Off the top of my head: "Tiki Twist" by The Vistas (pic posted on TC perviously by Mau Mau, lucky owner of the 45), that I've heard on Music to Spazz By on WFMU.org Reference to Trader Vic's in "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon Any more? I guess new artists count, but bands like the Tiki Tones are too obvious. I'm looking for old songs mostly.
