American Music Club(often abbreviated AMC) is a San Francisco-based band led by singer-songwriter Mark Eitzel. They've been recording and playing in SF clubs since the mid 1980's, showing a remarkable longevity for a band that has been far more critically acclaimed than financially successful. Although commonly lumped with other bands from the " slowcore" and " sadcore" movements, like the Red House Painters, AMC is better known for mastering the disparate strands of American music into a wholly unique synthesis all their own. Although born in California, frontman Mark Eitzel spent his formative years in Great Britain and Ohio before returning to the Bay Area in 1980. After a brief stint with the punk band he founded American Music Club in 1983 with guitarist Vudi, bassist , keyboardist Brad Johnson, and drummer .

Hula Maiden Lyrics

American Music Club

Well I got into waikiki
And I spend my time up in the hotel room
No sunburn for me
No friends no family
Yes I see the view
Well I think I seen it somewhere before
Curled up on the sand
Curled up on the floor
And the hula maiden says
Ill give you everything for free
Youre as hungry as the tide
Thats drowning me
Well I took my big free ride
I went out to the big barbecue
And I got smashed on the beach
I was thinking about you
This is my big aloha
Brought to you from the volcano state
Where they serve up your soul
For $3.99 a plate
And the hula maiden says
Ill give you everything for free
Oh sugar youre as hungry as the tide
Thats washing over me
And the hula maiden said
Oh darling I see it in your eyes
Well did you do it over here beautiful
Did you come here to die
Well she said did you come here to buy
Well this my big aloha
Coming to you from the volcano state
Where they lose track of your soul
And never bring you your spaghetti plate
