in the Bahamas? Bahama Mama mia!
hmmm, I'm not exactly sure where I am...though I'm sure it's somewhere on the sofa, where I've ingested too many mind altering substances, including beer, wine, a Hendrick's martini, a prime rib of beef dinner, coffee, now relaxing and here's a picture of what I see if I look sort of North-Northwest from my chair  |

unc, are you in Kokomo?
Although there is a small city in Indiana called Kokomo, most Americans know of Kokomo as the former name of an island in Jamaica that is now known as Sandals Cay. The song also mentions many places in and around the Caribbean, including Aruba, Jamaica, Bermuda, Bahama(s), Key Largo, Montego, Martinique, Montserrat, and Port-au-Prince (Haiti). In addition to the Beach Boys' signature layered-singing style, the song's instrumentation makes heavy use of steel drums. Van Dyke Parks, who had worked on some of the group's earlier albums, played accordion, while session veteran Jim Keltner played drums. In the original version, lead vocals were performed by Mike Love and Carl Wilson. The harmonies include Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston. The only active Beach Boys member not involved with the recording was Brian Wilson, who, according to his autobiography, was given short notice of the recording session and unable to attend. He was, however, included in concert recordings of the song, including a live concert filmed for the television show Full House (episode 028). The 2008 A&E Network Biography on Brian Wilson stated that Mike Love would "brag" about having a #1 hit without Wilson's help. Last edited by BadNick; 01-03-2010 at 09:22 AM.. |

You're definitely not in my kitchen making Hot chocolate... But are you at least on the same continent in the great SofA?
