Uwe Baltner becomes Instagram hero with his wholesome covers of pop and rock songs
Most of the time, social media a non-stop deluge of excrement. Constant negativity spewed into the digital ether, making us all hate the world just a little bit more with every scroll. It's awful.
But that's where Instagram star Uwe Baltner comes in. The German car karaoke enthusiast has become a hit on Instagram with his wholesome #content, which is simply, singing songs in his car.
As his bio says, "Singing in my Fiat 500, I spread music and fun all around the world!" and that's precisely what he does. Now with over 1 million followers, Uwe records himself singing a different song each day while sat behind the wheel of his hatchback.
He takes requests from his legions of followers and has so far belted out renditions of Megadeth's Symphony Of Destruction, Motörhead's Ace Of Spades, King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard's Planet B and Green Day's Jesus Of Suburbia – all of which you can watch below.
But he's also taken on the likes of Cardi B, Childish Gambino, Wu-Tang Clan, Abba and Nicki Minaj. It's pretty much the best thing on Instagram right now.
Check Uwe out for yourself.
