("Goin' to the Tiki Bar") I'm a weekend warrior on the guitar and wrote a song about my favorite place and drink (mai tai). I know I'm not the musician that Lucas or some of the other professionals here are, but I really do love tiki and I wrote a song about it. That being said, I don't care for "We Love Tikis", but to each his own. I grew up listening to country/rock, so my tiki song sounds a little country (ohh the blasphemy), but everyone gets a chuckle when I play it. Interestingly, Hawaiian music and C&W music share some of the same styles that go back before the mid-century. (Steel guitar, yodeling, fingerpicking, etc.) But don't worry, I'll never call myself a tiki musician, just a crazy fez wearing Trailerpark Boy.
