Your U-Tube example is cool, but to me it kind of relates to the genre like 60s Big Band music relates to the original Swing of the 40s: It's the old guy's sound. Not that that is bad, it's its own kind of cool, which I can dig also. But I think the "new kids on the block" in Tiki Poly Pop, like Steve Crane and the Thornton Brothers, would have viewed it as the "old veterans' sound", like Don The Beachcomber and Skipper Kent - aka the Pre-Tiki generation.
