The ukulele chords for Kolohe Kai‘s Ehu Girl are easy and fun to strum. It’s an amazingly hook-y song about the redish tinge in the hair of some Polynesians.
This one is STILL on the radio! I was teaching my young ukulele students this song for years. Seems like the initial fad is well over, but it’s still a great, well-known song.
