Hawaii Girl by The Snortles
Lyrics by Suno and Melvin Ah Ching | 2025, 2026
This song is a year in the making. It was the first song I "created" with most of the input generated by Suno; lyrics and music. Found out later that songs in the free tier do not count for commercial distribution... Whatever.
I wanted to create the kind of pop rock music that was popular in the mid 1960s mostly with the arrival of British invasion bands and later their American imitators. So what came out are The Snortles, my AI band that will be used for similar songs written by me for that virtual persona. This song brings this kind of music to the 21st century.
I created this song in September 2025 and then I let it sit for many months because the lyrics were not good enough as created by Suno's AI generator. I was also busy doing other stuff. It all went to the backburner.
I later edited the lyrics and fed the song into new prompts which turned out unlistenable copies. Yuck. So I let it "Hawaii Girl" sit again until this summer, when I had the song regenerated with revised lyrics. Two versions came out (as is the usual standard when using Suno), and I liked both. Chose one, and this is the it. I got the song remastered in Suno.
Since this song is all AI might well go all in for AI with this so called music video. "Hawaii Girl" is basically just a slide show that I assembled using various AI created images that I created for use with the song. Creating the images took several months to process. The videos were all put together in a single day and night.
Having only an older Mac for this kind of stuff, I put the whole slideshow thing into Apple's Photo app, downloaded the music, processed it using whatever iTunes is called today. I then had both the Photos and iTunes apps synchronize the music and video the best they could. I had to manually move individual images around in the slide show storyboard in order to synch it as best as possible with the song lyrics. The final result is not perfect, but for the most part it works.
The one major thing I learned from "Hawaii Girl" is it's best to write your own lyrics. That way even if the music itself cannot be copywrited, human created and written lyrics are! Just keep all of your documentation during the writing process.
Kick back and enjoy two minutes and twenty seconds of "Hawaii Girl". The lyrics are posted below:
______________
[Verse]
Aloha said the sign
Bags were checked in perfect time
To find a girl
To give my world
A brand new shine
[Prechorus]
Sunshine state on my mind
To leave my cares far behind
[Chorus]
Hawaii girl
You rock my world
Hawaii girl
You're my pearl
[Verse 2]
Down on Waikiki Beach
Each girl was just a peach
Then I saw her
Like a blur
Just within my reach
[Prechorus]
She came to me
From across the sea
[Chorus]
Hawaii girl
You rock my world
Hawaii girl
You're my pearl.
[fade out with guitar solo]
