Songs of the early 1900s were anything however the status quo in topic or style.
Excessively long titles, novelty tunes and "foreign themes" permeated the piles of sheet music in the regional music shops.
1916's "Oh How She Might Yacki Hacki Wicki Wacki Woo (That's Love in Honolu)" covered a variety of these peculiarities within one publication. This Hawaiian-tinged tune evoked the mystical ways of the South Seas islands, in spite of the abridging of Honolulu to ìHonoluî.
Nonetheless, the hand lettered title of this particular piece of sheet music included an Art Nouveau-influenced strong block letter with rounded corners. Itís now offered digitally as Smooth Sailing JNL, in both routine and oblique versions.
