I guess I would say the version by The Surfmen from "Exotic Island" (also released as The South Sea Serenaders, "Trade Winds Romance From Hawaii To Tahiti"). I say that because it is the one that really makes it sound quite different from the original, yet completely still classic exotica. I also think it's probably one of the best exotic LPs out there.

It's always great to hear a different rendition of this song. Side 2 of "Exotic Island" has been spinning here for the better part of the Summer and I almost forgot about the "Quiet Village" track! Good stuff! I love the Surfmen's sound, especially on "Fire Goddess" (same album).
