random notes
from: patrick
neve (splat@darkwing.uoregon.edu)
sides one and two of this hawaiian 45 single are identical mixes of their smash
flop single, "palolo valley girls." as you might guess, it's a cover
of "valley girls" with local hawaiian slang vocals instead of san
fernando valley slang. it's not exactly well played, but is fairly amusing and
sounds like they had a good time recording it. from what i hear it was a bit of
a local hit at the time, having been released so hot on the heels of
"valley girl" fever. i
wonder what moon would think of it.
