I'm fascinated that not one single person has addressed my challenge vis-a-vis "If I say it's Tiki, it's Tiki, so Hank Williams and trilobites are Tiki". That's okay though - it's inarguable and you do me great honor by your continued silence. :)

emspace, don't get mad...

And you wouldn't consider the following mid-century tunes "Tiki music" ??....

Honky Tonk / Rockabilly...

  1. Honolulu Rock-A Roll-A by Moon Mullican
  2. Everybody Does It In Hawaii by Jimmie Rodgers
  3. Hula-Rock by Bill Browning
  4. Bop-A-Hula by Jimmy Newman

Surf music...

  1. Tum-Tiki by the The Enchanters
  2. Bali Hai' by the Irridescents

I do. :)

Also we all pitched in and got you this for Christmas. :D
