Songs About Tiki Bars (and other radio news) - Tiki Music

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! https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/154811 [ Edited by MrFab on 2025-08-04 12:06:54 ] [ Edited by MrFab on 2025-08-04 14:46:06 ]

Not sure if one considers Hawaii's old Barefoot Bar a tiki place..? If you do, The Polynesians recorded "At The Barefoot Bar".

Will have to keep an eye out for the album. But the Polynesians "at the barefoot bar" looks widely available, so I'll be grabbing that one. mahalo!
