I haven't heard a recorded version of the song -- but found this on youtube (music, plus lyrics):

Personally, I prefer the football team's haka!!

I know the New Zealand rugby team does the haka before their matches. Anyone know when/why they UH players started doing it? I haven't really been keeping up with UH current events.

From The Honolulu Advertiser:

"The University of Hawai'i football team debuted its new version of the haka before and after Saturday's 49-14 win over Nevada-Las Vegas.

Not to confuse people, this is actually the Hawaiian Ha'a and not the Maori Haka. If you listen closely, it's spoken in fluent Hawaiian and associates Hawaiian movements."

While watching one of their games on TV the commentators said that one player in particular was responsible for coreographing the pre-game dance. They elaborated more but I can't remember the details. I'm assuming it is the one who seems to be taking the lead in the video.

It sure is fun to watch!


What? You mean high "E" is the TOP string. No way dude! That changes everything!
