HAWAII CALLS

[Music] There are some words to get acquainted with here in Hawaii. Oh, everybody knows. Of course, how means finished. Wikiwiki means hurry it up in a nice uh leisure sort of way. Of course, alo means where are you? It also means are you with it. And the usually queenly singer of romantic ballad how Nani is right with it as she sings one of the gay songs of the white key in crowd oi. [Music] Oh, hell away. [Music] away. Oh, [Music] my oy [Music] Have you ever tried it? >> Have you ever tried it? The yucka hoola. The yucky hiki hoola. >> It's a little wacky, but there's nothing like a hoola. The yakahi hoola. Won't you come and try it? Won't you come and try it? Play the yucka hickey hula. The yucky hickey hoola. Show them how to wiggle. From here to go. Shake it over here. Shake it over here. Now way over there. Way over there. All around the island. You do the yummy yummy. And you'll be happy and gay. Shake it over here. Shake it over here. Now way over there. Way over there. All around the island. You do the yummy yummy. And you'll be happy and gay. Hip hip hip hooray and fall in line into the hood and you'll be happy and gay. The sea is a restless mistress and no matter how sincerely his heart is given to another love on shore, the true seafaring man cannot long resist her call. As inevitably as the bamboo bending in the wind, the sailor like Ed Kenny must follow the call of the sea. Bamboo is bending like maidens the tri while sailors go wending their seas without ending. and sailors [Music] love maidens who sigh. The bamboo is bending while she waits for me. [Music] Like dreams in the mending each sail she's pretending will come back. her love from the sea. So softly she whispered, "I love you. Don't leave me, my darling. Don't go." So softly I whispered, "I love you." But softly I glide, for I sailed with the tide. How sadly the trade winds can blow. The bamboo is falling where trade winds crest. The southern cross calling and gently enthralling the maiden I long to possess. Oh, wait for my sail on the blending of water and starridden sky. Where always the bamboo is bending like maidens who bend down to cry. [Music] The bamboo is bending while she waits for me. [Music] Oh, wait for my sail on the blending of water and starridden sky. Where always the bamboo is bending like maidens who bend down to cry. The bamboo is bending like maidens that crawl. The bamboo is bending. Now, many artists have at least one song that's a kind of personal trademark. What our old friend Hilo Hattie has many of these and one a perennial request wherever she appears is her own song about the more than slightly mixed up mayor of a certain village on the island of Hokkai. Oh, he wore a malo and a coconut hat. One was for this and the other. The people shouted as he went by. He was the top guy. He may often [Music] boy, but all the girls were crazy to share his fish and po. Oh, he bore a lake and he wore a smile. Drank a gallon of to make life worthwhile. Made him laugh till he made him cry. He was cut. And the horse he rode was not so fast. Only made six miles a day. So he placed some toy and locally how right into the horse's head. He made her buck and he made her fly all over the island. A molo kite. You could hear the wahin cheer as they gave him a lake of. Now you've heard my story about the mayor of Katakai [Music] in all his fame and glory on the island of Moai. Oh, he bore a malo and a coconut hat. One was for this and the other for that. The people shouted as he went by. He was copy. [Music] >> He was a kah. He was >> He was [Music] of Kaku of Kakai. >> The bird watchers of our islands find many strange and wonderful birds of many colors. We found a new species of the bird of paradise. There just may be only four of these in existence. The brilliant huge graceful genus Hilton hoola tpicoria. Birds of paradise so gracefully they fly and pretty as a picture like rainbows in the sky. The humming birds of paradise sing with the rippling vine in river of the train winds that rustle through the PS rivers lovely as the sun And blue birds match the evening sky. Green birds like the pretty bies and yellow birds like the golden moon. And when the evening shadows fall, all stars appear to bless this lovely island and the birds of parise. Red birds longly as the sun set and blue birds match the evening skies. Green birds like the pretty valley and yellow birds like the golden moon. And when the evening shadows fall, a million stars appear to bless this lovely island. And the birds of [Music] Sooner or later, almost every visitor to these islands entertains the thought of giving up everything and staying right here, living the carefree life of a beach call. We have to admit that pony pon makes it sound very attractive. >> I love to wonder by the sea, blue skies over me. Oh yeah, I'm a Roma beach. I love the wind in my hair. Salt spray in the air. Oh yeah, I'm a I make my home by the shore so I can hear the waves roar and count all the stars in the sky. I'm as free as a breeze and I do as I please. I could even teach the birds how to fly. I take the sea and the sand over any piece of land. Oh yeah, I'm a Roma. Oh, beach coma. [Music] I make my home by a shore so I can hear the waves roar and watch all the girls walking by. My trusty surfboard by my side. I give all the chicks a ride. Oh yeah, those bikinis catch my eyes. I take the sea and the sand over any piece of land. Oh yeah, I'm a Roma. Beach coma. Oh yeah, I am a Roma. Beach coma. Oh yeah, I'm a [Music] beach. Oh yeah. One of the island's loveliest classic hoola dancers is Lonnie, whose graceful hands are like Hawaiian will of the wisps dancing in a cone of breeze. Beyond the where the sea is dark and cold. My love has gone and our dreams grow old. There'll be no tears. There will be no regret. Will he me? Will he forive? I'll send a thousand lives. When the trade winds blow, I'll send my lonely heart. For I love him so [Music] I know he'll come back again to me. Till then my heart will be under. I'll send the thousand flowers when the great winds blow. I'll send my lonely heart for I love him so [Music] I know he'll come back again to me. Till then my heart will be beyond [Music] the [Music] Hawaii is now proud state the 50th star in the flag. Pride may never runth before a fall here because of the native sense of humor. I sometimes suspect that the more serious a subject, the more fun they'll have poking fun at themselves. It's their own little domestic system of check and balance. And here's Ed Kenny and his friend Moi. The two senators from Hawaii. >> Hey Moi, wake up. I str you. We run for Senate USA. Borrow ukulele. I sing, you dance for state of A. We make big chance. Oh, >> pull up the new flag. We cateya. I like you from the 50th state. Hey mo, listen to me.

