James Robert "Bob" Wills (March 6, 1905 – May 13, 1975) was an AmericanWestern swing musician, songwriter, and bandleader. Considered by music authorities as the co-founder of Western swing, he was universally known as the King of Western Swing (after the death of Spade Cooley who used the moniker "King Of Western Swing" from 1942 to 1969.)
Wills formed several bands and played radio stations around the South and West until he formed the Texas Playboys in 1934 with Wills on fiddle, Tommy Duncan on piano and vocals, rhythm guitarist June Whalin, tenor banjoist Johnnie Lee Wills, and Kermit Whalin, who played steel guitar and bass. The band played regularly on a Tulsa, Oklahoma radio station and added Leon McAuliffe on steel guitar, pianist Al Stricklin, drummer Smokey Dacus, and a horn section that expanded the band's sound. Wills favored jazz-like arrangements and the band found national popularity into the 1940s with such hits as "Steel Guitar Rag", "New San Antonio Rose", "Smoke On The Water", "Stars And Stripes On Iwo Jima", and "New Spanish Two Step".
"Hawaiian War Chant" was an American popular song whose original melody and lyrics were written in the 1860s by Prince Leleiohoku. The original title of the song was Kāua I Ka Huahuaʻi or "We Two in the Spray." It was not written as a chant, and the Hawaiian lyrics describe a clandestine meeting between two lovers, not a battle. The English title therefore has nothing to do with the song as it was originally written and performed in Hawaii.
The Hawaiian lyrics are unusual because they are often written with the letter "T" appearing where a "K" would be expected by many modern readers. However, the spelling reflects an older pronunciation preserved to a large degree in the more northern islands, such as Niʻihau and Kauaʻi, as well as in other Polynesian languages (hence, e.g., several Polynesian languages' continuing use of tanaka rather than kanaka to mean "man").
Under the original title, the song was recorded around June 1911 by the Crowel Glee Club, and released by Columbia Records.

James Robert "Bob" Wills (March 6, 1905 – May 13, 1975) was an AmericanWestern swing musician, songwriter, and bandleader. Considered by music authorities as the co-founder of Western swing, he was universally known as the King of Western Swing (after the death of Spade Cooley who used the moniker "King Of Western Swing" from 1942 to 1969.)
Wills formed several bands and played radio stations around the South and West until he formed the Texas Playboys in 1934 with Wills on fiddle, Tommy Duncan on piano and vocals, rhythm guitarist June Whalin, tenor banjoist Johnnie Lee Wills, and Kermit Whalin, who played steel guitar and bass. The band played regularly on a Tulsa, Oklahoma radio station and added Leon McAuliffe on steel guitar, pianist Al Stricklin, drummer Smokey Dacus, and a horn section that expanded the band's sound. Wills favored jazz-like arrangements and the band found national popularity into the 1940s with such hits as "Steel Guitar Rag", "New San Antonio Rose", "Smoke On The Water", "Stars And Stripes On Iwo Jima", and "New Spanish Two Step".
With sound engineered and synced by yours truly, here's probably the best sounding *and* looking clip online of "Hawaiian War Chant" by Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra with 24 year old Buddy Rich from the 1942 M-G-M musical motion picture "Ship Ahoy".

I tried to find the lyrics and generally trace the roots of this song. Its original version was written by Hawaiian Prince William Pitt Leleiohoku II, it was called "Kāua I Ka Huahuaʻi" ("We Two in the Spray") and it was about love. In 1936, a new version emerged: "Ta-Hu-Wa-Ha-Hai" (in English it is called "Hawaiian War Chant" - I'm not sure this is a direct translation of the Hawaiian title) written in cooperation with Johnny Noble. The lyrics have changed, part was in English, the song premiered in "Ship Ahoy" - a musical-comedy-romance 1942 movie from MGM. As I understood, BAO took a Hawaiian part of the lyrics for their performance, they go like this (repeated many times):
Tahuwai la a tahuwai wai la
Ehu hene la a pili koo lua la
Pututui lu a ite toe la
Hanu lipo ita paalai
Au we ta huala
Au we ta huala
Google translates them like this:
Bless them and bless the waters
It has about four days
Put them on again
Smooth lipo
We can do it
We can do it
Maybe in the BAO performance there were some other verses too.
By the way, I saw BAO again in Stockholm in August 2019, they were incredible as ever and they of course sang this song.
