    Well, I packed my bags and bought myself a ticket
    For the land of the tall palm tree
    Aloha Old Milwaukee, Hello Waikiki
    I just stepped down from the airplane
    When I heard her say,
    "Waka waka nuka licka, waka waka nuka licka
    Would you like a lei? Eh?"

    [Chorus]

    Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
    Whisper in my ear
    Kicka pooka mok a wa wahini
    Are the words I long to hear
    Lay your coconut on my tiki
    What the hecka mooka mooka dear
    Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
    Say the words I long to hear

    t's a ukulele Honolulu sunset
    Listen to the grass skirts sway
    Drinking rum from a pineapple
    Out on Honolulu Bay
    The steel guitars all playing
    While she's talking with her hands
    Gimme gimme oka doka make a wish and wanta polka
    Words I understand Hey!

    [Chorus]

    Well, I boughta lota junka with my moolah
    And sent it to the folks back home
    I never had the chance to dance the hula
    Well, I guess I should have known
    When you start talking to the sweet wahini
    Walking in the pale moonlight
    Ohka noka whatta setta knocka-rocka-sis-boom-boccas
    Hope I said it right Oh!

    [Chorus]

    Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian
    Say the words I long to hear
    Aloha

    If you're a Sting fan, take a listen to this. Many re-recorded songs ("Desert Rose" is quite different).

    @George-K interesting!

    I found this excerpt on YT:

    Link to video

    It's interesting to compare it with the Liszt transcription:

    I think I prefer the Liszt variant slightly. Overall, I must say, though, that, at least in the finale of the 9th, they fail to convince me relative to the orchestral version.

    @Klaus I've listened to that recording countless times. However, I never followed the score.

    Gives me a new appreciation for all thing things that are going on.

    And how freakishly difficult it must be to play. All. Those. Octaves.

    Speaking of transcriptions...

    As I mentioned, I'm reading "2312," and in it there's a description of a concert in which one of the pieces performed was a four-hand version of the Beethoven Grosse Fuge. They even mentioned the opus number: 134.

    I had no idea this thing existed, but, there you have it. Beethoven himself transcribed it for four hands:

    Oh, and speaking of speaking of transcriptions, my first encounter with Peter Serkin was a recording I purchased in 1972 (?) of him playing Beethoven's Op. 61(a) - the piano version of the violin concerto.

    Since we're doing piano, I recently rediscovered this album on Amazon music - it accompanies my dog walks. I just love this guy's playing.

    Thanks for that. I just added it to my library. He's got quite the discography!

    This is a bit more than half...

    Early Bud Powell is amazing. As he got older, it was less good - he suffered a lot from mental illness, back when the treatment was rather unsophisticated. A very sad life - he died in 1966 at the age of 41 from a combination of TB and alcoholism.
