"Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" by Side Salad

 


Mililani, Hawaii trio Side Salad double down on the island flair of Rupert Holmes's tale of two jaded lovers independently deciding to commit adultery, then rekindling their once steamy romance following the discovery of their shared affinity for alcohol and beach porkin'.

The song was written well before the advent of Tinder, which is good, because a chuckle at O'Malley's bar during a rendezvous between two would-be cheating spouses that "met" through classified ads would have been a simple swipe left followed by the serving of divorce papers in the modern setting.
