Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty Mama...

It's Kokomo (spelling?) by the Beach Boys.

 

[KrnB]

I believe it is Kokamo, by The Beach Boys. It was on the Cocktail movie soundtrack.

It is Kokomo (sp.) by the Beach Boys. I love that song. I also love the movie, "Cocktail".

Hi,
It's one of my favorites by the Beach Boys and it's called Kokomo.
Here are the words:

Off the Florida Keys
There's a place called Kokomo
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all

Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to Kokomo
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to Kokomo

To Martinique, that Monserrat mystique

We'll put out to sea
And we'll perfect our chemistry
By and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity

Afternoon delight
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to Kokomo
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to Kokomo

Port Au Prince I wanna catch a glimpse

Everybody knows
A little place like Kokomo
Now if you wanna go
And get away from it all
Go down to Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to Kokomo
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to Kokomo

I love the Beach Boys version...


but the Muppet version was aboslutely hysterical!

 

[cati]

Thanks everyone. I could not for the life of me remember the name, nor who sang it.

 

[Grog]

This is scary. I haven't heard this song in ages, then all of a sudden I started humming it this morning while I was driving, now it's mentioned on the DIS

 

[MouseClubMom]

And the video was filmed at the Grand Floridian!

 

[deirdrefitch]

After reading this thread, I can't seem to get this song out of my head. I entertained the whole household while I cooked dinner tonight. Naturally while you sing, you have to get the little dance going.

 

[liznboys]

OMG I LOVE that song!! And I hadn't thought about it in years. Thanks for the memory.

 

[Laura]

Funny thing, though, Kokomo is in Indiana.

 

[Karista]

LOL Laura - the exact opposite here. My dh works for Delphi here in Flint, MI but frequently has to travel to the headquarters in Kokomo, IN. Whenever I mention to someone that he's gone to Kokomo for the day, EVERYONE assumes that it's somewhere tropical and exotic........if they only knew!
