The original instrux were: Bold the ones you like, and tell us why.

Kokomo-Beach Boys Wow, I was singing this so much in February. It's the one that goes

"Aruba, Jamaica, oooh I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mamma,
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go
Down to Kokomo, we'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow..."
