Ok so back to the tiki part, I don't like most of Yma Sumacs songs.
I guess Yma Sumacs - Mambo is ok and it does fit well in the tiki bar but damn on Friday or Saturday night I just don't want to be put to sleep with Quiet Village.

When I'm alone or just kicking back in a tiki bar, ok that works.

Sooo for me surf music is cool, I used to play Thin Lizzy just to piss everybody off even Buffet once only to find my Buffet cd was broken after the party, don't know who did that.

If you think about it you hear a lot of complaints on TC about the music in tiki bars don't even remember the music at Tiki Ti when I was there maybe there was none.
It was not needed at the time.

The Kahiki played the same stuff you would get to know the songs and they had an ok band as well that was more of a steel drum thing, they were the Tropics island band.
Could not find them on YouTube.

So who drinks, like really drinks!
Young people, old people like the true tiki fans don't really drink as much at least not when they know a bill is commin, the bar owner is going cater to the drinking crowd it only makes sense and money.

At my place we would play Dean Martin type slow stuff on rainy days and faster music on say Fridays.
The slow music grinded the place to a crawl and the fast music picked the place up,
People worked faster, people ate faster, and we made more money.
Plus we were not all dragging around half asleep.

Does slow music make you drink slower?
