A short fantasy selection that was probably written in a dentist's waiting room, this song doesn't offer much outside of that Hawaiian-type ukulele. Odd that Tony Bennett's only impact on the rock era top ten would be this kind of simple song. The fact that this was only a nine is without a doubt caused by the new trend. (In fact Hawaii-mania of its statehood in 57-59 might be the cause here.) Tony sounds great but this song's a non-event musically and lyrically.
