Hello, Hawaii, How Are You?
- Hello, Hawaii, How Are You?
Hello, Hawaii, How Are You? is a song written in 1915, by Jean Schwartz, Bert Kalmar and Edgar Leslie.
The song refers to one of Marconi's then-new radio-oriented inventions, the Wireless Telephone, which became publicly available that year. It was initially very expensive to use, and this song underscores the caller's desperation to talk to his or her sweetheart in Hawaii, from his or her home in New York City.
The song was recorded in 1915 by Billy Murray, backed with an instrumental version by Dietro Pietro on Side B; and later that year by Broadway star Nora Bayes.
This was Murray's version of the chorus. It was easily adaptable for a woman to sing with just a couple of word changes:
:Hello, Hawaii, how are you?:Let me talk to Honolulu Lou:To ask her this:Give me a kiss:Give me a kiss:By wireless:Please state:I can't wait:To hear her reply:For I had to pawn:Ev'ry little thing I own:To talk from New York:Through the wireless telephone:Oh, Hello, Hawaii, how are you?:Good-bye!
