anyone knows the Band? The Film? And more like that?

(big thanks to Helga from Augsburg for the tip!)

I thought it would make sense to share here all the links to youtube and archive.org under one topic

Here is another nice one:

Soundie - [Hawaiian Hula Song] (ca. 1940s)
Could this be "ANA LANI" with Ray Kinney?

Nope its actually..

Title reads: "The Kalua Islanders - Pic Musical".

Pathe Studios, London.

Hawaiian-style band, the Kalua Islanders, sing popularised Hawaiian number. Singer plays guitar, he is accompanied by another musician playing steel lap guitar. A woman in a grass skirt does a wiggly hula dance in front of them. The set looks like a beach on a tropical island.

..i've downloaded the archive.org version yonks ago for a project, but recently i spotted the complete film with the title frames on the British pathe news archive..

...in fact there is loads of great stuff on Pathe..

Thanks for posting that KK. Your Looney Tunes cover of that version of Tabou is also a long time favorite of mine!

Dig the other stuff too from that same youtube contributor, Dardanella. The Jokers' Spanish Hully Gully is great, and cool to see the Tielman Bros.

Elvis Presley - This is my Heaven/Drums of the Islands

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIg2gXFgNyQ&feature=PlayList&p=3EBBC0BD4140EB64&index=17

the tune Drums of the Island is actually a cover of the Fiji tune called 'Bula Laie'. To bad that the originally version that you can see in the film is not on the soundtrack. Anyone know if these recordings from the group of the Polynesian cultural Centre where released?

Here is a youtube video I posted from the 1963 Japanese movie "Hawaii no Wakadaisho" (English title: "Young Guy in Hawaii") starring Yuzo Kayama. He was in a series of movies kinda like the Elvis movies, with all kinds of hijinks interspersed with RnR. Since this movie is in Hawaii, there's some great scenes, including this twist number "Sweetest of All". Seeing a bunch of hula dancers doing the twist at a nighttime Hawaiian dance party in 1963 is like heaven for me. I wanna be there! Yuzo is known for his movies and his music, including some classic vocals and also some classic instrumentals ("eleki"-style), like "Running Donkey" and "Black Sand Beach".

The original clip is in super Cine-rama-round-o-scope, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to display in wide format like that instead of how youtube automatically squished it to fit their aspect ratio.

Hopefully more to come in the future.

(edited 4/3/07 to update the link to a better upload of the same vid, this time with the aspect ratio figgered out)

We have put together a promo video for our upcoming debut album "Big Pounder" due to be released on March 27th on Double Crown Records. The video is pretty simple with just the song set to some gnarly surfing footage. Check it out if you haven't seen it already. I think the footage worked really well with the song, creating a nice dramatic effect.

The CD can be pre-ordered from Double Crown Records. Just click on the Surfites link to the right of the album cover.

Hey, looks like a great spot for a shameless plug:


http://www.yoyoisland.com/tiki-tube.htm

The Demented Menehunes are pulling together "Tropixotica"-themed videos from YouTube & MySpace (and we're working on setting up the software to allow our island visitors direct video upload soon) -- a sort of "editorial selection" of what's floating around Out There...

We welcome exactly the kind of suggestions on this thread, so fire a flare --
[email protected]
-- and let us know what you think, and what you'd like to see included!

Mahalo, cheers, and aloha!


"Don't let it be forgot,
That once there was a Spot,
Where Blowfish all wore sunglasses,
and Tiki-times were hot..."

Hey, just an update on my earlier post with a Yuzo Kayama video from "Hawaii no Wakadaisho" (aka "Young Guy in Hawaii"). Just uploaded a better dub of the same video, this time with the aspect ratio fixed so they don't all look like Yao Ming. The new upload is here.

Also have a couple other songs from that movie up on youtube now, including this nice and very catchy Hawaiian song from the end of the movie.

BTW, it was VirtualDubMod that I used to get these clips to show up better.

Posted a couple more youboob videos recently...

Video clip of a gogo record dance party from the 1964 movie, Get Yourself A College Girl. No doubt the club is a set, but it's got some tikis and looks like the place to be. The song is Bony Moronie from the Standells. Also I could swear Lori Williams is one of the dancers.

Another Yuzo Kayama movie clip, this time from the 1962 Japanese movie, Young Guy in Ginza (aka Ginza no Wakadaisho). This is Yuzo playing with a Hawaiian band during a little fashion show.

-Randy

I didn't see this one in the thread--Charles Laughton in The Beachcomber! (recommended by the Bum)

http://www.archive.org/details/TheBeachcomber

Mmmmmm.....Free!

I'll have to watch it tomorrow.yawn

Aaah...cool. Next I would really like to see the early 60s TV series "The Beachcomber" with Cameron Mitchell in the title role (I used to love him in "High Chapparal")...a contemporary of Hawaiian Eye and Adventures in Paradise....only 12 episodes were made.

That's the movie with a scene featuring Astrud Gilberto and Stan Getz doing "Girl From Ipanema". I still haven't seen this movie because it's sadly not on DVD.

Edit: Ah... I see you also posted that clip as well! Thanks for that! All the previous clips of it were of terrible quality.

One of the classics of "Tiki Lounge on film" are of course the night clubs scenes from "I am Cuba":

http://youtube.com/watch?v=qUINE6CrrDc&feature=related

The wonderful opening song of that scene, "Loco Amor", has unfortunately not made it on U-Tube yet, but the great bar and some of the bar's Trader Vic's Havana Hilton lamps can be seen in the first half of this clip...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Y8Ld0w44ZnI&feature=related

...which unfortunately turns music video-ish after a while.
