Something Weird Video On Demand currently has a nine-minute short featuring two PolyPop music videos from the early 60s. Both feature hula dancers; And both are as cheesy as they can get. But, if you give it at least a minute of your attention, you'll find yourself watching til the end. They're actually kinda fascinating.

For Cox Communications cable customers: On your remote, press the On Demand button. Once you get the menu, go to "Free Zone," then "Special Interests," then "Something Weird," and, finally, "Hula Honeys." For other cable systems that carry Something Weird On Demand, you'll have to poke around until you find it. I have no idea if there's any similarities between Cox and other cable providers.

I went to their web site to see if they offered these on DVD; I couldn't find them. However, instead, I found this burlesque collection from circa 1953, some of which was actually shot on Waikiki Beach.

If you're not familiar with Something Weird video, dig around their web site for a bit. You'll find some lost classics, vintage commercials, drive-in and movie theater interstitials (aka "snipes"), lots of vintage porn, and obscure psychotronic drek. A great company for people with a taste for "Teh Odd."
