All of these are my favorite songs by far, that epitomize the summer of 2009. Most were heard / listened to when I lived in Hawaii over the summer. A few aren’t Hawaiian themed, but I assure you all are amazing. Sorry for the lack of music videos for some songs, but groups like SDIB don’t have music videos, and it’s rare to find a full version on youtube (past some douche with his new acoustic..)
5. Razorlight – Golden Touch : Great song, quite catchy. Not hawaiian, but played throughout the summer never the less.
4. Kid Cudi vs. Crookers – Day N’ Night : Love it, would tweak out the local Hawaiians playing it / blasting it in my bio-diesel powered Jetta. Respeck. Story of my life per say, haha.
3. The Dandy Warhols – Get Off : Great song I’ve heard from Dom Joly from the Trigger Happy TV / World Shut your Mouth Soundtracks:
2. Heavy D – My Love Is All I Have : Probably should be tied with #1 as I still listen to this song. In fact I found no real way to stream it on the page except linking to Yahoo music so I dug up code from Google just to embed it, took a little while to do, but totally worth it. Great music, alot of my favorites this summer were from Heavy D – Vibes album, if you were on any island, especially Maui, you heard at least 3 songs from that album per day.
1. SDIB – Midnight Hour : By far my favorite, hawaiian themed song. First few times I heard it walking around Maui / at restaurants thought it was about a guy and his girlfriend (hence the singing to eachother) – Listened to the first part when I downloaded, it’s infact about a ukelele. Makes me love it all the more:
