Don Ho, the man, the legend passes away

Don Ho passes away...

HONOLULU, Hawaii (AP) -- Legendary crooner Don Ho, who entertained tourists for decades wearing raspberry-tinted sunglasses and singing the catchy signature tune "Tiny Bubbles," has died. He was 76.

He died Saturday morning of heart failure, publicist Donna Jung said.

Ho entertained Hollywood's biggest stars and thousands of tourists for four decades. For many, no trip to Hawaii was complete without seeing his Waikiki show -- a mix of songs, jokes, double entendres, Hawaii history and audience participation.

Shows usually started and ended with the same song, "Tiny Bubbles." Ho mostly hummed as the audience enthusiastically took over the song's swaying, silly lyrics: "Tiny bubbles/in the wine/make me happy/make me feel fine."

"I hate that song," he often joked to the crowd. He said he saved it for the end because "people my age can't remember if we did it or not."

Personally, I was one degree away from Don Ho. One of my ex's had him on a TV show she was working on. He was there to talk about the language of the Hawaiians. Perhaps the result will show up on YouTube?

Dark Tower!

This post is low Tiki, but high Mojo. In my mom's basement I found Dark Tower a game we played the heck out of as kids. Alas, our Dark Tower has gone dark and even fresh spanking new batteries does not bring it to life. While we wait for the $30 to get mine fixed you can

Play Dark Tower in Flash!

But I somehow can't help but think the band ended tragically

Watch them play their hearts out:
