Every Movement has to have an anthem, this is ours. You'd be surprised just how much a brightly colored aloha shirt can brighten up a gray Chicago winter day. I've even got an aloha-print down jacket, but then I'm an extremist. |

Every time I hear this one I still want Shelley Fabres one on one in that pool at the bottom of the waterfall. That Brian Wilson sure gets around. I hope he's making a little money off of this. |

My wife thinks this song is stupid. My boys and I like it. We think it might be a guy thing. On the other hand, it could be the fact that their ages range between 7 and 11, and I wrote it. Well, at least it's historically correct. |

This is what I imagine my wife doing if she had it to do all over again. I think she imagines it too. We do manage to make it to Hawaii most winters for a week or two, but I'm never far behind, and I'm always keeping my eye on the pool boy. |

Trying to get ahead and still leaving something behind. Man's eternal struggle with his wallet. I dedicate this to my three sons: Patrick, Michael and Matthew. I hope we leave them a world that's better off than the way we found it. |

True Story. I read Carlos Herrera's obituary in the Chicago Tribune, May 15, 1992, and every word of it is true. Well, it didn't actually say that he was doing it to get laid, but it did say that he was married eight times, so I extrapolated. |

What can I say, I like to drink. Especially with the sun beating down on me in a tropical climate. If I need to, I can make do with a Bears game on my fifty incher in the basement. Winter weather does mean power outages, so don't forget a generator for the blender. |

They tore down the park and put up a parking lot. Don't worry, the story has a happy ending. The new park has real urinals and a Stadium Club. Actually, it turns out that the magic is in the game and the people, not in a building. I still miss it though. |

This is what happens to the ones that get away (see previous song). Warren Zevon wrote this, and it features the same chord progression as the Hawaiian war chant. Ha`ina `ia mai ana ka puana means cut to the refrain, the song is definitely coming to an end. |

One of the best from one of Hawaii's best. If you are ever in the islands, check out any of Keola's music. He and his brother Kapono put out several albums together, and they have done some excellent solo projects as well. I only hope we did this one justice. |
