The late Warren Zevon performing Hula Hula Boys on December 8, 1990 at the Chestnut Cabaret in Philadelphia.

I'm posting mostly for the music, but threw in some tacky album covers in the background.

  • Why the hell aren't people viewing this!!!

    Classic Zevon: satiric, biting, caustic, sarcastic, derisive, all sung to a pretty island tune! Come on, no other musician in history can top this kind of thing, and Warren did it so effortlessly.

  • I saw him on Letterman once - he said it translated to, "Sing the chorus in Hawaiian."

    Loved that guy.

  • Does anyone know where I can purchase this version of the tune? All I see for sale is the 2007 digital re-mastered version - not done half as well as the original. Thanks in advance for your help!

  • @MDBrookman thanks for the reminder, past me.

  • Great Zevon. Warren was a very diverse song writer . Covered most genres from love, to gorillas, to Goons on Skates. And this Hawaiian ditty is humoresque. Kind of reminds me of a woman I took to the Bahamas. Got tired of my muscle for a dude with a big boat.

  • Zevon and this song in particular show that great material don't need immediate pop appeal. He proved he was able to do it with Werewolves, but most of his work is much deeper and personal.

  • Great song -- one of his best, and that's saying something. Nice montage!

  • It takes a lot of hard work to get this good. 

  • LOVE the kitchy album covers! They go perfectly with my favorite line, "I didn't have to come to Maui to be treated like a jerk/How do you think I feel when I see the bellboys smirk?"

  • Is there more form this show? How did U get this? Amazing version of one of my fav Zevon tunes. I was fortunate to see him at least 8 times. Only twice with a full band.

    Amazing performer.

  • Warren...
