How to play Unpaid Intern on ukulele

The strumming pattern that fits is the funky chunky: d u x u d u x u. The groove sits around 100 bpm, a medium pace, and it swings lightly. This arrangement is in G minor. I rate the chords skilled, a fair middle ground. Add muted chunks on the offbeats and let the eighths swing.
