Merrell Fankhauser - We Love Tikis
I don't often review vocals, but this is just too fun. At first, my reaction was just so-so, but it really grew on me over time. Merrell Fankhauser was the main man of the Impacts and the Exiles, and a psych legend later on with HMS Bounty and Mu.

We Love Tikis
(Vocal)
Simple and innocent, "We Love Tikis" has all the earmarks of a happy hit. Describing tikis they like, the lyrics are silly and fun. I particularly like the lines "This one's from Fresno, it likes beer and pretzels." Splendid!
