Put da lime in the coconut ...

Obvious homage to Ernie Kovacs Nairobi (Kenya) Trio, and those really weird hula dancers ... but it just doesn't get any better. My favorite 'feel better' song.

Also notable ... the entire song never varies off a C7th major chord ... C E G Bflat ... which causes it to have a sense of 'not resolving' into a C major chord. It gives you the 'creeeps'.

It is also very easy to not notice that the piano player gorilla is smoking a cigar. Perfect!
