'Lyin' in the Sand' closed Hello Sailor's self-titled debut album in 1977, the song's languid South Seas vibe providing respite after 'Gutter Black' and 'Blue Lady'. Inspired by a spontaneous South Pacific parody from vocalist Graham Brazier one night, it was written by guitarist Harry Lyon after observing how Takapuna's smart set took their beach for granted. TVNZ filmed the band playing live in a Christchurch studio in 1978, just prior to departing for LA. Lyon sings, so Brazier is absent; drummer Ricky Ball's hula confirms the band’s tongue was in its chic.

Skinny trousers and hula moves? I'll be in my bunk.
