The Pina Colada Song - The Long Journey Home

A serving of Rum, Coconut & Pineapple Juice

By Scott Christenson🌴Published 2 years ago 1 min read

From the era of 'story' songs in the 1960s & 70s: a full novella with a 3-act structure, classic plot of The Long Journey Home, and one of the best twists ever sung by a man wearing a fuzzy sweater.

Repopularized by The Guardians of the Galaxy; a real escape.
