From a recent article in the Chicago Tribune .... What music are you listening to at home these days? Well, I've been on the road for several months now, so I haven't been able to listen to anything at home. When I am home, I listen to new music in my car, and in the house I listen to whatever my daughter Nina is into. Currently that would be the theme song from [the Disneyland attraction] the Enchanted Tiki Room. Over and over and over and over. That makes me smile. When Weird Al is overexposed to Disney tiki music, good things have got to result.

Depends if it's the original with Paul Frees or the Hillary Duff version off the Disneymania CD. [ Edited by: KING BUSHWICH THE 33RD 2007-08-31 08:45 ]

I once had "White & Nerdy" on repeat for over an hour. The most humongous part of his musical genius, though, is in his polka arrangements of modern hits. His version of Kanye West's "Gold Digger" is outstanding.

I think we should send him a copy of King Kukulele's CD. Sign the card: Aloha, Tiki Central Who's the secretary here? For real though - if you find the address - I'll gift the CD to him. I love the Polka heritage anyway being from Cleveland and all... (I knew one day the polka and tiki worlds would collide. I half expect Brave Combo to come out with a uke CD someday.)

His music always makes me lough, he is so incredibly creative. I think it is really cool that he also listens to tiki music! It is good stuff and he seems to know that!

He must really like tikis. Is he a TC member?
