Title: Mele kalikimaka Post by: Shady on November 30, 2007, 01:57:50 PM Can anyone fill me in on this very random song..
when it was recorded etc, just came across it today. Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: Ethan on November 30, 2007, 02:46:06 PM For Merry Christmas '77 re-recorded at MIU for .... MIU!!! as.... Kona Coast.
Check out 'Ultimate Christmas' CD Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: Susan on December 01, 2007, 04:58:15 PM It's actually not awful. Dopey, perhaps, but not awful.
Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: Sheriff John Stone on December 01, 2007, 05:24:58 PM I have the song on Ultimate Christmas. Does anyone notice how that song and "Bells Of Christmas" and "Child Of Winter" are mastered real LOUD, then "Morning Christmas" is somewhat lower? That album needs some serious remastering.
Also, notice that "Christmas Time Is Here Again" is deleted from the most recent Christmas album, what's it called - Merry Christmas From The Beach Boys? Does anyone know why? And, why can't they seem to get "The Lord's Prayer" on the Beach Boys' Christmas albums? I got it on a Japanese import.... Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: Andrew G. Doe on December 02, 2007, 10:32:49 AM The versions of "Bells..." and "Melekalikimaka" on UC differ singnificantly from the original 1977 versions - not just a remix, but some re-recording too.

I got it on a Japanese import.... Lord's Prayer was a bonus track on a 90's 2-fer-era reissue of the Christmas album. Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: Andrew G.

Lord's Prayer was a bonus track on a 90's 2-fer-era reissue of the Christmas album. In stereo, too. :) Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: adamghost on December 02, 2007, 11:55:59 AM Heh. Dopey. Good adjective.

I got it on a Japanese import.... Lord's Prayer was a bonus track on a 90's 2-fer-era reissue of the Christmas album. Yes, I stand corrected. I actually have that reissue with "The Lord's Prayer" on it, in addition to a Japanese import without it. So why couldn't "The Lord's Prayer" carry over to the Ultimate Christmas collection? Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: Susan on December 02, 2007, 05:11:50 PM Heh. Dopey. Good adjective. Well, ya know...if the shoe fits... Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: Dugan on December 06, 2007, 02:55:18 PM Mele kalikimaka means Merry Christmas in Hawaii talk-a.
Yep Dopey is perfect . :) Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: matt-zeus on December 07, 2007, 05:40:53 AM I prefer Kona Coast, but enjoy this rendition too. It's better than the Kissing Santa Claus song, Santas got an airplane or the Peggy Sue remake (reeeallly bad that one is!)
Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: Aegir on December 07, 2007, 03:16:56 PM I didn't like this song until I found out it was Brian singing the "Hawaii" falsetto part. Now I think it's amazing.
Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: Breakaway on December 08, 2007, 12:01:33 AM I like this song quite a bit, even if some of the lyrics are silly. It's catchy, fun, and makes me smile when I listen to it. ;D
Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: Beach Boy on December 08, 2007, 11:47:28 AM Great song, but this version sucks. As I wrote in another board: Christmas on a beach? Impossible for me!
Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: Aegir on December 08, 2007, 01:22:52 PM The Beach Boys lived in the warm part of California, so it's not like it was snowing there anyway. I'd rather be on a beach in Hawaii for Christmas than a beach in California.
Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: Susan on December 09, 2007, 07:30:20 AM Yeah...white Christmases invariably have to be plowed, thus rendering them highly over-rated!
:-) Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: Shady on December 09, 2007, 03:55:04 PM It's actually not awful. Dopey, perhaps, but not awful. In no way do i think it is awful, it's just a very random, but pretty fun song. Not much of a christmas song though ;D Title: Re: Mele kalikimaka Post by: punkinhead on December 09, 2007, 05:46:37 PM i thought the drums were really good on it
