Re: Name that song...

My turn. Here's a couple Hawaiian ones...

"Ho`okohukohu e ka limu kohu
Ke kau i luna o na moku la..."

"A - E - I - O - U,
He Ke La Mu Nu Pi We"

Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai, and Kaililauokekoa.

How about...

"Onaona la ko maka i 'ane'i e ka ipo"

"Onaona la ko maka i 'ane'i e ka ipo"

"A'oia" by Johnny Almeida. Mostly recently recorded by Island Rhythms on their first CD, "We Are One".

Good one.

As in...Jonathan and Darlene Edwards? Please tell me it's so!

Another Hawaiian one (hint: it's very old):

"Ua lawa makou i ka pohaku,
I ka 'Ai kamaha'o o ka 'aina."

Wow Miulang, you didn't strike me as a music buff.

What's the song title for this?

"Humpty-back trunk, unlimited junk.
Tonight the Makawao Dump is fine."

Kaulana na pua, a song originally considered sacred and not for dancing.

heheheh. Google says it's the "Makawao Dump" song by Jon Osorio and Randy Borden from their first album. BTW: I don't think there ever was a "formal" Makawao Dump. Maybe some of the gulleys closer to Haiku have seen a few discarded refrigerators and washing machines and car carcasses, though!

But that's not what the title of the song is, according to Jon Osorio himself just a couple of months ago.

Okay. It ain't so.
The second review in the link you provided says "Humor in music takes many forms, but rarely as laugh-out-loud funny as what singer Jo Stafford and pianist Paul Weston accomplish here, appearing as their alter-egos, Darlene and Jonathan Edwards."
And another review says that sang for friends and recorded as a joke, so it's absolutely not the same person.
Whew.

Re: Name that song...

OK, back to the lyrics:

I’m gonna keep on the run,
I’m gonna have me some fun,
If it costs me my very last dime.

Sorry to disappoint - not the same.

Jonathan Edwards is a pop-folkie, who had a big radio hit back in 1971, called "Sunshine" ("Sunshine, go away today...") He's also been in high demand as a producer (I know his work for artists like Cheryl Wheeler and Maura O'Connell.)

Jonathan & Darlene Edwards were pseudonyms for the talented duo of Paul Weston & Jo Stafford, doing their best to create horrible performances as a comedy musical act - since they were such skilled musicians, they were among the best as doing "bad" so brilliantly. (See also "P.D.Q. Bach.")
