How come you wen' change da 10 cans of beer to Spam? Your tutu no like encourage unda-age drinking? (I like da change - Spam stay a fo' real gift in Hawai'i.)

[@terrra808]

+Jody Y LOL! The main reason for the change was we made this for church. :) But yes, I prefer spam over beer any day. It's funny living in Jersey now. I still make spam n eggs for breakfast and spam musubi for snacks. HAHA!

[@OanhSchlesinger]

Haha Jody Y omg you make me laugh! Spam a fo' real gift is funny!

[@erictoniaschwab1009]

To this day at almost 50 years old and having lived in the mainland for 38 years, I couldn’t sing the original version of this song (partridge in a pear tree is pretty much all I know) but I STILL know da Hawaiian version by heart. No matter how old I am, I will always be a Hilo boy.

very cute.... but what do the 12 TVs have to do with Hawaii? Seems to not fit in with the theme.

[@terrra808]

That's what the other versions online had. The only thing we changed was it was originally beer instead of spam. :)

[@whito420]

+Hope Hatton, RA haha. You don't know Hawaiians.... ....big Christmas items but I agree. Could pineapples or mangoes or a whole lot of other things!!!!

[@EllPro]

12 televisions? Yeah, not Ha'waiian. The Spam is, since it's a taste treat, but TV's? Ugh

[@terrra808]

TV's were in the original version I found of the song. The only thing I changed was the spam.

[@rchalmers3]

It's my estimation that this unique version of Twelve days was created about the time that there were still too many missionaries around, and the price of televisions came down to the point where everyday people could afford them.
