Look at early Denny’ s songs like Quiet Village, Flotsam And Jetsam, or Paradise Found then pick up a copy of Arthur Lyman’s Sonic Sixties cd which is clashing of exotic styles, pop, and rock music to songs like Hey Jude, Hang On Sloopy and With A Little Help From My Friends.
It reminds me of When Tony Bennett was trying to reach out to a younger hipper crowd with his Tony Sings the Great Hits of Today (with pinstriped bellbottom album cover) . And for the record I’ve played Lyman’s Hawaii 5-0 cut to 3 non “tiki” people and heard them giggle to themselves at the arrangement.
Let's hope Don Tiki doesn't start covering The Pussycat Dolls.
