I will be stopping by today to meet up with our good friend Grog and check out his new slim caveman frame.

Grog EAT NO SUGAR!!!!!UGG

Also he will be showing us the Brown Version of the Primitive Mug...come by and check it out.

TT

Glad to hear your comin' back to the Hut today Rory, especially since I didn't get a group shot last week!
...and GROG too, he wasn't even there last week. Maybe that's because GROG would have to drink "Tiki Water." :wink:

Hey, does anybody know the lyrics to the Hawiian Eye theme? We can sing along when Marty Lush plays the song!

TT

I found these...

Theme Song Lyrics
Title: "Hawaiian Eye"
By: "Mack David & Jerry Livingston"

Hawaiin Eye.
Hawaiin Eye.
Hawaiin Eye.

The soft island breeze brings you strange melodies
And they tell of exotic mysteries under the tropical spell of
Hawaiin Eye.
Hawaiin Eye.
Hawaiin Eye.

Where love and adventure await
This is your fate
And you can not stray from
You can't run away from
Hawaiin Eye.
Hawaiin Eye.
Hawaiin Eye.

Hawaiin Eye Theme Lyrics

Hawaiin Eye by Mack David and Jerry Livingston - Hawaiin Eye Lyrics

Hawaiin Eye.
Hawaiin Eye.
Hawaiin Eye.

The soft island breeze brings you strange melodies
And they tell of exotic mysteries under the tropical spell of
Hawaiin Eye.
Hawaiin Eye.
Hawaiin Eye.

Where love and adventure await
This is your fate
And you can not stray from
You can't run away from
Hawaiin Eye.
Hawaiin Eye.
Hawaiin Eye.

Beat me by that much....

Awesome!

As far as I knew, the lyrics consisted of the sound of a cat being strangled, then "Hawaiian Eye!" over and over and over...

Just warbled along with the "Sven A Kirsten Presents The Sound Of Tiki" version (the version described above) and in the musical interludes, the rest of the lyrics totally fit!

I'm set! (Unless I forget the lyrics, which I undoubtably will)

And that Get Smart pic makes me think that maybe we should get DJ Lush to play some classic TV themes tonight too!

J

i'll be there a little bit later... see any of you stragglers who happen to still be there!

A big screen TV in the mid-century authentic Tiki bar ?? !! :evil:

Hopefully it will be televising some Dorothy Lamour South Seas movie or Gilligan's Island episodes and NOT the Super Bowl.

Isn't that the point of the TONGA Bowl, a refuge from that other bowl ?? :)

I assume the Tonga Bowl is some sort of communal drink....

Hey, it's been a year ... any updates??

We looked at the date at the start of the thread and wanted to say that we were in DTB for dinner about a week before this happened (almost to the day). We saw Marie at the bar but we'd left without stopping by to say hi, which we regret because that night---

she made us the hands-down best mai-tai we've ever had in our life. Seriously! Strong, refined, deeply amber, pointing tartly of lime, just super perfect. And come to think of it, she made the best Jungle Jetsetter we ever had too, but that goes without saying...
(We actually wonder what mai-tai recipe Marie was using because we were in the other night and their mai-tais are nothing at all like how she made 'em.)

Of course we all want to Go to this on Sunday to celebrate Marie's recovery.
But for me the paragraph above says it all,
and is also a great reason to go to the Tonga Hut this Sun.

This is really shaping up to be a VERY special Sunday at the Tonga Hut!
Looking forward to seeing lots of friends, old and new, experiencing the glory of the new and improved TH, tasting some amazingly delicious craft cocktails, listening to some of the best music anywhere, and most importantly, celebrating Marie's continued health!

TT

Looking forward to Marie's mixology this Sunday!!!

Who's going?

Jeff(btd)

Today!!!
Me...I know, big surprise. It will be our third night in a row at TH.
Looking forward to seeing some not-so-regulars...and regular regulars too!
In case you couldn't make it out for Amy's birthday last night, I'm sure we'll be continuing the celebration tonight as well.
