Since we lost Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys two days ago, I'm going to stick with them for today's song just like I did yesterday. Except today it's going to be a song that was done much later in their career, as in from 1988. Kokomo by the Beach Boys is another one of those songs that the moment I hear it, it's then instantly stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

It's such a great, catchy song and I song I absolutely love. Not my favorite by them, as I like their older stuff better, but it's in the top 5 or so I feel.

[Intro: Mike Love]
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on, pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, baby, why don't we go?
Jamaica

[Verse 1: Mike Love]
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

[Chorus: All, Carl Wilson]
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Bahama, come on, pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, Ooh, baby why don't we go?
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 in Kokomo
