The lads are known for their explosive live show but have recently been focusing on recording new tunes with Producer/Engineer Joel Quartermain (Eskimo Joe). Over the lifetime of the band, the chaps have performed alongside International and Aussie legends such as Ocean Alley, Winston Surfshirt, Lime Cordiale, Ozomatli (US), The Beautiful Girls, The Skatalites (JAM) and many more.
Their Second EP 'No Time to Lose.' Described as "The full gamut through melodic psychedelia, summertime guitar-pop vibes, trippy jam sessions featuring big horns, phat dub-reggae, upbeat gypsy ska and atmospheric indie-rock. The whole thing is brimming with enthusiasm, melody, joy, and just the right amount of attitude" -Dom Givney
Happy Days
The Kava Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll be grooving 'til the night gets old
Relax, don't have to do what you're told
Milk and honey for that heart and soul
Happy days
Yeah we're dreaming of them happy days
So sit back, relax, and let it take hold
Yeah we're dreaming of them happy days
So sit back, relax, and let it take hold
Sun is out, then the weaves are clean
Girls are lookin' better than the magazines
Polaroid picture, livin' a dream
So sit back, relax, and come and grab a bottle
'Cause chilling with a beer, that's the Kava King motto
Who cares about tomorrow?
Who cares about tomorrow?
Happy days
Yeah we're dreaming of them happy days
So sit back, relax, and let it take hold
Happy days
Yeah we're dreaming of them happy days
So sit back, relax, and let it take hold
Now I'm working all the time
Just wanna pack it up and move to paradise
That's where I'll shine
Where I'll shine, shine, shine
Hope this days will last forever
Got that weekend on my mind!
Happy days
Yeah we're dreaming of them happy days
So sit back, relax, and let it take hold
Happy days
Yeah we're dreaming of them happy days
So sit back, relax, and let it take hold
Happy days
Yeah we're dreaming of them happy days
So sit back, relax, and let it take hold
Happy days
Yeah we're dreaming of them happy days
So sit back, relax, and let it take hold
In the song "Happy Days" by The Kava Kings, the band urges the listener to let go of their worries and let the music take control. The upbeat tempo and cheerful melody are meant to encourage listeners to forget about their troubles and enjoy the moment. The lyrics are about enjoying life's simple pleasures, such as good company, cold beer, and beautiful scenery.
The song's title, "Happy Days," references the popular television series of the same name that aired in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The show was set in the late 1950s and early 1960s and focused on the lives of a family in small-town America. The show's lighthearted tone and focus on nostalgic themes of friendship and family likely inspired the band's positive, carefree lyrics.
The lines "Girls are looking better than the magazines / Polaroid picture, living a dream" suggest that the band is urging listeners to appreciate the beauty in the world around them, rather than focusing on unrealistic standards set by the media. It suggests that taking a moment to appreciate the beauty in the everyday can help someone to feel happier and more content.
