Uku[edit]

"His name "Uku" is a Hawaiian Pidgin word for head lice.[6]" Why is this noted, when it's more likely due to being half of ukulele. -Logan (talk) 02:04, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Carniolus: In order to stop the edit war, here's why I keep removing that statement: The source in no way states that the volcano is named "Uku" after the Hawaiian Pidgin word for "head lice". All it says is:

Because the word uku is commonly known as a Hawaiian Pidgin word for head lice, Kahele said “when the locals hear uku, they’re going to say, ‘Eh, Uku!’ I know, I’m hoping that after it comes out, that nobody starts calling me ‘uku.’ That would be kind of shame.”

This would mean that it is more likelier to be called "Uku" in combination with the other volcano's name, "Lele", into the name ukulele. -Einstein95 (talk) 19:44, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, you are right. I've missed/forgot that her name is Lele, so it seems that their names have been indeed chosen as part of the word "ukulele". I agree that in this context the Hawaiian meaning does not matter and it can be removed.--Carniolus (talk) 20:46, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You gotta read more carefully. 67.11.195.50 (talk) 05:03, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Public reaction[edit]

How about the public reaction ? Lots of reports of people being moved to tears. All sorts of people doing covers. etc.? 105.236.24.175 (talk) 11:24, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alleged inspiration to Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and his wife?[edit]

Some people are suggesting a possible inspiration for the short film: it is supposedly portraying the deceased Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and his wife. The biggest clue that points to that direction, in my opinion, is the great similarity between the Lava song and Somewhere over the rainbow (the song for which Israel is famous) as well as the physical similarity between the short film characters and the singer and his wife. However, I can't find sources for this claim, so it could easily be false. Does anyone have more information? --William Di Luigi (talk) 19:20, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I second this. The given source for the article speaks of the director James Murphy enjoying Kamakawiwo'ole's work and it reminding him of Hawai'i. The only wife mentioned is his not Kamakawiwo'ole's. It doesn't support the claim. I fear the claim is false. 50.34.96.22 (talk) 19:35, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The general idea appears to have been added to the article here by IP 65.31.66.123 in December 2015. It's unsourced, so I've cut it. I've also expanded the information that we do have on the film's inspiration. According to the interview, it's one part Murphy's honeymoon, with one part Murphy's fascination with volcanoes, with one part Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, with one part Murphy sitting at his sister's wedding where the ideas came together like a stew.
