Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:27pm Matt from Springfield:

My Dad said that his parents were really into Al Hirt. Not sure why this Latin-y song is titled after "Java" in Indonesia. Would make a good ironic, upbeat soundtrack item in a "year of the living dangerously" type historical drama set in Indonesia.

a british tv show called "vision on" used "java" as its out theme. it was rebroadcast on channel 13 in the early 70s. when i eventually heard the tune again sometime in the 90s, on fmu, i was bowled over. hadn't heard it in decades.
