaii_. I can’t find a video, but I’m seeing still photos of him with a ukulele. ---
