I am not sure what you consider "tiki" in any of that. Ocean themed tunes? Songs about water?

I am not trying to be a smart-ass, but in my opinion, there really was no "tiki music" before the tiki revival that occurred in the late 90s. Tiki music was Martin denny, Robert Drasnin, Les Baxter, Arthur Lyman. That kind of thing. From the jazz/Hollywood soundtrack world. Nothing to do with punk or rock.

You probably should check out some of the newer bands in the "tiki" scene. Ding Dong Devils, Creepxotica, etc, if you want punk/garage band stuff that still has some relation to today's tiki scene.

My guess is the OP was working on a playlist or something, perhaps for a party - looking for some tunes that might fit in.

Some other suggestions:
Aloha Steve and Danno - Radio Birdman
House of Bamboo - Southern Culture on the Skids
No Aloha - the Breeders
Yellow Bird - Chris Isaak
Voodoo - Chris Isaak

I want to have a Tiki Square dance during this years March Madness playoffs.

So what kind of music do they have that is tiki and you know has a Dosey Doe beat that we can Square dance to.

What kind of tiki drinks will work well with March Madness playoffs AND Square dancing while still having a tiki vibe?

Was thinking about trying to come up with a beer Mai Tai or something like that.

Going to have a custom Tiki Square dance Basketball Bob mug made.

" Swing your partner round and round Bounce that B Ball up and down"
"Come on player don't Be a hater if your girl acts up just kick her out the elevator"

"Moai to the left, Moai to the right, beer Mai Tai got em wound up tight"

The band will be those Star wars guys with Fezzes on.
Going to wear my Lego Batman Halloween costume to the event, that is all for charity.

You might want to check out Hula Punk. They put out a studio CD in 2005 covering such gems as:

"Ever Fallen in Love..." by the Buzzcocks, and "Anarchy in the UK" by the Sex Pistols (duh).

Here's a video clip of them performing Blitzkriegbop.

That was ok, what was that steel drum band that did heavy metal?
That was more creative.

Love the Ramones.
Used to play Thin Lizzy in my bar just to hack off the tiki nutz and cuz I love em.

File Tiki basketball under F-that.

Real punk.

Here is the 2 Cellos bout as punk as you can get in this day and age IMHO.
They put their own hard edge spin to a rock song on Cellos!
To me that's punk like.
More rock, but a punk ideology.

Sex pistols very punk, doing a non punk song, it's so bad it's good, just like their version of Road runner.

Tiki punk would be Sid Vicious doing a version of Bali Hai.

To me punk needs a hard creative edge.

Sorry for the nit pick.
