Like a lot of American boys in the 60's, I had a serious crush on Annette Funicello. I suspect it was the juxtaposition of her cute Disney mouse ears and tight angora sweaters that drove us pre-pubescent lads wild. In addition to her stint as a Mouseketeer, she also appeared in a whole slew of lame beach movies, which I nevertheless attended religiously (I remember forcing my dad to take me to see Beach Blanket Bingo while we were living in Iran back in 1966).

Here's HawaiiAnnette warbling Pineapple Princess by Robert and Richard Sherman, who went on to win an Academy Award for writing the Mary Poppins' song, Chim Chim Cheree. Note how they totally rip off the bassline from Brazil.
