I love the song MOON OF MANAKOORA.

Is Manakoora a real place? Is it a god? I've tried google just to get a search list about the song. Has anybody seen THE HURRICANE, which featured this song?

THE MOON OF MANAKOORA

© 1937
Lyrics: Frank Loesser Music: Alfred Newman
Introduced by Dorothy Lamour in the non-musical film, THE HURRICANE.

The moon of Manakoora filled the night
With magic Polynesian charms
The moon of Manakoora came in sight
And brought you to my eager arms

The moon of Manakoora soon will rise again
Above the island shore
Then I'll behold it in your dusky eyes
And you'll be in my arms once more
