Be shaken. Be stirred. A whimsical wham-bam of exotic enchantments, sleazy oddities, pop fancies, and swingin’ slingers broadcast from Ridgewood, NYC’s very own Shangri-Lounge. Best served chilled, garnished with signature swizzle schtick.

I saw that in the archives! Looks great, will have to check it out forthwith.

I spent Sat morn helping the missus in the kitchen, preparing treats for a party we went to later that day, at the house of our friends Tony &Eric, whose house is festooned with so much mid-century furnishings, tiki stuff, and movie memorabilia that I could only hang my head in shame.

I was wondering how long it would take for Shangri-Lounge to stump Shazam. Her shows are usually full of great weird stuff.

Aw, but I'm sure your friends were so glad to share some time with you and Mrs. Fab.

That sounds like a fun party! I was trying to convince my boss at work that we should buy / carry more tiki records, and he wasn't so convinced. I will continue to do the Lord's - ahem, tiki god's - work, and try to work some voodoo on him. We could use some Martin Denny, at least.

Would you believe it's Milton DeLugg and The Little Eskimos from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians!

Shangri-Lounge works in mysterious ways.
Avatar 🍒 Swag For Life Member 7:23pm
Krys O.:

I didn't allude to DeLugg's association with the soundtrack to that kitsch classic film starring Pia Zadora on my show. I'm saving up the Xmas stuff (said like Chuck Barris) for the 20th.

Even on Mars, with Santa.

This movie was so bad, and not necessarily in a so-bad-it's-good way.

Even the MST3K rendition of "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians" feels about 30 minutes too long. There's just not a lot of there, there.

Right on! Not necessarily in your town, but Portland at least def has some great tiki bars, from what I understand.

They do! We used to do more Tiki Bar crawls when we lived there. The best we can manage here is "Chinese Restaurant Lounge" crawls, which are not bad, but... lacking in some ways.

Oh, yeah. I remember slogging through it.

TCM showed the hilariously awful A Visit to Santa just like every year:

Another annual short that TCM shows is Santa in Animal Land, a puppet film from 1948. It's too scary for kids and adults too.

Ernest Tubb!!! Christmas Island.

Tubb's style is the pinnacle of honky-tonk sangin'.

Christmas Island makes me think of The Secret of Magic Island. That's a movie with Swedish dialogue, no subtitles, and a cast consisting of trained animals.
