They sing great. When I was in gradeschool in Lake Isabella many Years ago I had A Hawaiian teacher named Mrs Luce and she taught us this song and this little country boy had such of A crush on her. I had forgotten most of it thru the years but now I can hear it again. Great memories from an Awesome childhood

Interestingly, the original version of the song was actually a love song whose title translates to "we two in the spray". It was written in the 1860s by Prince Leleiohoku II and describes a clandestine meeting between two lovers, possibly the prince and an unknown woman. In the 1930s the current lyrics were matched to an uptempo version of the original melody and surpassed the original which is a bit of a shame as they are very beautiful.

@uptheundagrnd This song was written in the 1860's, but became popular in the 40's when the nation was catching Hawaiian fever, and it didn't matter whether or not the lyrics were accurate Hawaiian, or even real, just as long as they sounded Hawaiian. If written today, they would have to make it true words. The song became a hit regardless, as seen as its use in the finale of "Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room" at Disneyland.

It took me 3 years to track this song down. It features in Hi Di Hi . Gladys Pugh sings it at the poolside during the “South Sea Island leg over race “ The BBC couldn’t trace the title. The subtlety of using it in that particular scene was almost missed. Little bit of trivia for ya .

They were a fantastic singing pair and really made the show even more enjoyable.

Welk has been criticized all through the years as being just elevator music, but there is a place for a purely pleasant presentation of familiar music. What Welk did is really a tribute to the originals. This pleasant presentation of Hawaiian like music is a tribute to the music of another culture. It would seem to me that the idea of assimilating new comers [malahini] into the culture is also an Hawaiian concept not to be forgotten. It is foolishness to think this is meant to be authentic.

Anyway, some time in 30s, a composer named Johnny Noble "americanized" the music and independently Ralph Freed made up some English lyrics that the girls sing here as the third verse. So, this tune has been around in one form or another for a very long time. You can be offended if you want or you can celebrate the fact that a little ditty written by a Hawaiian prince has been around for almost 150 years and still maintains some degree of popularity!

Lighten up. This aired in the midst of the Polynesian Pop movement which has recently experienced a resurgence. Is it genuine Hawaiian culture or history? No. Is it US history? Yes. Hawaii and the South Pacific had a huge influence on American popular culture in the 40s-70s. Tiki arose as the Americanized ideal of the South Pacific paradise. People from those cultures should use that interest to educate people about their culture rather than being offended and saying Poly Pop shouldn't exist.

Judging from some of these responses some PC Police and even some claiming to be Hawaiian don't really know the history of this song. Maybe you should do a little research before getting offended at the drop of a hat! This is a very old song written in 1860 by Prince Leleiohaku. It was actually about two lovers and the English translation of the title is "We Two in the Spray." I have not read how it became known in America as the "Hawaiian War Chant".

Well it's not the Ha'a, but at least it shows there was interest in the culture of the kanaka maoli in the 60's. As much offense as some have taken to this (judging from the posted comments), at least we can say that the perspective of the Hawaiian culture has evolved from a form of entertainment in the 60's back to a culture to be admired and respected today. Perhaps this shows how much progress we have as well as how much further we have to go? ^^;

Hawaiians I met in the islands seem to be more hurt by the Japanese and the multimillionaires who have come to their islands and driven the economy into a superinflation spiral by buying up Hawaiian lands at a ridiculous rate. I just came back from there and spoke at length with several Hawaiians about it. The "blame-white-people-for-everything" mentality is just not there. But I know a lot of white people who fervently believe it is. They're self-loathing liars--or fools.

Well, I'm not going to blame anyone who is offended by the fake Englich "lyrics" as long as they know the meaning of lyrics (see my comment about "gay" earlier). Heck, when the song was Americanized it went from a love song to a "war chant". That's offensive in my book! I was just commenting on the multitude of responses ripping on the song and the women without understanding the song and its origins at all.

Considering the year of filming - 1968 = midst of the Civil Rights Movement. Yes, whoever wrote the song must have had good intentions and just wanted to write a little diddy about the joy experienced from the Hawaiian culture, but probably failed in knowing the full meaning behind the chant. I am not Hawaiian, but given the time period, I can see how it can be seen as offensive. It turned what was probably a sacred chant into mainstream entertainment garbage.

It was a love song originally, sung slower and more reverently. It's damn sure not the first song on the planet that was rewritten to entertain other audiences. If it's supposedly irreverent then why are Pacific Islanders singing it here and in a half dozen places in Oahu and Maui, almost daily? I was just on both islands this month and this "shame on white people" attitude is NOT PRESENT there. If anything, they're peeved at the Japanese millionaires who've come to the islands and raised the cost of living to nearly unbearable levels with their land grabs. Ask them yourself if you are ever able to visit any part of the Hawaiian isles.

The so-called "Hawaiian War Chant" is symbolic of the bastardization of Hawaiian culture. The transition of Leleiohoku's original love song to this "ever-lovin' gay Hawaiian war chant" is sad. I say this as a Hawaiian who likes to laugh at this sort of thing, and to document and study it. But I cringe at the same time. If it's not your culture being mocked, it's hard to understand how people can be angered by something which, to you, seems innocuous. Believe me - stuff like this can be nasty.
