As it appears on the back cover of the Hawaii Five-O
soundtrack album:

...
"That's what I asked Morton Stevens to put into music.
The value of a great one-minute theme to any television
series is inestimable and I wanted one for my then brand
spanking new HAWAII FIVE-O. No ukeleles or steel guitars
or falsetto singers or overused bongos, but a kind of
melding of the Polynesian, the classic, the jazz and most
of all the pop sound of today. HAWAII FIVE-O is all of
these things and so, happily, is Morton Stevens' music,
as you will discover. Aloha!" [My note: - Leonard Freeman
(creator of the TV series "Hawaii Five-O")]
