Sobre el álbum
El álbum Blue Hawaii, de 1961, es la banda sonora de una de las películas más famosas y taquilleras de Elvis Presley. Este trabajo es uno de sus discos más vendidos y el que marca el inicio de una etapa en la que su música se orientaría de manera casi exclusiva a las bandas sonoras. El sonido del disco es exótico y está muy influenciado por la música hawaiana.
La producción del álbum es brillante y está dominada por las guitarras de acero, los ukeleles y los ritmos polinesios. El disco tiene una atmósfera de paraíso tropical que conectó de manera masiva con el público.
El álbum contiene la que sería una de sus baladas más icónicas y queridas: "Can't Help Falling in Love". Esta canción, de una belleza y una sencillez extraordinarias, se ha convertido en un clásico inmortal y en una de las canciones de amor más populares de todos los tiempos. El disco también incluye el enérgico "Rock-A-Hula Baby".
'Blue Hawaii' es un trabajo de un éxito arrollador que ya anticipaba el camino de la fórmula y la repetición que marcaría gran parte de su carrera en los años 60.

Letra
Hawaiian sunset peeping from the sea Smiles and says Aloha to his sweetheart Hawaii The drowsy islands slumber one by one Close their sleepy eyelids say goodnight to the sun Then Hawaii like millions of times before Blossoms in her lover's arms once more Too soon the sunrise will wake her from her sleep So until tomorrow, sleep Hawaii sleep. - Beach Boy Blues2:00
Letra
(words & music by sid tepper - roy bennett) I'm a poor hawaiian beach boy A long way from the beach 'cause someone shoved his face against my hand Now I'm a kissing cousin to a ripe pineapple I'm in the can I was minding my own business But drinking daddy's juice I swear I'll never touch that stuff again Just like a pig before he gave his all that aluhau I'm in the pen Got those beach boy blues Don't the time go slow Lonely beach boy blues Only 30 day's and 90 years to go I want a taste of honey From my wahini's lips I want to be her ever loving man But I'm a kissing cousin to a ripe pineapple I'm in the can But I'm a kissing cousin to a ripe pineapple I'm in the can - Island Of Love (Kauai)2:40