Aloha. We celebrate. I like you meet to Senator from the 50th state. Two senator from the 50th. [Music] Everywhere we turn in these islands of Hawaii are scenes of natural color and beauty. And each day the mainland visitors take pictures to show the folks back home. Green craggy mountains and misty valleys with waterfalls and shorelines of blue and gold. And yet it's almost certain that on any day the most pictures will be taken of Hoola girls. And here by the sea, we're watching the Hilton Hoola and one of those exciting dances of the South Pacific, Takaroa. [Music] Bye. [Music] Fire. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Oh god. [Music] Sweet Leilani is still one of the enduring favorites of the islands. A classic of musical enchantment as timeless as the island beauty that surrounds Ed Kenny as he sings to the heavenly flower, Leilani. Sweet lean, heavenly flower, nature fashioned roses kissed with dew. And then she placed them in a b. It was the start of you sweet lean. Heavenly flower tropic skies are jealous as they shine. I think they're jealous of your blue eyes. eyes. Jealous because you're mine. [Music] Oh, lovely lean. My lovely lean, sweet lean, heavenly flower, I dreamed of paradise for two. You are my paradise completed. You are my dream come true. [Music] You are my dream come [Music] true. Here [Music] on the island of Aahu, the thing to do is take a trip around the island, starting at the landmark Diamond Head. [Music] [Applause] [Music] either [Music] with a driver guide to point out the highlights or for the more independent type, you try it with a do-it-yourself map and guide book like Mary Joe Flanders did. >> She took a trip around the island of her Hawaiian holiday. She took a trip around the island and she turned around and went the other way. >> I came to Hawaii just a week ago. As green ai mahi as you'll ever know. But I've become a native now. So listen closely and I'll tell you how. I chugged along from Diamond Head to Maroon and tried to do what every tourist ought to do. That thing they called the boho was too much for me. It washed and nearly washed me out to sea. I took a trip around the island on my Hawaiian holiday. I took a trip around the island. Then I turned around and went the other way. I thought I should go to see the Polly, too. Cuz all the other tourists raved about the view. I started up the mountains. My car wouldn't go. And when you got to push, it's mighty slow. I came to a sign that led the sacred fall and followed a stream up to the canyon wall. I slipped on a pajaku and that isn't all. I took a most unsacred kind of ball. I ate a piece of sugar cane out of way and cracked myself a coconut at me. I asked the natives where to find a pineapple tree. If you can find, I'd like to see. She took a trip around the island on her Hawaiian model. She took a trip around the island. Then she turned around and went the other way. >> Now I've learned the language and a dance or two and put another inch or so on my o the other way. I think I'd rather settle down and stay. >> She took a drink around the island of her Hawaiian Halloween day. She took a trip around the island and she turn around and went the other way. [Music] As Hawaii's people emerged from primitive stages and into other ways of living, they also grew to appreciate the value of education and travel abroad. And uh people who could afford it would send their children across the Pacific to school. Now, the day of departure for little princesses must have been a pretty exciting day in their lives. P. P. [Music] O a [Applause] P e [Music] for how oche. [Music] U A E Oh Eolapo. [Music] for [Music] [Music] we call for [Music] I'm going to California. When I return, we'll be married. What do you want me to bring you? And this was her answer. A hat with a crooked crown, a pair of high heel shoes, a shaw with a fringe, a scallop petty coat, and a short tight dress. I'm going to California. [Applause] >> Rendevous for lovers and for all of us who find romance in unusual places is the beautiful cocoa palms on the island of Kawaii. And on a small bridge, Lonnie and Ed Kenny sing the poetry and music of all Hawaiian lovers. The betroal song Aloha Makamay. I'll say alone for just to lay a They maring. [Music] Will you take my heart? >> I will take your heart >> forever more. >> Forever more. [Music] Oh go [Music] [Music] hand in hand and Hand in hand through life. Oh my Oh, hey. Who I am? [Music] Oh, my [Music] The song Follow Me is a promise of adventure just around the corner. And here on Kawaii Island in this green and blue setting on the winding Wuawa River, we follow the rich voice of Hani. An adventure maybe just round the next bend. >> Come with me to the islands. Come my love. Follow follow me under the lure of pure enchantment. Love will unfold her golden mystery all night long. Long I will hold you till the stars slip into the sea.

Love is waiting. Follow. Follow me. Soft and friendly as the climate may be, and enchanting as the terrain is in Hawaii, children still occasionally feel misunderstood, they sometimes find their favorite dreaming spot to, well, maybe even consider running away. Happily, the right touch is all they need to bring them home and give their parents a second chance. Happy talk. Keep talking. Happy talk. Talk about things you'd like for do. You got to have a dream if you don't have a dream. How you going to have a dream come true? [Music] Talk about a moon floating in the sky looking like a lily on a lake. Talk about a bird.

Me counting all the ripples on the sea. Happy. Keep talking the happy. Talk about things you'd like or do. >> You got to have a dream. If you don't have a dream, >> how you going to have a dream come true? >> Talk about a boy saying to the girl, "Golly baby, I'm a lucky cuss."
