Kokomo

"Kokomo" is a song by The Beach Boys that was released in 1988. It is written in the key of C major. The song holds significance as it marked The Beach Boys' comeback in the late 1980s, reaching No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song was performed by the band's current lineup, consisting of Mike Love, Carl Wilson, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and Brian Wilson. It was co-written by Mike Love, Terry Melcher, John Phillips, and Scott McKenzie. Fun fact: The song was featured in the popular movie "Cocktail" starring Tom Cruise. Musically, "Kokomo" is characterized by its tropical vibe, beach-inspired lyrics, and catchy melody that has made it a signature tune of The Beach Boys' later career.
