  • The Waikikis were a Belgian studio band, mostly known for their single "Hawaii Tattoo", released in the U.S. in 1964, on Kapp Records. "Hawaii Tattoo" was recorded in 1961 in Belgium and spent two months in the Belgian chart. It was a huge hit in Germany, spending 21 weeks in the Top Ten and also reached the Top Fifty in the U.S., Canada and the UK. The album Hawaii Tattoo reached the number 93 spot in the Billboard Hot 200 in 1965. Behind the scenes, record producer Horst Fuchs promoted the band’s career and pulled the strings. Composers such as Jo van Wetter, Willy Albimoor, Hans Blum and Michael Thomas (Martin Böttcher) created songs like "Hawaii Tattoo", "Carnival of Venice", "Mein Hut der hat drei Ecken", "Aloha Parade", "Honolulu Parade" and "Waikiki Welcome". The Waikikis sold their gramophone records by the millions, and some of their own creations like "Hilo Kiss" or "Hula-Hochzeit" ("Hawaii Honeymoon") made their way into the charts in several countries. In 2004 the song "Hawaiian March" was used for the ‘Prince Paul's Bubble Party’ track on the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie film soundtrack. (en)

Componisten als Jo van Wetter, Willy Albimoor, Hans Blum en Michael Thomas (Martin Böttcher) creëerden nummers als Hawaii Tattoo, Carnival of Venice, Mein Hut der hat drei Ecken, Aloha Parade, Honolulu Parade en Waikiki Welcome. De Waikiki's verkochten hun grammofoonplaten met miljoenen en sommige van hun eigen creaties zoals Hilo Kiss of Hula-Hochzeit (Hawaii Honeymoon) vonden hun weg naar de hitlijsten in verschillende landen.
