What is the ukulele tune from Waking Life

Name that song! From the movie Waking Life, not on soundtrack.
In the scene where the main character walks into the church, at one point he talks to this guy wearing overalls who is playing this tune on a ukulele. Dont know if this is a traditional folk song or what, but I am absolutely in love with it and would love to track it down somehow in an original or longer format. Eternal love awaits anyone who can help.

Best answer: Oooo eternal love...
I'm pretty sure the musician/actor is Guy Forsyth. Don't know the name of the song, but if it is him, he has a website and MySpace site where you might be able to ask.

Knowing Linklater, it'd be great if that ukelele tune turned out to be by the Butthole Surfers or Scratch Acid or some other Austin luminaries ...
