thoroughly enjoyed those drive in movie ads

Thanks a lot for this thread.

I was hoping someone might know the music of this recent Post-It Labels commercial

This thread makes me think of the category: unexpected ways that 90s may be revived.

(Which probably sounds snarkier than I mean it.)

xxpost: Asked and answered here. And if you're involved with the Borbetomagus, thanks for the show at Terrastock 1, my ears rang for a long long time.

Glad this thread showed up as I've been wondering about something along these lines for a while.

The futuristic 50s kitchen vibe has been sort of revisited by people like Money Mark, Harmonic 33 and other kitsch/library music fetishists.

But it seems that one of the few retro aesthetics that hasn't been plundered by new music is that '50s American tropical holiday King Creole/Sultana/Hawaii!/Santo & Johnny vibe. The secondhand sound of good looking girls and boys dancing the Technicolor hula on a beach-bound cruiseliner backed by Tijuana brass, swinging cymbals and pedal steel guitar.

Is anyone working with this now? Maybe the last time it was referenced might have been the Cramps, B52s and Pere Ubu, but these were reimagined by punks, where the seaweed rots and the dancers have become toxic mutants.

its been really bugging me because it's such a well-known theme, but who is this by and where is it from? (Forgive crappy laptop mic and crappier piano playing please )http://vocaroo.com/?media=vvM8OCaq9bjbPWsUb

XP Dog Latin, Yoshinori Sunahara is the closest thing I can think of, there's lots of his stuff on YouTube but the track I had in mind isn't on YT, here is a soptify link tho'.

The moment I read this thread title the exact kind of music popped right into my head.
