“Hawaii '78” was actually written by four people... Micky
Ioane, Abe Keala, Cleyton Kua, and David Crowley. Now you know... the rest of the story!
Dave is also the co-writer of “Hula Lady” with Gordon Broad, who wrote the classic “Sweet Lady of Waiahole”. Also Dave wrote “Lady Of My Dreams”. All songs featured on Moonsurfer Productions Karaoke Discs. Dave is also the writer of the Hawaiian ballad, “E ho’o
pili mau, I ku’u pu’u wai” (Hawaiian translation by the late Helena Hana Santos), which appeared on the very first HOMEGROWN album in 1976 (produced by the legend Ron Jacobs and KKUA).
Also, Dave has written dozens of jingles in the last 30 years, for businesses both in Hawaii and on the mainland. His most lasting and popular jingle was the theme song for Mike Sakamoto’s TV show, “Fishing Tales”. In 1987, Michael W. Perry stated, “Kawika is responsible for one of the most catchy and recognizable jingles on television”. It ran for nearly 15 years, the longest in Hawaii television history, second only to KGMB-TV’s classic theme song.

Kawika has long been a vocal opponent of circumcision...during his years as a stand up comedian, one of his most popular bits was a humorous bit on the ignorance of this barbaric practice. It's rated "A" for adult. Have a great laugh! And Pass it on! |
