SNL - Tiki Bar skit - General Tiki

I saw an old Saturday Night Live show skit about a lounge singer - Bill Murrey - working a tiki bar called 'Trader Nick's'. The tiki bar was fairly accurate. Complete with thatch, bamboo, tikis, and vintage mugs. What makes this skit interesting is that it was probably from about 1980. A time when 'Tiki' was very uncool and passe. I could only wonder where they got the props for this skit. What hard-core, pre-revival, tiki-phile kept these hidden away as to avoid redicule by his 1980's peers. Bigbro - was it you?
