Howdy folks!
I hoping to impose upon the collective kindness and knowledge of the members here for some advice. Our local swimming pool hosts an annual Luau and it's about that time again. The last few years, they've had a great cultural program hosted by this group:

Good dancing, music, etc.....
With my new found appreciation for the 'ukulele, I'd love to be able to play a few Hawaiian songs this year. Just picked up a couple of Dolphins for my kids and they're excited about learning some tunes to help take part at the party.
Any suggestions on tunes? I've searched around online but I'm having a hard time narrowing it down.... just looking for 6-10 quintessentially Luau-friendly tunes. Forgive my cultural ignorance, but my exposure to all things Polynesian is pretty limited here in Georgia. Although I just started with the 'uke, I've been playing guitar for years, so difficulty isn't really an issue - just trying to put together a good, traditional set list, work in some simpler arrangements for the kids to learn.....
Thanks in advance for help!
