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

Wow Miulang, you didn't strike me as a music buff.
What the song title for this?
"Humpty-back trunk, unlimited junk.
Tonight the Makawao Dump is fine."
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!

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