Looks amazing. I can never hear the word Java without this old Danny Kaye song playing in my brain:

Somewhere off the coast of Java

Fell a little piece of lava

That grew up to be the island known as Bali

Bali la Bali la Bali Bali Bali la

Every native girl looks sorta

Like the farmer's daughter oughter

And for dancing they are simply off their trolley

Trolley la trolley la trolley trolley trolley la

But they hadn't seen a new step

Since Methuselah did the two step

On their isolated island they were way off beat

From jive they where closeted

'Til a storm deposited

On their beach a jivin' jack from Lower Basin Street

He went up and got a look in

And he said hey hey what's cookin'

This here joint is jumpin' but with melancholy

Kolly la kolly la kolly kolly kolly la

So he took their native movements

Added in the groove improvements

Now they're really on the trolley down in Bali

They made him king of the whole darn thing
