The Horde — strange retro-tropical dance rock mixing vintage Polynesian exotica, mid-century crooner swing, spooky surf and modern post-punk drive, Deep male baritone: dry, relaxed, deadpan, slightly amused, delivering ridiculous lines completely seriously, Warm rolling bass, hand percussion, clean tropical guitar and vintage organ, Blend in brushed jazz drums, upright bass, playful piano and occasional muted brass like a classy 1950s vacation commercial, Add eerie spring-reverb surf twang, tremolo accents and ghostly guitar answers, “Bora Bora / gimme mora mora / pour-a pour-a / gimme more-a more-a” is a huge rhythmic singalong hook with backing vocals, Keep it genuinely catchy, energetic and danceable while the lyrics get increasingly stupid, Organic, playful, sexy and strange, No novelty voices, parody vocals, ukulele cliché, reggae, glossy pop, falsetto, audience or theatrical comedy

[Intro – tropical guitar, hand percussion] Bora Bora Gimme mora mora Bora Bora I need a little amor-a [Groove drops] Saved all year Seven little days Ocean blue Sun on my face Bungalow Out on the sea Little umbrella drink Waiting for me [Chorus] Bora Bora Gimme mora mora Pour-a pour-a Gimme more-a more-a Bora Bora I need a little amor-a Pour-a pour-a Gimme more-a more-a [Surf guitar answer] No luggage Nice shorts Wrong sandals Of course Cold drink Warm breeze Don't know what that is Don't touch me, please [Chorus] Bora Bora I need a little amor-a Come a little closer Maybe mora mora Bora Bora Pour-a pour-a Little more rum Gimme more-a more-a [Retro crooner break – brushed drums, piano] Red shoulders SPF fifty Something bit me Somewhere iffy Little more ice Little more rum Can't feel my face ...this is fun. [Brass answer – tropical groove returns] Bora Bora Gimme mora mora Pour-a pour-a Gimme more-a more-a [Spooky surf guitar] Palm tree Ocean view Tiny little lizard In my shoe Good morning What's that smell? ... Never mind. Probably well. [Instrumental – tropical swing gets stranger] [Low baritone] One more. [Chorus – bigger] BORA BORA I NEED A LITTLE AMOR-A POUR-A POUR-A GIMME MORE-A MORE-A Sunburn No shoes Something's swollen Good news No idea What day it is ... Perfect. [Break – brushed drums, upright bass] Bora Bora Mora mora Pour-a pour-a Amor-a [Music builds – surf guitar + tropical percussion] Little bit dizzy Little bit crispy Something still hurts Somewhere iffy [Final Chorus] BORA BORA GIMME MORA MORA BORA BORA I NEED A LITTLE AMOR-A POUR-A POUR-A GIMME MORE-A MORE-A BORA BORA MORA MORA AMOR-A MORE-A MORE-A [Hard stop] Something bit me. ... Again. [Final tropical guitar sting]
