Blast from the past! Got the first six, but the other three are so well hidden in the song, I never even knew they were there.

Because I couldn't understand "that Montserrat mystique," for years I sang it as "that moldy rotten stink."

I always heard 'Montserrati steak.' Figured it was some Caribbean dish that if I was rich/cultured I'd know about.

Actually, I thought they were singing "Montserrat, Mustique" (another Caribbean island) and I couldn't figure out why the quiz was accepting Montserrat but not Mustique.

The moldy rotten stink is Port-au-Prince. Kokomo, Indiana is far more a tropical paradise than that hell hole.

Hmm I had some of the sounds sort of in my head, for instance I was sure havana was in there ( cause remember humming hahama or something) but it was bahamas. Very weird that aruba is relatively low ! It is what it starts with. it was the only one i got together with jamaica. but I was extremely young when I heard it, and havent heard it in like 25 years atleast

Florida ( "Off the Florida keys" ) should be counted as a place I believe. Great quiz!

It is a little trickier, so be warned.

In uni, our script writing professor played this song on repeat for an entire hour long class for April Fools. It is now etched into my brain permanently.
