Pee Wee Exotica - Tiki Music

My wife and I are big time Pee Wee fans so we bought set 1 (16 episodes). After watching all of the episodes I caught a link to the tiki world. In the opening credits an exotica type song is played while the camera pans across a multitude of monkeys, rabbits, etc who are making various animal sounds in the background. At roughly the same time, I purchased the Mondo Exotica CD from the Ultra Lounge series and heard a song titled Jungle Madness from Martin Denny. The song played during the opening credits and the accompanying animal sounds are almost the exact same rhthym and style as Jungle Madness. It appears that Paul Reubens (or someone else on his creative staff) was an exotica fan. I guessing most of you wont care but I love finding parrallels in my different interests. Da Monkeyman
