Kokomo is on one of the Florida Keys, I and is at the Holiday Isle Resort. I believe it's close to Marathon Key. Stayed there and the video the Beach Boys made was made by a small, palm-thatched roof bar overlooking their small beach. During Spring Break it's party time for the college students(I'm 53). I'm pretty sure that's where they recorded their video, which appeared on MTV. Robert

Robert- The "Kokomo" at Holiday Isle in the Florida Keys is a tiny (about maybe 10 square yards) man made island set 10 feet off Holiday Isle's waterfront and connected by a little bridge. I am pretty sure they built it as a tourist gimmick AFTER the Beach Boy's song came out. Still, gotta' love Holiday Isle!

Larry; Yep, I remember that little island, right behind the rustic, two-story bar/nightclub, by the beach. It is a kinda non-descript tiny "island." I stayed further donw th road, and stopped in the Holiday Isle with my wife and daughter, and it was during spring break. Wow, what a hopping place it is!! Wine(beer), women and song. Robert

My hometown, Kokomo, Indiana is 50 miles due north of Indianapolis. It has a population that hovers around 45,000 people. Flat terrain, production plants (GM, Delco-Delphi, Daimler-Chrylser, a defunct steel mill), and strip malls.
It is true about the girls of Kokomo issue. One of the shoots (clothed) took place during one of my high school's basketball games in 1983.

I am looking at the Kokomo issue right now dated April, 1981. Also in Playboy is a photo shoot of Rita Jenrette (ex-wife of a corrupt, jailed politician of the era), an interview of Ed Asner and John Lennon's last words regarding the construction of scores of Beatles' songs, a useful source. Karen Woods is the girl Mr. Lytle mentions. She is pictured at a basketball game and also provides a picture of several very delicious curves. In fact, she hhas long, brown hair that reaches down to her beautiful fanny.
