E Ipo
"E Ipo" is a 1982 song written by Prince Tui Teka and Ngoi Pēwhairangi in tribute to Teka's wife Missy. The song was a number-one single in New Zealand for two weeks.
The melody was based on the popular Indonesian love song "Mimpi Sedih" by :id:Aloysius Riyanto|Aloysius Riyanto that Teka had heard from New Zealand soldiers stationed in Singapore while he was performing overseas from 1980-1982.
The video for the song was taken from a TV special filmed at the Mandalay nightclub in Newmarket, Auckland. The song later made the Nature's Best 3 compilation, a collection of the top 100 New Zealand songs as voted by members of APRA.
