Bette Midler Mele Kalikimaka

[reportera13]

I love this song too. It brings a lot of memories of my time in Hawaii and when my children were small especially since our daughter was born in Honolulu and I attended UH.

[lauruteable]

This is my school song

[Vanessawwefan]

aw i miss hawaii such an exciting song :)

[choosing2lookeast]

Heard this song last night for the first time at my hula class. LOVE it!

[SuperMike82]

I think I prefer this song to any other holiday song during the holiday season!

[Ramalama679]

[Picardy]

@desmomo1 That sounds like a fun (and original) play? Will you be singing in it? I did a search for your concert as you suggested, but unfortunately I didn't find anything.

[Kevierae]

E ka Hau'oli Makahiki ho! (Happy New Year)

[Picardy]

@desmomo1 That's fantastic! I'm so glad you and your class had such a wonderful time singing it, and that parents and audience loved your performance so much. Did anyone make a video of it?

[Vogler9]

I'm not a great Bette Midler fan, but this is great!

[handelmozartchopin]

It's just so full of JOY

It always gets me in the mood when I start to write out the Christmas cards.

It's just a wonderful song. Sung slow and romantic or quick and upbeat.

No one does it better than the Divine Miss M

[AdamskiLawlerski]

Good song, but now I know where Lady Gaga gets her vocal stylings from...

[shieldwolf2012]

Bette born in Honolulu Hawaii BTW

[TheHoeBurger]

I was listening to kpig and this came on....i started laughing for some reason...

[MrUnidyne]

Technically, this translates into "Happy December", but who's complaining?

[yurianne07]

Iolani no ka oi! kay by.

[WUkateHANGtsuiYEE]

I love how she says "ma- ka"

[PianoMan750]

[JadedeaJade]

[Picardy]

@desmomo1 How did your concert go?

[fedina73]

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say,

On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day,

That's the island greeting that we send to you

From the land where palm trees sway,

Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright,

...The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night,

Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way

To say "Merry Christmas to you."

I love this song <3

[bbrian123456]

@fedina73 Merry Christmas to all

[Nadia0200]

Me too! I love decorating the trees and seeing my families expressions when they open the presents I gave/made for them. And around this time my mom boils cinnamon on the stove and we can smell it all the way upstairs. It's a very wonderful smell.

[demirocksyourworld]

keyller & Picardy

Me tooo! I love Christmas. And NOT because we get presets.

[suegomanina]

Every gay man who dresses in drag daydreams of wearing a speedo, a grass skirt, flip flops, coccanut bra and lei while listenning to this song.

And I thought I was as gay as a june bride.

As all the kids say, "that is just so gay!!!" You know, they're right!!!

I love this song.

The folks down at our local gay bar would just go nuts if I brought this down during the Christmas holidays. It is extreme high camp.

[Picardy]

Do it! Nothing wrong with spreading some good cheer! Merry Christmas.

[ffessen]

We must sing tihis song in ENGLISH an at a Party

Wir müssen das singen im Englisch Untericht und auf so einer Wheinachtsfeier

[keyller]

I wanna go to Hawaii:(

[suegomanina]

i would too. living in the midwest, putting up with freezing temps, snow, a house full of relatives with a bunch of bratty kids is too cliche. now that I'm getting older a Hawaiin Christmas sounds sounds good for the bones

[BusterLovesBette]

Buster

[Picardy]

Thanks very much. And yes, she was - in Honolulu. I've just finished reading a biography about her wild and crazy life - excellent stuff!

[fossefan]

Hopefully she'll write her memoirs one day -- not yet, of course.

[cemeterydude]

check out A View From A Broad which she wrote about one of her European tours - VERY FUNNY!!

[delanoca]

Great.
