# Cutesy Ukelele Covers Supercute! 'Misty Mountain Hop' Cover Gives Island Feel to a Rock Classic By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-01-24 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supercute-misty-mountain-hop References: [boingboing.net](http://www.boingboing.net/2010/01/22/supercute-plays-mist.html) & [myspace](http://www.myspace.com/supercute) The reason this band chose the name Supercute! was so that every time they come on stage they can say “We’re Supercute!” And it’s true, the girl trio is super cute. Here they play Misty Mountain Top on ukuleles. The [pint-sized instrument](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smallscale-electric-guitars) adds to the band’s cuteness, even if they’ll never reach the level of cuteness that the [ukulele-playing little boy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidsafe-music) has. Misty Mountain Top is an interesting choice for the ukulele. Check out the video to see (and hear) the version. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ukulele Covers:** Small, low-cost, and portable ukuleles are becoming increasingly popular for creating acoustic covers of popular and classical songs. - **Child Performers:** The rising popularity of children performing music on social media platforms like YouTube and TikTok opens the door for more opportunities for child musicians to gain exposure and compete with professional musicians. - **Nostalgic Music:** With the increasing popularity of covers of classic songs, there is also a growing interest in revisiting the past and bringing back old-fashioned music styles and instruments like the ukulele. ### Who This Affects Most - **Music Production:** Recording studios and music producers can capitalize on the popularity of ukulele covers by creating a space that caters to producing acoustic covers of popular songs. - **Music Education:** Music schools and teachers can offer classes that cater to teaching children how to play instruments like the ukulele and focus on producing digital content to attract more students. - **Social Media Marketing:** Small businesses and independent artists can leverage platforms like YouTube and TikTok to promote their brand by creating ukulele covers that align with their products and services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Music Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loog-x-hello-kitty.md) - [Ukulele Progression Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukulele-chord-progressions.md) - [Adorable Exclusive Music Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fender-and-sanrio.md) - [Connected Ukulele Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-ukulele.md) - [Reimagined Pop-Culture Music Genres](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whole-new-sound.md) - [Encouraging Virtual Guitar Pedals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-buffer.md) - [Curated Music Group Playlists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spotify-supergrouper.md) - [Packable Electroacoustic Travel Guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-guitar.md) - [Emotive Plush Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/care-bears-caring-cuties.md)
