Thread Name: Lyr Req: Mele Kalikimaka
Subject: Mele Kalikimaka
There is a new version of this old song. I heard it first by Bing Crosby or Dean Martin with the Andrews Sisters. This one is by KT Tunstall and I find it just as good as the old ones.

The head of Hawaiin Public Radio was on Radio 2 the other day saying he thought it was good too and reckons that 'Mele Kalikimaka' is still a common Christmas greeting on the Island but how long before someone decides it is non-PC and offends the islanders in some way?

Anyway - Enjoy it while you can and feel free to post links to the earlier versions (Back to 1941 BTW)

Cheers
