Pineapple Princess, he calls me pineapple princess all day As he plays his ukelele on the hill above the bay Pineapple Princess, I love you you’re the sweetest girl I’ve seen Someday we’re gonna marry and you’ll be my Pineapple Queen I saw a boy in Ohau isle Floating down the bay on a crocodile He waved at me and he swam ashore And I knew he’d be mine forevermore Pineapple Princess, he calls me Pineapple Princess all day As he plays his ukelele on the hill above the bay Pineapple Princess, I love you you’re the sweetest girl I’ve seen Someday we’re gonna marry and you’ll be my Pineapple Queen He sings his song from banana trees He even sings to me on his water skis We went skiing-diving and beneath the blue He sang and play his ukelele too Pineapple Princess, he calls me Pineapple Princess all day As he plays his ukelele on the hill above the bay Pineapple Princess, I love you you’re the sweetest girl I’ve seen Someday we’re gonna marry and you’ll be my Pineapple Queen We’ll settle down in a bamboo hut And he will be my own little coconut Then we’ll be beach-combing royalty On wicky, wicky, wacky waikiki Pineapple Princess, he calls me Pineapple Princess all day As he plays his ukelele on the hill above the bay Pineapple Princess, I love you you’re the sweetest girl I’ve seen Someday we’re gonna marry and you’ll be my Pineapple Queen

Secret Song 01:58
I have got a secret that I want to let you know I can’t keep it to myself anymore Today I’m gonna tell you I don’t want to let you go It’s something that I should have said before But everyday my heart is learning Everyday the world is turning and turning We could walk out in the rain or stay home for a while It really doesn’t matter what we do Now you know my secret, well I hope it makes you smile And I hope you feel the same way too Cause everyday my heart is falling Everyday my love is calling and calling Will you kiss me like you say? Will you miss me if I fly away? If I fly away

I know you belong to somebody new But tonight you belong to me Although we’re apart, you’re a part of my heart And tonight you belong to me Lay down by the stream How sweet it would seem Once more just to dream In the moonlight My honey I know with the dark that you will be gone But tonight you belong to me But tonight you belong to me Just to little old me

Cuando pesen demasiado la rutina El trabajo y la vida en la ciudad Nos iremos en un viaje infinito Con esa tonta sensación de libertad Hacia el fondo de ese mundo del que me has hablado tanto Paraíso de glaciares y de bosques polares Donde miedos y temores se convierten en paisajes De infinitos abedules, de hermosura incomparable Dibujamos sobre un mapa imaginario Autopistas de gran velocidad Nos invade una ilusión desconocida Y nuestra única intención es avanzar Hacia el fondo de ese mundo del que me has hablado tanto Paraíso de glaciares y de bosques polares Donde miedos y temores se convierten en paisajes De infinitos abedules, de hermosura incomparable Donde siempre te querré

I Don't Know 02:35
Is it the way that he loves me each day? Really I don’t know Is it the way he knows just what to say? Really I don’t know Is it the way that he needs me whenever we’re apart? Is it the way he believes me, that always melts my heart? I don’t know, I don’t know Is it his hair or the clothes that he’s wearing? Well I don’t know Is it the way that he cares in each moment we’re sharing? Well I don’t know Is it the way that he kisses that makes me want to fly? Is it the way that I miss him before he says goodbye? I don’t know, I don’t know Is it the way that he plays his guitar? Really I don’t know Is it the way that he makes me a star? Really I don’t know Is it the way that he holds me Is that the reason why? Maybe the things that he’s told me? You’ll ask me ‘till I die I don’t know, I don’t know Is it his walk?, is it his talk? Wo, wo, wo I don’t know Is it his smile?, is it his style? Wo, wo, wo I don’t know Is it his hands?, is it his charms? Wo, wo, wo I don’t know Is it his hands?, the way that he stands? Wo, wo, wo I don’t know

Let’s get together, yeah, yeah, yeah Why don’t you and I combine? Let’s get together, what do you say? We can have a swinging time We’d be crazy team Why don’t we make a scene? Together, oh, oh, oh, oh Let’s get together, yeah, yeah, yeah Think of all that we could share Let’s get together, everyday Everyway and everywhere And though we haven’t got a lot We could be sharing all we’ve got Together Oh, I really think you’re swell Aha, we really ring the bell Oh wee, and if you stick with me Nothing could be greater, say hey, alligator! Let’s get together, yeah, yeah, yeah Two is twice as nice as one Let’s get together, right away We’ll be having twice the fun And you can always count on me A gruesome twosome we will be Together, oh, oh, oh, oh Together

NEW ADVENTURES IN POP 032

Cristina Quesada has been showing off the ukulele on stage in Elefant parties and online for a long time now, giving us little advances of her music and making us fall in love with her singular charm. That’s exactly why we were so impatient to see what shape her record-label debut would take. A music-lover from a very young age, she studied music theory and violin starting at age 7, until at 13 she bought a guitar and began to play versions of her favorite songs. She broadened her artistic horizons, joining theater groups, which has led her to her current participation in a children’s program on television in the Canary Islands called, “El Club De Archi”. At 15 she discovered the unmistakable sound of the ukulele, which she thoroughly mastered, and which ultimately led her to record her versions. And this is how we got to the 7” that we currently have before us. The single opens with the well-known “Pineapple Princess”, which pulls on the Hawaiian evocations of the instrument, surrounding her innocent voice and dreamy desires for a perfect love, in that song by the Sherman Brothers, made popular by Annette Funicello. “Secret Song”, on the other hand, highlights the more intimate and melancholic side of things, among luminous harmonies and a delicate glockenspiel, on the first of her original songs. “Tonight You Belong To Me” is a version of a North American classic from 1926, written by Billy Rose and Lee David, that maintains all its delicacy and elegance under Cristina’s trembling voice. On the other side of the single there is a poetic and bare revision of “Viaje A Los Sueños Polares” that shows the marvels of FAMILY’s melodies without additives or flashy touches. “I Don’t Know” was composed with Paul Bevoir, who was responsible for the arrangements and production of the single from London. He brings just the right details to adorn the songs without stealing the spotlight from Cristina’s voice and her omnipresent ukulele. To wrap things up, we have another version. This time it’s “Let’s Together”, which was made famous in the original version of that movie called “Parent Trap” and which was also written by the Sherman brothers, who were responsible for so many scores from the Disney factory, like “Mary Poppins”, “The Aristocats”, and “The Jungle Book”. Is it a nod? Is it a declaration of intentions? What we know for sure is that we’re still here, sighing for our beloved Cristina. You captured Pineapple Princess for us.
