Royal Hawaiian Hotel @ YouTube



This is the 20th hula dancing video :D

This song was written in 1927 by Mary Robbins and Johnny Noble for the grand opening of the now-pink Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

The song describes the beauty of the hotel: velvet beds, green marble walls, and the arching rainbows of Waikiki.

Unlisted hula dancing playlist is shared on my facebook page.
You can find this video there :)
