    This might sound weird, but this song is nostalgic and brings memories from my childhood in early 2000s. They used to play it every night in mini discos where hotel staff brings kids together in stage and dance into this and other songs. That time were the golden days that hold a big part of my heart and it can’t be repeated, replaced and surpassed.

      We danced to this in a skit for SPARC at summer camp in 1985. I like it. But I couldn't find it online because I didn't know the real lyrics. I thought it was "I've got two two two...apples and a tree..." (Yes, more mondegreens. I do that a lot because I'm hard of hearing) It took me forever to find the real song. Not just two, two, two years. I'm glad I finally found it!

      I'm an American Anglophile! Born and raised in America but ever since I heard the King's College Choir on the radio I became an Anglophile. I loved this song since 1985 but I didn't know it was British. I love it even more now.
      And how ignorant of me, I didn't know Petula Clark was British until I read her biography online recently. I always liked her, ever since I heard "Downtown" and "My Love", and"It's A Sign Of The Tmes" on the local oldies rock station in 1982. But I had no idea she was British. What rock have I been living under all these years?

    I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki
    Well, she was selling pineapple, playing ukulele
    And when I went to the girl, "Come on and teach me to sway!"
    She laughed and whispered to me: "Yes, come tonight to the bay!"

    The moon of Kauai

    Ahh yes, 80s School christmas parties, and Thursday evenings spent at the youth club disco, lol.
    These black lace records are some of the earliest memories i have of playing my old yellow record player, that looked like a suitcase.
    I'd play these, roland rats, rat rapping, and that chick chick chicken song.
    Man, i haven't listened to that chicken song for time. I'm off to find it right now.😂

    I loved that song back in the 80s. I remember doing that dance at discos. That was the thing if you wanted to hit the floor. You HAD to know the dances. It was a strong measure of how cool you were if you could nail them all. Agadoo. The Bus Stop. Nutbush. The list went on.

Me and my parents were on vacation in Mallorca in 1995 and every evening the hotel hosted the "Mini Disco" where they played this, "Superman", "The Music Man", "Hockey Cockey" and a few other tracks. Me at 5 years old danced my little ass off to every song 😅. Then I bought a cassette (those were the days 😀) and not only the songs but also the DJ's banters could be heard on it. I played it every summer after that because it reminded me so much of that vacation until we flew back to Mallorca 5 years later and I went to the Mini Disco again and this time I bought a CD 😁.
