This one was sort of difficult but this is what I came up with.

Kokomo - The Beach Boys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ChADh1zt5I

Here is an interesting article on the song: http://www.songplaces.com/Kokomo/Islamorada_Florid...

And the last paragraph reads: According to the band, the inspiration for the song was a pool-side bar at a hotel in Islamorada, one of the little island towns in the Florida Keys. In fact, the video was shot at Grand Floridian Resort at Walt Disney World in Florida. Yes, that's right, we're in Florida. And we're staying there. With Walt Disney involved, if we dig any deeper we're likely to find out that they used animatronic Beach Boys.

I picture a very cool hotel we stayed at in Ft. Lauderdale and to me that was "Kokomo". ~Zebra~
