Hello all,

I'd like to start a thread of great tiki bar music that's not exotica, island, etc. That is, ordinary songs or albums in any style that for whatever reason sound great in a tiki bar.

I'll start this off with two very different suggestions:

  1. The Andrew Sisters, "Rum and Coca-Cola."
    Like most of their stuff, this has a shore-leave-in-WWII sound to it. The lyrics describe hot sex and cold drinks in Trinidad.

  2. The Ramones, "Somebody Put Something In My Drink." Typically Ramones, only more intoxicated.

Who has another idea?

Cheers,
Blue Moose
