[edit] Unsourced Comment

"According to a longtime operator of the Tiki Room, interviewed in 2008, the entire show is now controlled by a single laptop located in the center of the room."

This strikes me apocryphal or at the very least a casual metaphor tossed off without being intended as gospel truth; I doubt Disney controls any of their rides and attractions "by laptop". What interview? Where? I'm going to delete the line without prejudice until and unless someone can cite any reference whatsoever on this.

[edit] Attraction name

The Disneyland map marks the attraction as The Enchanted Tiki Room, dropping the Walt Disney's slogan. As more incentive for a name change of the page, the page is about the Tiki Rooms in Florida and Tokyo as well, and the base name of each attraction is The Enchanted Tiki Room, with or without add-ons, such as Walt Disney's, Under New Management, and Get The Fever!. --Speedway 17:22, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

  • The official name of the attraction (at least at Disneyland) is Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, and even the signs put in back in March still say that, as well as the birds' dialogue. The maps don't always list an attractions full name. --Lyght 18:26, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fritz's voice impression

Hello, all. I would like to suggest that anyone who would like to get an accurate idea of exactly who Fritz is attempting to imitate in one of the verses of "Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing" get some recordings of Pearl Bailey.

She is the vocalist on the soundtrack and voiced the character "Big Mama" in Disney's "The Fox and the Hound", 1981. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fox_and_the_Hound_(film)

IMHO, there is much more resemblance to her in Fritz's impression than there is to Louis Armstrong.

Fritz is imitating Jimmy Durante.

[edit] Disneyland Enchanted Tiki Room: Hawai'ian Lyrics as Sung by Flowers

The third number in the Disneyland Tiki Room show (I have no knowledge of the others) is a variation on the "Hawai'ian War Chant"(as indicated in the main entry). I recorded the Tiki Room show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g981Bpv3MRY) and formatted the lyrics as sung by the flowers in the Tiki Room. The apostrophes might not be correct Hawai'ian, however I added them where the glottal stop is sung in this version of the song. For example if I write "lai" it's sung as one syllable like "lie", and if I write "la'i" it's sung as two syllables "la" and "ee". The verse sung by the Orchid Soloist appears to be a version of the "War Chant" with words left out just to make it fit with the melody of the solo. These lyrics end when the Tikis begin to sing - I can't make out the words to the Tikis' chant.

Orchid Chorus
Tahuwa’i la a tahuwa’i wa’i la,
Ehu hene la a pili ko’o lu’a la,
Pututui lua ite to’e la,
Hanu lipo ita pa’a lai.

Orchid Soloist
Tahuwa’i la tahuwa’i wai
Hene la pili la-a-a-a
Pui lua ite toe
Hanu pa’a la’i

Bird of Paradise Flowers
Au we ta hu’a la
Au we ta hu’a la

Tahuwa’i la a tahuwa’i wa’i la,
Ehu hene la a pili ko’o lu’a la,
Pututui lua ite to’e la,
Hanu lipo ita pa’a la’i.

Tahuwa’i la a tahuwa’i wa’i la,
Ehu hene la a pili ko’o lu’a la,
Pututui lua ite to’e la,
Hanu lipo ita pa’a la’i.

Au we ta hu’a la. (Hu’a la)
Au we ta hu’a la. (Hu’a la)
Hu’a la Hu’a la
