Starting today until the end of July, singers, crooners, and American Idol-wannabes can sing along to Jake Shimabukuro’s original creation, Slow Down, and submit their renditions. One winner will receive Apple’s latest iPad, and a fan favorite, as voted by you the people, will win $200 in gas.

For you alpha types, be one of the first five to submit your entry and get a $25 gas card just like that. For all other entrants, you’ll get a copy of Jake’s latest, Peace Love Ukulele.

To enter and to read the official rules, jam on over to http://www.myfarmershawaii.com/karaoke.

Are you ready? Warm up them pipes and sample your challenge.

Can you beat this sample? This ain’t me, I swear.

Good luck!

I got my promotional Supabowzooka Shirt from the Farmers Hawaii and Yelp partnership. How about you?

Much thanks to Farmers Hawaii and their social media crew!

Oh, now what’s this? Farmers Hawaii is teaming up with Yelp for a social media giveaway featuring the Supabowzooka. It’s real simple to win.

In real life, head on over to the Farmers Hawaii HQ at Six Waterfront Plaza then fire up Yelp on your mobile device (um well, yeah, you need one of these to enter and win, sorry!). With the Yelp app, check in to Farmers Insurance Hawaii. Go up to the 3rd floor of Tower 6 and show your Yelp checkin offer to the receptionist and claim your Supbowzooka shirt. So simple right?

Just be sure to go during working hours, 9am to 4pm, Monday through Friday. For more details, read the disclaimer at:

While you’re at Farmers Hawaii, you might as well talk to their peeps about insurance and see what they can do for you. Of course, leaving a Yelp review is optional but hey, gotta keep the karma good!

Just because they asked nicely, I’ll comply… sorta. You see, before there was Farmers Insurance Hawaii, the organization was known as AIG Hawaii. I blogged about both names in the past, but since the AIG Hawaii online name is being phased out, Farmers has a renewed focus on branding their current name. As such, they asked me to update my historical posts linking to aighawaii.com.

But instead of changing these historical posts from 2008 and 2009, I merely appended an update stating that AIG Hawaii changed to Farmers Insurance Hawaii in January 2010. Somehow, I just couldn’t alter the historical context of these posts since at the time, they were accurate. It’s like changing all my posts referencing Liberty House to now say Macy’s.

Anyways, history has at least been updated.

So if you can do this…

you might be able to jam with Jake.

What’s so special about this TV spot? It’s the little Easter egg cameos by the staff, family, and even cars of Farmers Hawaii employees. That’s keeping it real!

Before kickoff, how about remembering this Farmers Hawaii blast from the past? It’s Mars versus Venus. Look at them crazed UH football fans!

What was Farmers Hawaii commercials like before Jake Shimabukuro? The company’s president, Michele Saito, took us through a trip through history, reminding us of ohana.

And be sure to catch the behind the scenes creation of Clap.

I guess props goes to Farmers Hawaii’s advertising team in charge of getting their new spokesman out there! Clap, clap!

Okay, really he’s giving credit to his sound guys who I happened to be right next to.

Could it be the music scene? Look at what I ran across.

Who knew? Kanye and Farmers? Farmers and Kanye? Sure, why not? I can’t wait for the Kanye/Farmers collaboration collectible!
