Aunu'u

Aunu'u is a small volcanic island off the southeastern shore of Tutuila in American Samoa. It has a land area of 374.83 acres (0.59 sq mi; 1.52 km2) and a 2000 census population of 476 persons. Politically it is a part of the Eastern District, one of the primary divisions of American Samoa.

Faimulivai Marsh is a freshwater marsh in Aunu'u Crater and the largest such wetland in American Samoa. It was formed from drainage of the low-lying crater. It is part of a protected National Natural Landmark on Aunu'u which was designated in 1972. The Pacific black duck was seen in the marsh in 1976, but it may now be extinct in the region; another significant local bird is the purple swamphen. This marsh is the only place in American Samoa that has Chinese water chestnut.

    Hey There Fancy Pants

    by: Ween

    Hey, there fancy pants
    Play the songs that make us dance
    Play the tunes that make the ladies swoon
    A song for all the lonely hearts
    Shattered dreams and broken parts
    Feels like sunny days are coming soon
    Hey Mr. Buttercup
    Spin the wheel and try your luck
    The spotlight's shining bright tonight on you
    Bring along your lady friend
    Do a dance from way back when
    Tonight's the night when all your dreams come true
    Hey there sour grapes
    Down in the dumps, long in the face
    Drinkin' down your dinner, all alone
    Feelin' bad, feelin' blue
    Tonight the rainbow ends with you
    So sit on down and make yourself at home, so
    Hey there fancy pants
    Play the songs that make us dance
    Play the tunes that make the ladies swoon
    A song for all the lonely hearts
    Shattered dreams and broken parts
    Feels like sunny days are coming soon
    Fancy pants
    Fancy pants
    Fancy pants
