O'Brien Tryin' to Learn to Talk Hawaiian (1914)

06/11/08 | by David Raffin [mail] | Categories: music, Links

A while ago I posted O’Brien Tryin’ to Learn to Talk Hawaiian as sung by Ada Jones in 1917.

This song is one of my two favorite tracks by Jones. (The other is The Yama Yama Man)

The song was written in 1914. If you are feeling musical here is the sheet music.
And here is a version from 2004 (featured above, via Heftone).

"Not since radical physicist Benny Hill first postulated that time slowed down while being chased by bikini-clad women; however, from the vantage point of the viewer, time sped up, have the masses been witness to such a momentous spectacle."
