It's summer, the heat is affecting everyone's sanity.
Thus, this week's burning question is one matter that definitely needs settling .... who has the best vocal version of the Hawaii Five-O theme tune?
Sammy Davis Jr's 'You Can Count On Me'
Don Ho's 'You Can Come With Me'

There's no contest really. One's great, one's limp and lifeless. Sammy all the way.  |

I’m voting Sammy too. I preferred his version.

Hard to decide  Sammy was doing some good contemporary music late-60s - early-70s  . It sounds prime-time TV. Don's version sounds like its from a David Lynch movie. |

Much better left as an instrumental imo, one of the all time great TV theme tunes.
So what came first? The instrumental for the show that Sammy and Don put lyrics to, or was this a track that Hawaii-five-0 knicked for a theme tune?
