Rap Reiplinger - Poi Dog
Review by Er. Deepak Verma
Poi Dog, the album by Rap Reiplinger, is a classic piece of Hawaiian comedy. The album features hilarious skits and parodies that showcase Reiplinger's wit and humor. The album opens with a parody of a local radio station, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The skits are filled with Hawaiian slang and humor that only a local could understand, but the humor is universal, and anyone can appreciate it.
The album's title track, Poi Dog, is a parody of the popular song "Wild Thing," and it is a perfect example of Reiplinger's ability to take something familiar and turn it into something new and funny. The skit "The Haunted House" is another highlight of the album, where Reiplinger plays a local tour guide taking a group of tourists through a haunted house. The skit is full of clever wordplay and hilarious ghostly sound effects.

.." and that makes you near!"
WHEN LIFE WAS FUN AND EASY FOR A KID.
I bought this at Jelly's for like $2.00. I still have it packed away but I may have to dig it out and play it again.
I was lucky enough to see Rap when he performed with Booga Booga at Territorial Tavern, and by himself. So confounded funny!
Winona Santos!!!
BUCK$ FO LOLO'S, BUCK$ FO LOLO'$, SING IT EVERBODY!!!
He was a genius
Someone needs to upload the tracks from the Booga Booga album.
Brought to you by Wendell's-- home of the 12" laulau!!!
The Polynesian midget - Jensen Nephi Makaho!! Based off some of Honolulu's biggest entertainers at the time. Dick Jensen and Nephi Hanneman. Classic!!! Back in the 80's during the Jerry Lewis telethon - they used to cut away after midnight to each city's local televised production of the live telethon - because local entertainers would be getting off from their nightclub gigs- and would perform to mimic what Jerry Lewis' had been producing from LA, NY, or Vegas. Remember? An every year - for a period of time the Hawaii production got bigger and more elaborate- bringing in a large amount of money!! Thanks Rap- this is so creative - parody at its best!!
So funny that there was a real Mahalo Airlines for a while. Rap never stops being LOL funny. His death was so tragic.
Fate Yanagi lol ！
Hassle marriage with her faddah!!
He’s the best! Wish I was older when I knew him so I could have fully appreciated his genius! He was one of the best uncles ever. I really miss him. No moa braddahs like dis nowadays. Rest In Peace Uncle Rap ???????

I LOVED listening to him as a kid and actually have his CD. And I'm now 56 !
Between Frank Delima and wrap Riplinger LOL you have to lived in Hawaii and understand a bit of the local culture to really have this hit home it was hilarious at the time and still is funny
Raps was da bes! lol so funny. My Uncle Allan bought the record when it first came out and did every skit to da tee! Made us kids laugh too. I watch Raps videos all the time, missing the days of old Hawaii when it was still Hawaii...local kine style.
