You're right about that... <g> Other people have posted the Disney
words, so I thought I'd just mention what that song originally is -- the
very funny 'Hawaiian War Chant' by Spike Jones, a musical comedian of
the 40s and 50s -- the predecessor of Dr. Demento, Weird Al Yankovic,
P.D.Q. Bach, and most other American musical parodists and comedians.
As it happens, Jones's music was very good -- and very funny, and much
of it was and is popular. The Hawaiian War Chant is just a goofy,
original song, full of silly 'war'-noises but no words, and is rather
hilarious. If you liked the Disney version I suggest checking out one
of Spike Jones's records (most of which have been re-released on CD; the
recent Rhino big compilation is far the best), because they're great!
Just a bit of history, and a plug for one of my favorite musicians/
comedians of all time (... whose music I first became interested in,
btw, when my mother mentioned the name in connection with the Hawaiian
War Chant after we'd seen The Lion King en masse, and I had started
raving about Timon. :) O, the things one can learn from a meerkat. (Not
to mention from Mom... Hi, Mom! <wave> ;)

I'd be interested in hearing/seeing the original lyrics, if you

: (my brother inexplicably made a bunch of stupid music videos to them
: when he was about ten-- and they're still funny!)...
*HOOOO* boy.... do you _know_ what you're asking?? ;) The
Haiwaiian War Chant is an anomaly for Jones because, instead of being a)
a paroday of a currently popular song or b) combining antertaining
lyrics with hilarious sound effects, it's just a nonsense song -- an
amazingly entertaining nonsense song (enough to make it one of the
biggest records of 1946), but it's the music that makes it; it's a
showcase for the silly sounds of the City Slickers (Spike's band).
I SHALL post the lyrics, though! Just for you, and just because
I haven't had an excuse to listen to Spike in altogether too long. :)
This version (and any/all accompanying info) comes off one of my
top 5 favorite albums -- "The Spike Jones Anthology: A Musical
Depreciation Revue." It's a double set recently put out by the
eager-to-please Rhino Records; it's easily recognizable from the
purple cover (and the crazed-looking, square-faced man with the plaid
suit and the bicycle horn on the front <g>.) And as far as I'm
concerned, the forty tracks on it are worth twice the 30 bucks I had to
pay for it in the store. Thees ees a _veddy_ funny man. :)
OK, so: a) This is transcribed as I sit listening to the record.
Given that the song is not in fact _in_ any language known to man -- and
I highly doubt there are any "official" lyrics -- your mileage
would/will probably vary; but you'll get the general gist.
b) The stuff with '*' in front of it doesn't actually appear in
the song; I took a listen to figure out where Timon's luau song (the
tune of which is a much-compressed and slightly altered version of this;
the original Hawaiian War Chant is about two and a half minutes long)
parallels the music, and made a little note of it. ;) Ain't I thorough?
(Oh -- the lyrics for Timon's song are listed in entirety in the
preceding posts, if you want 'em.)
c) A couple of numbered footnotes appear at the bottom.
d) It is _so_ weird to try to transcribe this song without the
music! The nonsense words may resonante with you if you grew up with
the music, but to all those of you who didn't: do what I did and give
Spike a try. (Be forewarned that you're *probably* gonna be permanently
warped by the experience... ;)
e) Any comments, criticisms, or flames -- fire away, sirs! =)
So, without further ado, heeeeere's --
Spike Jones's Hawaiian War Chant (aka Ta-Hu-Wa-Hu-Wai): (c. 1946)
(slow intro: ukeleles, trilling birds)
Background Chorus (slow): Alo-ha hoi...... (1)
alo-ha hoi...
i ke o, na ho na ho...
hi ka liii-aa....
ooo ooo-oooo ooooo.... (cont.)
Spike's Voice (voiceover): As the sun pulls away from the shore,
and our boat sinks slowly in the west,
we approach the island of Lu-Lu!
(thwang!! of an arrow thudding into a treetrunk)
Or, spelled backwards --
(backwards !!gnawht, heavy thud) "Ul-Ul!!"
Ah... *blissful sigh*....
(Spike is suddenly --> ... In the distance we hear --
grinning *really* wide!) Spike Jones, and his Wacky Waikikians!!! (2)
(The nonsense begins.)
Chorus: Hey-ya heia heia o hi ha! (thwapp)
Hey-ya heia heia o hi ha! (thwapp)
hay-ya ashappa shappa o hi ha! (" ")
hay-ya ashappa shappa o hi ha! (" ")
Soloist (3):eg-ga ga oop oop thakka thakka thakka oo! *"If you're hungry.."
eg-ga ga oop oopp thakka thakka thakka oo!
Chorus: hegga ga oop-oop thwi hoga-doi --
hangy waga thwia thwappa la! (Bicycle horn -- *toot toot!!*)
(repeat above 4 'lines' once, with slight modifications --)
Chorus: Ohhhh, wei -- (egga ga oop oop!)
tahhhhh, hoo -- (gaga ga hoop hoop)
ohhhhh, wei -- (GUH!)
ahh, hoo -- OOH!!! (chorused; somehow _very_ silly. :)
Soloist: Ka ho egga hue hue we-u-wei *"Aaaaare ya achin'? --"
Chorus: (hei-hei) (* yeah-huh, yeah-huh) *"(yup, yup, yup) --"
Soloist: Ha hueggi hu habeedi na hue-hue (hei-hei) *"..."
Hu-e wei huli hoi
Heggi hula wee anuwee gubba-la (A hiney-hiney HEY!)
(repeat above 4 'lines' again, w/slight modifications -- )
Oh, oh weeeii-ha.... (HUBBA-HUBBA-HUBBA!)
Daa hu! (ZOOT!)
Oh, wei (BOIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!....)
Da-a hu! (Wa wa wa -- )
-- Here we launch into a rather indescribable brassy musical
interlude, interspersed with garbled chicken-like babbling, oddly
well-integrated. =) The following stanza is puntuated with gurgling
noises, and a couple of gunshots. Then the tapdancing kicks in... I
absolutely _refuse_ to try to transcribe this 60 seconds of the
song. ;)
(slow ukeleles again;... gradual decline into jangling brass and
strings, thwangg!!-ing arrows going off all over the place, the orchestra
collapses into an undignified heap, giggles maniacally, and finishes
with a twanging flourish.)
-----
1) "Aloha hoi", probaably not transcribed exactly as I've got it here (I
don't know Hawaiian -- <blush>), is actually the national anthem of
Hawaii, ukeleles and all; that's the only thing here that's not made up
-- the first verse is quite real, and people tend to identify it with
Hawaii. True to form, Spike starts out serious to lull the tame '40s
listener into a sense of security, and _then_ --- =)
(Needless to say, the rest of this song is _not_ really in
Hawaiian. :)
2) Well, the band is actually called Spike Jones and his City Slickers;
he seems to have gotten a little carried away for this song...
3) The solo guy here is Carl Grayson, actually quite a good crooner and bandleader of the 40s (before he got himself associated with the City Slickers,
that is... ;) He's a brilliant, suave singer and satirist; but he also
had the questionable talent of producing some of the most amazing
'glug'-ging and gurgling noises ever heard by man. All that 'thakka-thakka-oo"
stuff that he does here isn't exactly vocalized; it's more a very long
series of voiced glottal stops and choking, gurgling sounds. How he
managed to do this *on key* is a general mystery. ;) Funny as hell,
though (and _don't_ ask me why. :)
Theeeeeeeere we go. Gee, that was kinda fun. ;)
: And would anybody (Lar3ry, for instance =) care to list Tom Lehrer
: in the above list? I'll nominate him... =)
Hey, seconded! I _did_ say American musical comedians and parodists,
didn't I? ;) Tho' Lehrer, actually, tends to focus more on original
songs than on parody of specific songs or of a genre (cf Yankovic and PDQ
Bach), and tends to concentrate more on complex, funny lyrics than on
sound effects. (Actually, 'The Masochism Tango was remarkably Spike-like
in that respect... :) But Spike influenced nearly everyone; he was the
great-grandaddy of 'em all. (It's all _his_ fault!!!!! ;)
: > raving about Timon. :) O, the things one can learn from a meerkat. (Not

