#344753 - 05/14/12 06:42 PM Need Hawaiian suggestions for a Luau
Beakybird Senior Member Registered: 01/27/01 Posts: 2227	Uh oh, I got a luau on Thursday that I said that I can do. OK, I know Tiny Bubbles Blue Hawaii My Little Grass Shack Hawaiian Wedding Song Pearly Shells Hawaiian War Chant Lovely Hula Hands Theme to Hawaii Five-0 What other Hawaiian songs should I learn? What other songs have you thrown into a Luau to stretch your repertoire? Would it be ok to throw in a couple of Beach Boys songs. Would it be ok to play The Girl From Ipanima or Yellow Bird (Harry Belafonte) to stretch the time? They both have a tropical feel, but it's the wrong part of the world. Thanks in advance!

Beach Boys, Buffet, Bob Marley would be good too. Good luck! _________________________ It not the keyboard, it's the keyboardist. www.youtube.com/channel/UCV94i--V-A8kZShmGTKyDOw https://www.facebook.com/elgrupocache

This was a BIG hit, tied in with "What a Wonderful World" ... unfortunately, due to his weight problems he died at a very young age ... Hawaii is SO beautiful ... too bad the luau isn't actually THERE, bb ... Edited by tony mads usa (05/15/12 11:40 AM) _________________________ t.
