Rich here.
The song blasted from the radio speaker and made me push my car's accelerator. But I didn't quite know how to label "Savage Night" when I first heard it. It featured a blaring horn section, a whammy-bar-driven lead guitar, pattering bongos, and a hipster vibe.
The band was The Blue Hawaiians. Were they a tiki culture band?
And was "Savage Night" a surf record? A slumming jazz instrumental? A kitsch homage to grass skirts and coconut bras? A lost Henry Mancini dive into rock? The soundtrack to a noirish crime movie? I'll let you decide.
Whatever it is, it cooks.
