ABBA – Happy Hawaii

in Hawaii Videos


Released in 1977 on the B side of “Knowing Me, Knowing You,” this song is the early version of “Why did it have to be me.” ♪Early this morning I drove in the rain /Out to the airport to get on the plane /Hey Honololu, we’re going to happy Hawaii /Alice has been there, she said it was fun /Swimming and surfing, enjoying the sun /Hey Honololu, we’re going to happy Hawaii /After all I’ve had to go through /I’m making no plans (making no plans oh-ooh) /But I, but I believe love gives me a second chance /Guess I’ve been working a little too hard /Need a vacation, I’ll send you a card /From Honololu, a greeting from happy Hawaii /It’s so exciting, why should I pretend /In a few hours the plane will descend /Hey Honololu, we’re going to happy Hawaii /I can imagine the beach and the sand /Walking with someone and holding his hand /Hey Honololu, we’re going to happy Hawaii /After all I’ve had to go through /I’m making no plans (making no plans oh-ooh) /But I, but I believe love gives me a second chance, mmm /I’ve got a feeling the dream will come true /Somebody’s waiting and I’ll forget you /Hey Honololu, we’re going to happy Hawaii/

    I’m a professional musician, and many musicians whom I’ve worked with over the years have told me that they don’t like ABBA for various reasons. I used to be embarrassed to say how much I love ABBA! No one would want to play it, They all had their takes on the *correct* music to listen to and play.

    A lot of those ABBA nay-sayers are now either dead, in and out of jail, addicted to booze & drugs, or broke.

    How I regret ever having listened to those idiots!

    “Happy Hawaii” is so well crafted and so beautifully arranged that makes “Why did it had to be me” look like the demo of this wonderful song…

    Cheers from Sweden

  21. Mais , je viens de regarder sur google, et il y a dû y avoir plusieurs versions; ,je ne peux me tromper car ma copine de l’époque n’avait qu’un seul 45t d’Abba que je ne connaissais pas , avec take chance on me, et j’ai cherché Happy hawaii, épisodiquement depuis lol

  22. En france, in France, it was released as a B side to Take a chance on me, c’était la face B de take a chance on me.
