I have the great good fortune to be at a hotel on Kauai right now. I heard a great, swinging version of Hawaiian War Chant on the piped-in music last night. I wonder if it was Jerry Byrd but so far my googling and youtube searching hasn't found it.

It was in a very peppy swing feel, sounded like there were at least 2 tracks of steel - one playing the melody and one playing harmonics behind it - and there were at least two percussion solos, although one of them might have been surf-style muted 6th string on electric guitar.

Does this description ring a bell with anyone?

I recorded most of it (although I missed the beginning) on my iphone, and if I can figure out how/where to do it I will post it and I will put a link here.

Thanks!

Cool!

I still love the version by Spike Jones and his Wacky Waikikians. Freddie (Looney Tunes) Tavares on steel. Cracks me up every time.

I'd heard the title of this tune before but never really knew what it was...listened to it the other week and realized...I know this one!! Wife is a Disneyland fanatic (with all my expensive vices I suppose she deserves at least one)....
