I'm going to be playing the song in the video linked below on my Dec. 30 radio show on Fairfax Public Access/WEBR, Dr. Zarkov's Tiki Lounge. I apologize for the sound quality on the video, but I plan to use the CD version which is much, much better. I don't know Spanish but I have a sneaking suspicion the lyrics have nothing to do with Tiki gods or Mai Tais. I love it though, and plan to intermix it with some other Latin-flavored dance, jazz and exotica, including Tito Puente, Sidestepper and Bob Holroyd, if I have the time to shoehorn it all in during a one-hour show. Here is the El Tiki Tiki video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gccrOZQvw6Q

This might not be as scary as the Maori anti-whaling song, but it's sure to raise the hackles of the purists who hate the fact I played some Mickey Hart on my show a few weeks ago.
