1. heh....written by an old pal of mine.......George David Weiss
Edited on Tue May-19-09 02:50 PM by blm
he said he was in Africa listening to the villagers sing and wrote the song with their music layering the background.

He also wrote Can't Help Falling in Love With You......Col. Parker didn't like it and it became the B side of Rock Hula Baby.

7. Popularized by the Kingston Trio
two of whom, Dave Guard and (I believe) Bob Shane, attended Punahou, also the alma mater of Barry Obama '72.
