The theme for my show last week was "Tiki Road Trip": songs about driving, highways, etc, with stops at tiki bars along the way. i found songs about (or at least titled after) The Tonga Hut, Otto's Shrunken Head, Don The Beachcomber, Three Dots And A Dash, Tiki Ti, and The Mai Kai. Some bars have multiple songs about them. Otto's has three that I know of, but I just played one. Playlist/listen here: https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/154556

But I couldn't find any songs about Trader Vic's! (As much as I love Warren Zevon, I don't think "Werewolves of London" really counts.) Are there any? Or other bar songs that I missed?

Anyway, next week (this Friday) the episode will be entitled "UNDERSEA WONDERS w/your host Squid Vicious" featuring YOU! Well, some of you. TC all-stars like Sailor Solomon, Exotitronic Collective, and Tiki Vibes will be thrown in the deep along with assorted surf/exotic/lounge/soundtrack/weirdness. And jokes. Some really bad jokes.

Plus, I will attempt to announce while gargling. You cant get that on Spotify!
