It's a real place on the map!!! Kokomo is a nice sized city in the heart of Indiana! The Beach Boys didn't exactly lie, just stretched the truth a little bit!!!
Yes, there actually was an island called "Kokomo" just like in the Beach Boys song. Today it's called "Sandals Cay" and is owned by Sandal's Resort. It sits in Montego Bay, Jamaica and holds only a few amenities and primarily caters to couples. It's this very tiny (2 and 1/2 acres) island that they are referring to in their song of the same name.
I heard the Beach Boys made up the name "Kokomo" for the song because they liked the way it sounded in the song.
No, it's a real island off the coast of Jamaica. It just got renamed by it's owners; a resort.
It seems to be some kind of place in songs where young couples go for romance in a car, a sort of lovers' lane.
Chuck Berry, "No Particular Place To Go": So we parked way out on the kokomo.
Bruce Springsteen, "Asbury Park 4th of July (Sandy)": I saw her parked with lover boy out on the kokomo.
This is a sexual act of disrespect where a male bores a hole in a coconut and ejaculates inside. He then removes his penis and covers the hole with his hand. Finally, he shakes it vigorously before pouring its contents on his partner's face.
To get "Kokomoed" is defined by the act of being run over while lawfully crossing a two way street while bicycling on a Multi Use Path (MUP). More specifically, the action takes place while most drivers are yielding to the cyclist and one (or many) fail to stop in time, trying to squeeze by the right side of the stopped vehicles.
Use: "I got Kokomoed while crossing Yucca Street as I tried to re-enter the MUP in Santa Fe"
