The Beach Boys: "Kokomo"

Okay, it's not really The Beach Boys, because the original line-up hasn't performed together since 1996. (Only two of the founding five members remain active in the band.) But I'm headed to a tropical destination for the weekend, and I grew up loving The Beach Boys, so I'll take what I can get.

Of course, I could always go the Muppet route instead...

Fun fact: This song was released alongside the Tom Cruise movie Cocktail, for which it was on the soundtrack. "Kokomo" was nominated for a Grammy but lost to Phil Collins' "Two Hearts." (Story of my life.) (What?) (Just enjoy.)

"Kokomo," performed by The Beach Boys.
Original single released in 1988.
