Sometimes it just is what it is. Harleys in Hawaii is a trash song. Just not good. The KANDY remix is great. Part of what I love about it is that it’s still super trashy.

The lyrics are incredibly bad. Inspirationally bad.

You and I, I
Ridin’ Harleys in Hawaii-i-i
I’m on the back, I’m holdin’ tight, I
Want you to take me for a ride, ride
When I hula-hula, hula
So good, you’ll take me to the jeweler-jeweler, jeweler
There’s pink and purple in the sky-y-y
We’re ridin’ Harleys in Hawaii-i-i (Ha)

Despite how hard Katy Perry works to make a terrible song, the KANDY remix is a banger. It takes the song back to that weird phase where Katy Perry put out Swish Swish and Bon Appetite which were so good but so strange. That’s what I want though. It’s a solid car tune, turning it up until the bass wobbles the car.
