"Kokomo" was introduced to younger audiences when it was covered by Jim Henson's Muppets on the album Muppet Beach Party in 1993. The Beach Boys' lyrics were changed from "gave me a tropical contact high" to the more family-friendly phrase "under a tropical island sky" for the Muppets' rendition.
Simply titled “Kokomo”, the song describes two lovers taking a trip to an island somewhere in the Caribbean, near the Florida Keys. It mentions a few other islands, like Aruba, Jamaica, Bermuda, and the Bahamas — those we know.
