    The Pick Hit of The Week "Workin' Hard" by the Olympics is the flip side of "Shimmy Like Kate"

    I remember the Summer of 1960 vividly on KFXM. Out of school and listening all day long. Good to see one of my
    alltime favs come in:
    PINEAPPLE PRINCESS.
    Loved the line:"....in wiki waki
    waikiki.."
    A hook to remember.

    was that anything like "The Hawaiian War Chant" by Spike Jones and His Wacky Wakakians with Chorus from 1951???
    the song went something like, "Ta-Hu-Wa-Hu-Wai..."

    No not at all.
    PINEAPPLE PRINCESS was a great
    pop hit. Those Wiki lyrics
    were a hook. The rest of
    the song was legit.

    Check it out on UTUBE.

    thanks to ANONYMOUS JONES for the tip about catching "Pineapple Princess" over on You-Tube.Com.
    Annette's accompanying video was a nice touch; however, i actually liked the other version that was done by "Na Leo Pilimehana" -- a little less sacharine production which caught my ear.
