Jo-c from Lima, PeruThis sounds like 80's porn backing music.

State and local television news ran features showing the least romantic aspects of the city (especially dreary winter scenes) and interviewing residents and city officials.

Ekristheh from Halath, United StatesResidents of the city of Kokomo were highly amused by the 'exotic tropical escape' motif of the song.

I would submit, however, that Perry Como's Kokomo was a good deal cheerier than that of the Beach Boys. It was certainly the first, and I think last, r n r song for Mr Como. The song was the first nominally rock-n-roll recording from that well-known avant-garde label, RCA. In that one, Kokomo was the name, presumably the nickname, of a young lady.

Mark from Lancaster, OhHarken unto the voice of the Ancient One: There was a song with the identical title recorded by Perry Como.

Roger from Sumnwe, WaTerry once told me that he received $250,000 per year in royalties from KOKOMO.

Caitlin from Upper Township, Njgreat song to get smashed to.

Jim from Nyc, NyThe Muppets version is a hoot - it's on the 25th anniversary video.

The actual steel drum player was the talented Vince Charles who played percussion with Neil Diamond for over 20 years before his untimely death.

Tmac from Indianapolis, InJohn Stamos PROTRAYED a drum player in the video - he did not actually play the drums.

Landon from Winchester, OhThis song is about all the simplicities of life, getting out there on the beach in the summertime and soaking up the sun.

Not only are the lyrics dumb their lame rhymes accentuate the annoying beat of this song.

Musicmama from New York, NyHow is it that some bands' worst songs become their most popular? This is the perfect example.

My standards for music aren't as high as most of you guy's.

Landon from Winchester, OhWhy all the fussing? This song is plain and simple enough to listen to, and enjoy the smaller things.

Some of it was taped for use in a television commercial promoting the NW Venue. Seattle DJ Mark Christopher/KBSG was the master behind this and got clearance of NFL to make it happen 2007 & 08 during Beach Boys performances.

Mark from Seattle, WaThe Seattle Sea Gals Cheerleaders have been on stage dancing to this song with the band more than any other NFL Cheerleader squad and also broke out proper beach attire (bikini tops and wrap arounds)to make the performance more effective.

Overplayed on the radio & made me very angry because it was frrrreezing at the time, too! Hard to imagine the tropics when your nose is froze! )

Susan from Airdrie, -This song reminds me of January 1989, when it was popular.

Very slow, dreamy, and unbelievably great! I'll never forget that night as long as I live.

It was there that I first heard 'Kokomo', just Scott with an acoustic guitar. I went to hear him that night, and got to do a couple of my tunes during the evening. Scott was still singing a little, and had a gig one night at a now long-gone restaurant and club called 'Simon Seagull's'. Scott McKenzie was living there at the time, and we had been in touch by snail mail and phone, I think, prior to that. Len Jaffe from Silver Spring, Md, MdI was on a business trip in the summer of 1986 in Virginia Beach, VA.Is When Miss Piggy Gets Angry And Karate Chops Cory Stoczynski from Lancaster, NyMy Favorite Part Of The Muppets' Version.
