[edit] Origin of the Song
Who else thinks the section on the Croatian song is a bit out of proportion to the rest of the song? I am entirely in favor of mentioning the song, and putting the song info in a separate page - but what is the purpose of having the full Croatian lyrics of a song in THIS page when the Hawaiian lyrics are not there?
I suggest moving the content relating to Sidi Mara to their own page, and leaving the paragraph indicating likely provenance. --mililani
- Without any sources, it appears to be original research and I'm deleting it accordingly. Angr 17:56, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Song in the Hawaiian Language
I think it would be prudent to include the song in its original (and infinitely more famous) Hawaiian language form. I'm sort of new to anything extensive (I've only really done text edits). How would I go about doing something like this? Valley2city 20:57, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hawaiian Music
The article as written suggests that the the Hawaiian natives had no music of their own prior to the arrival of Berger. I find that hard to believe. Could the poster clarify? Jackbox1971 04:26, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
- It is, of course, preposterous. I've removed it as completely unsourced original research, if not a simple hoax. —Angr 11:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Use in popular culture
This song has been sung or performed in TV and movies before. The most easily remembered occurance of this is in the first Lilo and Stitch film. If you know of any others, we may have enough to start a new section of the article. -dogman15 04:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Lilo and Stitch is certainly not the first appearance of this in animated form, if this is the song featured in many classic Warner Brothers cartoons that I think it is. Never completely, of course, but as an example Bugs Bunny sings the line "Aloha Oe, Farewell to thee..." as he lowers himself into the magician's hat in "Case of the Missing Hare". Another example of that song is the Porky Pig Cartoon "Notes to You". (which also featured one of the longest running themes in Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies, The Umbrella Man: "Any umberellas, any umberellas to mend today, todoodle lumma lummma toodle lumma lumma toodle-eay...") That tune and "I'm just wild about Harry" are also missing wikipedia articles or even slight mention under Looney Tunes as running gag themes. (maybe one of you old music njerds with free time could fix that, hint hint)
