Bette Midler has a delightful recording of “Lovely Hula Hands“, a classic Hawaiian song written by Robert Alex Anderson in 1939. It’s a charming, tropical tribute to the graceful movements of hula dancers.
Her version is a rare gem from around 1974 (never officially released on an album at the time), and she shared, or it was highlighted via her fan site.
Lyrics snippet from her rendition (full classic lyrics):
Lovely hula hands
Graceful as the birds in motion
Gliding like the gulls over the ocean
Lovely hula hands, kou lima nani e
(It’s a light, swaying tune with that signature Bette warmth and playful delivery.)No full video performance of her singing seems to be widely available, but the audio captures her beautiful voice perfectly, evoking that aloha spirit. If you’re a fan, this one’s a fun deep cut.
