Aloha!
Last Thursday I went to a Ska festival featuring The Planet Smashers. Know this: Ska music isn't for everyone. One of my favorite somgs by them is "Super Orgy Porno Party" and their music is often played on the MTV cartoon "Undergrads".
Anyhow, they have a new album titled "Mighty" which has a Tiki as it's mascot, and features a song called Missionary's Downfall. I picked up a t-shirt with the Tiki on the front, and will scan in an image of it. Here are the lyrics to the song:

"Missionary's Downfall"

Everybody on your knees
"It's God" say the "Polynesse" [Sic]
They worship me mistakenly
I say "Tiki, who was he?"
Trader Vic at Hinky Dink's
He liked sex and he liked to drink
Built a temple to have fun
Huri Popo everyone

Aku-Aku, Mai-tai
Tonight's the night it'll be just fine
Gombay Smash or Kapu-Kai
Can't be bothered by the 9 to 5
Gotta get down at the coconut lounge tonight

Island people are a generous bunch
Offering drinks and buffet lunch
No missionary could ever see
Their downfall in Tahiti
Could this be paradise?
Hula skirts are really nice
Sweet and fruity drinks with ice
If I die this would suffice

Aku-Aku, Mai-tai
Tonight's the night it'll be just fine
Gombay Smash or Kapu-Kai
Can't be bothered by the 9 to 5
Come on I wuna lei ya at the coconut lounge tonight
Aku-Aku, Mai-tai
Tonight's the night it'll be just fine
Gotta get down at the coconut lounge tonight
Aku-Aku, Mai-tai
Tonight's the night it'll be just fine
Gombay Smash or Kapu-Kai
Can't be bothered by the 9 to 5
Gotta get down at the coconut lounge tonight
