      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

                For other Democratic Socialist music, the Ponchobo Electonic Ensemble can be listened to.

                  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:

                        Link to video

                        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:

                            Link to video

                            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.

                                  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.

                                  I was only joking
