Annette Funucello was Americas Sweetheart of the 1960's and an icon of the Endless Summer California Surf Music and Beach Scene. She was a terrific person in real life too. That charisma and beauty plus personality and intelligence and talent made her a hearthrob of every young man's dreams. She was the one. Wow! She had it all then the Fame. RIP in Heaven, you touched many lives and made this a better World.
Your comment made me smile! My toddler’s middle name is Annette after my mother in law. We heard this song on one of the Disney stations and I told my wife how much our girl loved it and that the singer was named Annette from the Mickey Mouse Club. My wife said, “Oh yeah, that’s who Mom was named after.” I’ve been calling her my little Pineapple Princess since then.

What nice comments. It's telling that a number of people your age love the music from the 50s and first half of the 60s. I love Annette too. Even though I'm almost 56, I'm still too young to have appreciated her in her heyday.
Annette Funicello was pure class! She never got caught up by all the Hollywood hype and drama! The stars of today can take a lesson or two from her. So sad that she's no longer here. Rest in Peace Annette. I and the rest of the world miss you!
Sad she's no longer with us, but even more sad that she spent the last 10 or so years of her life as a vegetable. Multiple sclerosis is one of the cruelest ways to go.
"Pineapple princess", he calls me pineapple princess all day As he plays his ukulele on the hill above the bay "Pineapple princess, I love you, you're the sweetest girl I've seen" "Some day we're gonna marry and you'll be my pineapple queen" I saw a boy on Oahu isle Floatin' down the bay on a crocodile He waved at me and he swam ashore And I knew he'd be mine forevermore CHORUS He sings his song from banana trees He even sings to me on his water skis We went skin-divin' and beneath the blue He sang and played his ukulele, too "Pineapple princess", I love you, you're the sweetest girl I've seen "Some day we're gonna marry and you'll be my pineapple queen" We'll settle down in a bamboo hut And he will be my own little coconut Then we'll be beachcombin' royalty On wicky-wicky wacky Waikiki. CHORUS
@@bruced.campbell4498 Dude.. because he wanted to? Does it matter if there already is one or if it is original? No. It's not. I actually saw this comment with the lyrics before the actual lyrics posted. Do you have anything original to say? No. I thought so.
This song was written by the Sherman Brothers, the same guys responsible for the song "It's a small world". This probably explains why I can't get this song out of my head.
My mom told me she used to hear this song on tv a lot, and she loved it, so that's how I know it As a pineapple lover, I am proud to declare myself a Pineapple Princess
A #11 hit for Annette in the Summer of 1960. She was then only 17! She had her biggest hit with "Tall Paul" (1959) at #7, one of the shortest timed songs at 1 min 38 sec. She hit with "O Dio Mio", also in 1960, at #10. Oct. 22, 1942 - Apr. 8, 2013. R.I.P.
If you listen to Pineapple Princess with this sound quality, it will be a storm of excitement. It's comfortable Thank you very much. thats google translated
[2010] Happy Birthday Dear Annette I was in a record store yesterday and they had the cover of Annette Sings Anka on their wall. Must go back there and take a photo of it. Pineapple Princess has always been my favourite Annette song. Lifelong Annette Fan, Auckland, New Zealand.
I've always loved this song. Brings back memories when I used to play the 45 rpm of this song over and over (probably wore it out) on my suitcase-like record player back in the 60s. Then I went on to enjoy Annette in all those beach party moves she made. Thanks so much for sharing it here.
God bless Annette there will be a place for her in heaven after her long sad illness. She gave us so many happy moments over the years and reminds us what a great country this used to be.
Annette - my favorite Mousekiteer on the Mickey Mouse Club show! Some how, after all these years, this "Pineapple Princess" song came to my mind while watching a Disney Parks DVD tonight.
In our teens my friend and I used to race motocross. Driving back from a race one time this song came on AM radio and we laughed hysterically. I love the song but it took me 10 or 15 years before I found out it was Annette. I thought the announcer send Paulette when the song ended and I never could find anyone by that name singing this song. That was decades before the internet came along and information was much harder to get. But now I have it stored on a playlist of fun songs
What a great talent she was. So pure . She was so popular. I wanted to be her back in the day. Copied her hair do and clothes. Saw all the beach movies a fashion times and still watch them today!!!!. What a great time to grow up. BUT I am so sad for what happened to her and her MS. So very sad. Why her. She couldnt have been any sweeter of a person. She died a horrible death. Didnt deserve that at all. RIP ANNETTE. I will always love u sweetie. There should more people in the world like u. .🥰😥😥💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🏖
Annette was a Princess on the Micky Mouse Club when I was a very young kid and her song Tall Paul got me hooked on rock-n-roll back then. I guess rock-n-roll will never die as the great songs like this will live forever.
The Disney girls of today should watch,and listen,and study this beauty.She was really the girl next door,very very sweet,proper,and a true lady...rest in peace dear Annette
Growing up I thought if I could only be like Annett Funicello I would be perfect. Well no one was or ever will be her. RIP Wonder Woman. God has always had you in his arms enjoy his embrace.
The song was written especially for her by Richard & Robert Sherman (who later wrote the songs for "Mary Poppins" and other Disney films), and was a "Top 40" hit for her in the summer of 1960, and featured on her "Hawaiiannette" album.
On this day in 1960 {September 22nd} Annette appeared on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'; but not as a musical guest, instead she took bandstanders on a tape tour of her home in Encino, California... At the time her "Pineapple Princess" was at #17 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; four days later on September 26th it would peak at #11 {for 1 week} and it stayed on the chart for 14 weeks... Between 1959 and 1961 she had ten* Top 100 records; two made the Top 10, "Tall Paul" peaked at #7 in 1959 and "O Dio Mio" reached #8 in 1960... * Actually it was only nine records, for both sides of her fourth charted record made the Top 100, "First Name Initial" peaked at #20 in 1959 while the flip-side, "My Heart Became of Age" reached #74...
Wow Annette is absolutely beautiful. Shoot if I was alive back in those days shes the one my heart would go to! Its really sad to know that she has MS now:(.
Boy!! Wend I was about 10. I got this song a dime & nicle music store in Millwaukee Wisconsin. 40 years later talking to a friend I look it up on google. And there it was. That is so cool. That we can do that now a day. Now I play and record my own music. Edwin M. Santiago, aka (Pupa) from the bands Santaigo & Loisaida. Look me up. Thank you for the memories.
