Location: big island | what gives?
first i see goober's signature line: "let's talk dirty in hawaiian"
i post a comment that you can talk dirty in hawaii, but not in hawaiian
and now moody's signature line is: "let's talk dirty in hawaii"
is this the rumblings of a future mostest-remotest-spot on-earth, island-style OFC get-together or are you guys just talkin' dirty? |

...and it's common folk-medicine cure Commonawannalaya. |

Location: big island | "lakkanookie" is a white man's disease. there is no lack here.
the remedy is known in hawaii but spelled with a "k" instead of a "c".
the disease and the cure are older than these islands though. |

We have a similar phrase on The Island taht roughly translates into "lakkanookie". It's, quite simply, "JB".

Location: big island | you're correct, nils. i only did a cursory glance of the lyrics and saw how whoever posted the lyrics on the website i visited botched the spelling of several hawaiian words.
i downloaded the song yesterday and john mentions other authentic hawaiian words: aloha, wahine, ukulele, hula and puka. however, he does take many linguistic liberties throughout the song, making it comedic as he intended.
"tiki" is not a traditional hawaiian word.
the song is a good one and typical john prine. surprises me i never heard it before. |

Location: Central Oregon | Well I got one out of two. A nice thing about a song with pre-mangled lyrics is if ya' screw 'em up a little nobody really notices. I slip in a "huma-huma-nuka-nuka-apu-a-a-shish boom ba-a" when I sing it. I can never remember how the last bit goes but I can remember the little fish with the long nose.
I spent two weeks in Kona back in the '80's. Incredibly beautiful place you live in. I would have stayed but I'm a body man & I hate fixing rusty cars.
Btw Lanaki, I watched your video clip & you're playing is very good indeed. You are both impressive to watch & enjoyable to listen to. |

LOL! "rusty" is the most popular car color here. you would definitely have job security.
thanks for the props regarding my video clip. i should probably redo the video under better circumstances though. i was rushed and anticipating delivery of four of my grandkids for me to babysit, which is why i kept watching out the window. |

Location: Central Oregon | I think Hawaii is the only state in the union where most of the people know what makes the windows go up & down in a car door. They know because they can see them work from outside the car through the hole where the outer door skin used to be. Radio antennas look right at home duct taped to the windshield too. :) On the other hand I think of Kona every time I eat one of these black shriveled up egg shaped things that pass for avacados here. I developed a real taste for star fruit too but it's *very* rare here. |
