Again? Maybe it's time to start The Official Merrell Fankhauser "We Love Tiki" Admiration topic. Or just call it WLT for short so people can make quick casual reference to it without making a new thread, as one of the common acronyms here (TC, BOT, DtB, TV, TO, ITD, HTs, WWJD, ...).

neon meadow sez "Awesome song, We Love Tikis" in 2006

dua tale sez "new Tiki video"

Chongolio sez "it just doesn't work as a Tiki Tune"

Spermy sez "when hippy's and tiki mix"

lucas vigor sez "the decline of Tiki" and JOHN-O sez "COOL"

lucas vigor replies to his own jubidoo thread

And I couldn't help commenting on it either...

Here is a nice version of Bermuda by Merrell Fankhauser and the Impacts. Actually it's on other threads that Fankhauser comes up as an example of highly questionable taste in modern times with the "We Love Tikis" video. BUT he did have some good stuff with the Impacts in the last decade or so (like this version of Bermuda), and of course more so in the 60s with the original Impacts.
