    Hah, that's awesome! Great song.

    My Hawaiian earworms...

    - IZ: Margarita, just about everything on "Facing Future"
    - Keali`i Reichel: He Lei No Kamaile
    - Mark Keali`i Ho`omalu: Both of his songs on the Lilo and Stitch "island favorites" soundtrack ... Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride and He Mele No Lilo.

    Just picked up a CD from the latter yesterday, so I'll see if I get any more from his list

    The English ones are also mostly from the L&S ST, and probably cheesy by most standards, but still fun and get stuck in your head:

    - Lahaina, The Volcanoes
    - My Little Grass Shack, Lisa Loeb
    - Coconut, Nilsson
    - The Old Hawaiian Way, Big Kahuna
    - Pineapple Princess, Annette Funicello
    - And of course I'm including the English songs on Facing Future here too...

    I should also add, the Jump5 remix of Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride. It's... different. But it's a pretty cool interpretation of the original. It's on iTunes if anyone wants to give it a listen...

                            Their publicist tells me that their 2nd CD will come out a little later this year, and they plan to do a live one as well (they have been recording many of their shows.)

                              I do not know if you are still around, but I have been looking for this song for over a dozen years too!

                              I recently found (thanks to some very wonderful people online) that I had been looking in the wrong direction for it!
                              The title of the song is actually "Bottles & Cans", and it wasn't by Osorio and Borden (although they might have a version too, I don't know)... but the hit version I listened to over and over in Hanalei and Honolulu was by Ron Kuala'au...wow! So now you should be able to find it online too ^_^

                              And here are the lyrics you were looking for also:

                              written by Thomas Merrill
                              performed by Ron Kuala'au

                              Bottles and cans, old pots and pans
                              Even a half jug of wine
                              Humpty-back jugs, unlimited junk
                              Today the Makawao Dump is fine

                              He comes down before daybreak, in dim and misty haze
                              Browsing through moments of old yesterdays
                              ...for the good times, and bad times
                              ...old times, and sad times
                              ...sometime in your life, you may hear Louie say:

                              Bottles and cans, old pots and pans
                              Even a half jug of wine
                              Humpty-back jugs, unlimited junk
                              Today the Makawao Dump is fine

                              To those who are passing by, it's merely a sin
                              Full of castaway nothings, all worthless to them
                              ...but to Louie they are treasured things
                              ...valuable, pleasures of things
                              ...all things, with no strings, just ask, and he will lend

                              Bottles and cans, old pots and pans
                              Even a half jug of wine
                              Humpty-back jugs, unlimited junks
                              Today the Makawao Dump is fine ...

                                Love this sweet Fijian goodbye song called "Isa Lei".
                                YouTube
                                Sing along with it!

                                Isa Lei Lyrics
                                Isa Isa vulagi lassa dina
                                Nomu lako au na rarawa kina
                                Cava beka ko a mai cakava,
                                Nomu lako au na sega ni lasa.

                                Isa Lei, na noqu rarawa,
                                Ni ko sana vodo e na mataka
                                Bau nanuma, na nodatou lasa,
                                Mai Suva nanuma tiko ga.

                                Vanua rogo na nomuni vanua,
                                Kena ca ni levu tu na ua,
                                Lomaqu voli me'u bau butuka
                                Tovolea ke balavu na bula.

                                Isa Lei, na noqu rarawa,
                                Ni ko sana vodo e na mataka
                                Bau nanuma, na nodatou lasa,
                                Mai Suva nanuma tiko ga.

                                Domoni dina na nomu yanuyanu,
                                Kena kau wale na salusalu,
                                Mocelolo, bua, na kukuwalu,
                                Lagakali, maba na rosi damu.

                                Isa Lei, na noqu rarawa,
                                Ni ko sana vodo e na mataka
                                Bau nanuma, na nodatou lasa,
                                Mai Suva nanuma tiko ga.


                                ENGLISH TRANSLATION
                                Isa, Isa you are my only treasure;
                                Must you leave me, so lonely and foresaken?
                                As the roses will miss the sun at dawning,
                                Every moment my heart for you is yearning.

                                Isa Lei, the purple shadow falling,
                                Sad the morrow will dawn upon my sorrow;
                                O, forget not, when you're far away,
                                Precious moments beside dear Suva.

                                Isa, Isa, my heart was filled with pleasure,
                                From the moment I heard your tender greeting;
                                'Mid the sunshine, we spent the hours together,
                                Now so swiftly those happy hours are fleeting.

                                Isa Lei, the purple shadow falling,
                                Sad the morrow will dawn upon my sorrow;
                                O, forget not, when you're far away,
                                Precious moments beside dear Suva.

                                O'er the ocean your island home is calling,
                                Happy country where roses bloom in splendour;
                                O, if I could but journey there beside you,
                                Then forever my heart would sing in rapture.

                                Isa Lei, the purple shadow falling,
                                Sad the morrow will dawn upon my sorrow;
                                O, forget not, when you're far away,
                                Precious moments beside dear Suva.
                                Life is either an adventure... or you're not doing it right!!!
