At the risk of starting a fight, of all the mid-century Polynesian and exotica records I have, I will not buy Don Ho, because his music just doesn't feel tiki.
And, I disagree on the food. I think modern Polynesian is just as tiki as the wacky, space-age stuff. Tonight I am opening my tiki bar up and serving poisson cru, spam misubi, spam and pineapple fried rice, edamame salad and taro chips. There are newer, better tiki drinks, so why not newer, better tiki food?
