Remember the video for Haircut 100's "Love Plus One"? It was very tropical (or at least jungly). No tikis that I recall, though. Another good one is that old Elvis Costello and the Attractions' video (I think it was "Oliver's Army") set in Hawaii. It had a club scene in a dark bar with a wahine serving Elvis a tall blue tropical drink. There was also a scene of the band "playing" on Waikiki beach with Diamond Head in the background. I heard in an interview that they were returning from a Japanese tour when they stopped in Hawaii and shot the video (in 1977 or 1978).
