I found this video the other day on YouTube, it's of a couple minutes from the Tokyo version of the Enchanted Tiki Room. This is the first chance I've had to actually see a bit of it, before now I've only heard descriptions of it having more of a "salsa" sound. The clip is short, and includes the birds singing a Japanese version of "I Wanna Be Like You" and the Tiki Room song.

Ahhh.. Memories.... Ms. VanTiki and I lived in Japan for a few years (a bit of an extended adventure/vacation/learning experience) and took many trips to Tokyo Disney. I actually have a CD of the Japanese Tiki Room soundtrack, and it is one of my favs on the old' iTunes playlist! Tokyo Disney sea is my favorite Disney park by far - simply astounding design and execution. A huge park that has a totally convincing horizon line - nothing modern breaks the park's illusion of place. The rides are so-so, but I could have walked around that park forever! We were there within a year of the parks opening, and it was practically empty (of course, it was a FREEZING rainy fall day). Some photos of the artistry:
