How about taking a fresh approach? Like combining exoticia/hawaiian with say... gypsy jazz? I think songs like Flamingo, Simboney, Beyond the Reef, Adventure in Paradise and, maybe, Nite in Tunisia (the last not really tiki) would work well in that style. You already know Caravan and I'm sure you've heard Django's Chinatown My Chinatown which I heard Martin Denny play at La Mariana sailing club years ago.
Just some thoughts, by the way, who made your petite bouche?
