Does anyone know the name of the Hawaiian song that’s played when Korben (Bruce Willis) and Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) first arrive at Fhloston Paradise and get lei’d? It is not on the soundtrack, and is not listed in the credits.

Such a silly little thing, but it’s been driving me batty for the last couple of weeks. :smack:

According to [this site](http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/fifth_element.html), the score was composed by Eric Serra. [His website](http://www.ericserra.com) is, er, difficult to navigate, so I can’t tell whether that piece has a title or not.

Did a little research…apparantly it’s called “Vacation Cruise” but was only on a promotional version of the DVD. Tried to find the track, but nothing pops up in google.

It’s either “Vacation Cruise” or the traditional hawaiian wedding song…
