He's right! It was written in 1952 for the movie "Bird of Paradise" by Ken Darby who wrote the English words. Sorry, no info on who wrote the Hawaiian lyrics. Kanelikea is right, it is a hapa haole song. Unfortunately, hapa haole will invariably win out in popularity because of the language barrier. Regardless, "Spread a Little Aloha!" A hui hou!

What you say may be true, but not gracious as I would expect from someone who has Aloha in their heart...
Be gracious, enjoy each for the talents they have. It is not as I would have chosen, but it is a hapahaole song, yes?
