There is no such thing as Tiki Music!

Ha, ha...

Yup, one can argue that "Tiki music" and "Tiki drinks" taken literally are both Tiki Revival wishful thinking.

After all, Exotica music and Tropical cocktails would still exist even if some smart businessman (Steve Crane?, Bob Bryant?) had never thought to use a tiki as a restaurant mascot.

But if the Tiki Revival is indeed a true culture or lifestyle then we do need our own OFFICIAL drinks and music. Thus Exotica = Tiki Music and Tropical Cocktails = Tiki Drinks. Now excuse me while I change into my Tiki shirt.

:D :D :D

EDIT - Ooops, I see that Chuck Tatum (and obviously Jeff Central) beat me to the punch with this thought. Great Tiki minds think alike. Anyways this is a fun discussion (not argument !!).

Double EDIT - Also Chucky I would disagree with your assertion that Exotica wasn't played in the Tiki bar. This offering by Jeff Central is proof that it was...
