My Dad said that his parents were really into Al Hirt. Not sure why this Latin-y song is titled after "Java" in Indonesia. Would make a good ironic, upbeat soundtrack item in a "year of the living dangerously" type historical drama set in Indonesia.

@kat: I love "Tijuana Taxi" and the other TB songs--but that was an expert trumpet, and a fun backing band! Hearing a poor trumpet lead over and over would get real grating real fast!
