The double entendre lyrics are said to be about a lover extending the invitation: “Don’t hesitate – come!” The traditional song “Ko Ma'i Ho'eu'eu (Your Lovely Ma'i)” was recorded by The Brothers Cazimero on their 1998 superlative CD: Destination Paradise. This mele ma`i was composed in praise of the sexual prowess and genitals of a man. Because of depopulation after the Europeans arrived, the continuity of the Hawaiians was deemed essential, and in the late 19th Century King Kalâkaua popularized the motto "Ho`Oulu Lahui" or "increase the race." In this tribute in song he is given the honorific: Halala, meaning overly large. “Tewe Tewe,” where once again the words in Hawaiian do double duty, describing a lover’s beauty and describing the O’opu or Red-Tailed Goby Fish, which also is a metaphor for sexual partners, recorded by Hapa on their collaborative compact disc: Malihini, which is sold only at their concerts. This version of the band featured Ron Kuala’au on 12-Stirng Guitar and Barry Flanagan on vocals and Six-String Guitar, with Nathan Aweau on Bass. “Shores of Hale`iwa” by the Hula Honeys, with Ginger Johnson on Vocal and Guitar and Robyn Kneubuhl on Vocal and Ukulele, is included on the Hawaiian compilation featuring women musicians from the islands of Maui and Hawaii, titled: Wahine. “My Funny Valentine,” the famed song composed by Rodgers & Hart for the 1937 Broadway musical: Babes in Arms, performed by the Ukulele master Benny Chong on his alchemical album: Ukulele Jazz – Live in Concert in Hilo, Hawaii, recorded live at the Palace in Hilo, featuring Byron Yasui on Bass.

The Sammy Davis Jr. Story. “Come In” and “You Wonder How These Things Began” from the very strange 1970 album titled: When Sex Leers Its Inquisitive Head, recorded by the French-born British actor Peter Wyngarde, best known for playing the character Jason King, a bestselling novelist turned sleuth, on British TV in 1968-74.
