The Feeling Inside "Funky Hula Groove"
Tradition gets a rebel heart as the grass skirt dances to a funky bassline that burns with fresh energy and makes you move in ways you never expected.
Within Kai Mana, this song is one facet of love for Maui: gratitude, memory, longing, sensuality, reverence, playfulness, or release shaped for listeners who arrive with different moods and needs.

Lyrics and Hawaiian Gloss
Don't need a grass skirt or a lei
To move your body, move it my way
The old folks chant, and that's all right
But we're steppin' out into the night!
They got the stories, we got the beat
From your head down to your dancing feet!
Eh, Leilani, show 'em how!
My hula's gonna break the rules now!
Is that a smile or a sly little smirk?
It's the new hula, baby, watch it work!
It's the Hula No Ka Oi!
Shake it fast under the sky!
That funky bass is in the place
Wipin' the look right off your face!
It's the Hula No Ka Oi!
A brand new fire, a brand new joy!
Your grandpa's hula told a tale
My hula's gonna make you wail!
It's in the hips, a little dip
A little motion on the lip
It's not just ancient, it's alive!
This funky groove is how we thrive!
Eh, Kekoa, you feel that thump?
Yeah, it's hit me in the rump!
You hear the call, you know the sound!
This new hula's takin' ground!
It's the Hula No Ka Oi! (The best!)
Shake it fast under the sky!
That funky bass is in the place
Wipin' the look right off your face!
It's the Hula No Ka Oi!
A brand new fire, a brand new joy!
Yeah, that's it... let the ipu rest...
We got a new pulse in our chest!
The rhythm's old, the feel is new...
This funky hula's just for you!
Hula No Ka Oi!
The best there is!
Feel that groove!
Don't ever stop…
To move your body, move it my way
The old folks chant, and that's all right
But we're steppin' out into the night!
They got the stories, we got the beat
From your head down to your dancing feet!
Eh, Leilani, show 'em how!
My hula's gonna break the rules now!
Is that a smile or a sly little smirk?
It's the new hula, baby, watch it work!
It's the Hula No Ka Oi!
Shake it fast under the sky!
That funky bass is in the place
Wipin' the look right off your face!
It's the Hula No Ka Oi!
A brand new fire, a brand new joy!
Your grandpa's hula told a tale
My hula's gonna make you wail!
It's in the hips, a little dip
A little motion on the lip
It's not just ancient, it's alive!
This funky groove is how we thrive!
Eh, Kekoa, you feel that thump?
Yeah, it's hit me in the rump!
You hear the call, you know the sound!
This new hula's takin' ground!
It's the Hula No Ka Oi! (The best!)
Shake it fast under the sky!
That funky bass is in the place
Wipin' the look right off your face!
It's the Hula No Ka Oi!
A brand new fire, a brand new joy!
Yeah, that's it... let the ipu rest...
We got a new pulse in our chest!
The rhythm's old, the feel is new...
This funky hula's just for you!
Hula No Ka Oi!
The best there is!
Feel that groove!
Don't ever stop…
