Since your polite request worked, maybe that’s what we all should do: order drinks, leave a nice tip, then ask with a smile, “Hey buddy, got any tiki music for us tonight?” And perhaps the owners need to make it clear from day one that this joint is 100% tiki, and the appropriate music will be the regular soundtrack. The customers can take it or leave it. Like I said before, Frankie’s in Vegas and LA’s Tonga Hut just play tiki music, and they’re super popular. Think Top40 is “what the people want”? Play Mariah Carey at Frankie’s and see how well THAT goes down.