Why, thankee. *bow* I hope the population at large concurs with you...

"By 1944 Spike and the City Slickers were certifiably famous, and a huge
audience was hungry for records of the many hilarious hits they'd
introduced on the air -- especially "Cocktails for Two," which was the
first track recorded when the RCA studios opened once again in November.
The song had been a semistandard ever since it was written in 1934 (to
help celebrate the end of the national prohibition of alcoholic
beverages), but it had always been performed as a soft, romantic ballad
-- until it got Spiked, that is. It may be impossible to comprehend
today how utterly shocked and amazed people were in 1944 to hear that

Now, of course, the trouble here is that these words were written by
mainland caucasians, since there is no letter T in the Hawai'ian language.

What a wonderful idea. I've been looking for someone to record the LK version
as well as perhaps some of the Spike Jones version. (My windows startup WAV is
a 1:16 minute extract from K2 by Hans Zimmer at the moment). The Hula skirt song
is one I was looking forward to on RotPL but wasn't there :(
If someone can record it, I can arrange for it to be put on an FTP site.
(Posting here wouldn't be such a good idea)

I'd do anything for Spike Jones. Not to mention Timon. Not to
mention Timon fans. <grin> The more of y'all decide to give Spike
another try, the more validated my week will be... Cleverness and
coolness just doesn't deserve to sink into obscurity simply because it's
gotten 'old'. *snif* That's the whole point of good humor -- it tends
ta hold up.
And the idea of Spike in a WAV file.... o, heh! That'd be
_really_ cool. That'd make my day. (I'm sure it'd make him kick up
dirt, too. ;) It seems appropriate; now, fifty years later...
I had a hell of a good time transcribing those lyrics (and a
deep thank-you to the person who posted the 'offcial' version, which may
actually carry some meaning!! Tho' I think there are a few dozen more
different lines in the song than the ones printed there... :)
Anyway. Have a blast, y'all. Always happy to serve. ;)

You can also find the song on almost EVERY cheezy '50-'60s Hawiian record. I've

Spike Jones actually had a TV series in the 1950s. I've seen it on
