Love this old picture of a Hawaiian luau, circa 1963. At some point, this song must have been sung:
The Hukilau Song
Oh we're going to a Hukilau
A huki huki huki huki Hukilau
Everybody loves the Hukilau
Where the laulau is the kaukau at the lû`au
We throw our nets out into the sea
And all the `ama`ama come a-swimming to me
Oh, we're going to a Hukilau
A huki huki huki Hukilau
What a beautiful day for fishing
That old Hawaiian way
Where the Hukilau nets are swishing
Down in old Lâ`ie bay
Oh, noooooo
ReplyDeleteThat song will be stuck in my brain all day. The only way to get rid of it is to replace it with another song, such as Captain and Tenille's 'Love will Keep Us Together.' And then that one will be stuck in my brain all day.
P.S. Hope you got the cards I sent you. If not, the mailman's in trouble.
Looks like the Hilton Hawaiian Village! You know I lived there for three years and never attended a luau! But we had Tahitian neighbors who brought us some poi once and we didn't care for it at all!
