Although few people know, the place referred to as “Kokomo” in the song is fictional!
After the success of the song, two sea resorts took over the name 🙂 One is Grassy Key, Florida and the other – Sandals Cay, Jamaica, as the song also mentions many places around the Caribbean, including Jamaica, Aruba, Bermuda, Bahamas, Martinique or Port-au-Prince (Haiti).
And now, listen 🙂
