I recently went to Shameful Tiki in Toronto and they had country music playing. I politely asked the bartender if he might be able to play something a little more appropriate for a tiki bar. He asked me what I had in mind, so I suggested exotica, surf, Hawaiian, etc. He shrugged and said different tiki bars have different ideas about what tiki music is. But then he changed the playlist and we had a nice exotica playlist going for the rest of the night. I suspect this is a bartender thing--they probably think no one cares, so they play what they want to hear.
