| rdfs:comment | - "Hawaiian War Chant" is a popular and iconic song evoking the sounds and language of Hawaii. The song was a staple of the big band era in the 1930s and 1940s, and Spike Jones and his orchestra later recorded a more uptempo version, with a comic prologue. The song also featured at Disneyland's "The Enchanted Tiki Room" attraction, and in their film The Lion King. The pigs performed the song as the opening number in episode 320 of The Muppet Show. In 2002 and 2005, Louise Gold included the song in her cabaret act, as part of an "Around the World with the Muppets" medley.
- Also known as "Polynesian War Chant". There's a sunny little, funny little melody It was started by a native down in Waikiki He would gather a crowd down beside the sea And they'd play his gay Hawaiian Chant Soon the other little natives started singing it And the hula hula maidens starting swinging it Like a tropical storm, that's the way it hit Funny little gay Hawaiian chant Au we ta huala Au we ta huala Though it started on an island down Hawaii way It's as popular in Tennessee or Ioway If you wander into any cabaret You will hear this gay Hawaiian chant Au we ta huala Au we ta huala
