  3. “When Hilo Hattie Does the Hilo Hop” the 1936 song by Don McDiarmid and Johnny Noble, was sung by the celeritous celebrity with her own clothing line, Hilo Hattie (Kalapa Clarissa Haili, a/k/a “The Hooligan of Hula”) With the Royal Hawaiian Girls Glee Club, found on the ample anthology: Territorial Airwaves – Radio Hula.

  5. “Bon Bon” was daringly derived from the 1960 rhythmical recording by the famed Joe Loco (whose real name was Jose Estevez), appearing on Piano on his 1961 lunatic LP Going Loco, with Jose Lozano on Flute, Bayardo Velarde and Rudy Calzado on Vocals, Jose “Chombo” Silva, Gonzalo Martinez and Felix Legaretta on Violins, Mongo Santamaría on Conga Drums, Nicholas Martinez on Guiro (Percussion Scraping Gourd) and Willie Bobo on Timbales.

  7. “Sorte” or “Luck” in English, written by the Cape Verdean composer Teofilo Chantre, was sung by Cesaria Evora on her superblatitious CD: Café Altlantico, referring to her home in the Cape Verdean city of Mindelo, where she frequently entertained guests.
