Apparently Jodle Birge was a big entertainer in Denmark. I really have to wonder how this item ended up in the Salvation Army store in Bullhead City, Arizona, by the way. Anyway, if it was in English the corniness of it would be insufferable, but the novelty of hearing "Hawaiian music" like Aloha Ohe (sic) and The Moon of Manakoora, not to mention such Hawaiian classics as Jamaica Farewell (!), in a northern European language I am totally unfamiliar with, makes it kind of a strange pleasure to listen to now and then. It was recorded, at least partially, in Hawaii, and features Jerry Byrd on guitar.
