[ToweringInfernoOrch]

WOW its great to see Tom playing. he will always be one of my favorite guitarists!!!

[solarvegan]

To think -- a week ago today, I had never heard of Janet Klein. Now I am loving her video performances, especially this one, and she's become a household name.

[cribpointcritter]

I love this, janet klein's the best! Her records are very popular down Kooweerup!

[Gefilta]

Cooee to Kooweerup

[cribpointcritter]

@Gefilta Cooee to Gefilta!

[Gefilta]

@cribpointcritter lol this brings back memories. Love ALOHA on the end, was that a typo! Hey Janet what about a Hula Hora?

[cribpointcritter]

@Gefilta It's my favourite. :-)

[panamintjoe]

Terrific. More Hilo Hattie material please.

How about "Hula Town?"

The guitar player looks like he's waiting for the buffet to begin.

I'm from Hawai`i and am part Hawaiian and I gotta say against all my better judgement I really do like this. This reminds me of Hawai`i's golden era and I'm glad that some people want to keep this kind of music alive. Way better than the over processed reggae hybrid that Hawai`i music has become.

[nohealani89]

What a disgrace if I may say so myself... Nothing is even hawai'ian about this, so why sing about it. That hula dancer is not even doing anything...

"E oni wale no 'oukou i ku'u pono a'ole e pau"

Have a nice day....

[Keeper1st]

Knowing Janet, this video was done as it would have been at the time the song was written, which is to say that the entire performance is pantomimed with pre-recorded studio music matched in later. So in that sense everyone is "faking it", but that's actually entirely correct.

[gabino72]

I like everything is done with taste and beauty. This fell in that category. I love it!

[bokualec]

Wow, I didn't even realise it's not from the 20s!

[norbu56]

Nice song, nice video, nice "recration" of the past.

This is art.

How to take out Mickey Mouse's shit from hawaiian paradise - I hate it - Worst than ugly Betty Boop

[felixjazzage]

Baciami il culo! Va all'inferno! I like-a Janet Klein, youse figlio di puttana.

[selimsawani]

Che gentile! You love this video but I don't, in fact I have seen others from Janet Klein and I have to admit she has a charme. But not too much for me. Maybe too much a cartoon, and not too much hula? Ciao

See this on YouTube: watch?v=y3ntlh-3sAg

[felixjazzage]

Well, O.K., that was a gracious reply, so maybe you're not just a moronic troll. I'll apologize for becoming overheated in my response. Still, I think you owe her an apology for calling her "an ugly Betty Boop."

[selimsawani]

To me, all what recreates the past in a ridiculous and almost parodistic way looks ugly. In this video she makes me nervous. The one where she teaches a song with the ukulele is more lovely. In fact, at the time of my first comment, I thought it was an original from the time of Betty Boop, which I dislike so much. But there is art in what she does, in that Yiddish way, which was never my favourite. Apologizes anyway to this old style hula lady. Bye

[progion]

Aloha Oy, indeed!

[oahufan]

Yep,this is a good one.The coolest,may beat out phoebe snow with zap mama!Close anyway.Thanks Janet.

[tdub1941]

Nice to have this here-- it always gets hung up repeatedly when I try to watch it on janetklein.com-- now maybe I can learn all the voids-- I mean, words!

[lalovision]
