"Tiny Bubbles" is a song written by Leon Pober and performed by Don Ho. It comes from the album of the same name. The single peaked at #57 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #14 on the Easy Listening charts in March 1967. By 1968, "Tiny Bubbles" was covered about 34 times. It was considered to be Ho's signature song.

Production

The song was requested by producer Sonny Burke after Ho couldn't successfully perform the song "Born Free". "Tiny Bubbles" was originally written for Lawrence Welk, since he tended to perform "champagne music". Welk turned it down, although he later performed the song several times on his television show after it became a hit.

Legacy

"Tiny Bubbles" was considered to be Ho's signature song. During one performance, after nearly thousands, Ho reportedly quipped "God, I hate that song".
