RIP Jimmy Buffett

son of son of a sailor was always a favorite of mine. :(

 

Hes well known for a handful of songs, but his deep tracks are really good.

 

All the ones already mentioned but I also ride for Pencil Thin Mustache when I want a fun little tune.

 

Desdemonda Building a Rocket Ship is another underrated song

 

Kick It In Second Wind a very underrated song by him. Fun song.

Always really enjoyed Boat Drinks as well

 

Gonna have some boat drinks today for sure.

 

I’ve always loved He Went to Paris beyond the ones mentioned. Deeper cuts for me are Gypsies in the Palace and Livingston Saturday Night.

 

Always really appreciated how right to the point Why Don't We Get Drunk (and Screw) was

 

Pascagoula Run is fantastic

 

Knees of my heart
Semi True Story
Havana Day Dreamkng
Bama Breeze
Great Filling Station Hold Up

 

Migration is a good one

 

One Particular Harbor for me, but sometimes I also just feel the drunken need to belt out Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw?

 

Top 5 in no order:

Noodlin' In My Canoe Again
Take Me Away to Vista Bay (The Drinking Song)
I Felt Her Hard (Seltzer)
The Poor Poughkeepsie Pirate
A Cavalcade of Whimsy (The Drinking Song)

 

remarkable to have an iconic song with 4 lines to it.

 

Always was funny watching boomers get mad about rap or whatever and have that song blaring while they do it.

 

We do a Margaritaville sing-along between the 3rd and 4th quarter on the jumbotron every home game. Gonna hit different tonight. RIP to a real one.

 

Come Monday
Son of a son of a Sailor
Margaritaville
Why don’t we get drunk
Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes

 

Pirate Looks at 40 (also love the Jack Johnson cover)

When I lived in West TN and was in my mid-20s, a local winery would host a Jimmy Buffett night and give out free grilled cheeseburgers all night while a cover band played and took requests. It was so fun to eat about 7 cheeseburgers, get hammered, and enjoy the vibes.

 

I always liked his cover of Mexico by James Taylor.

 

His covers are top notch

 

Always enjoyed Barometer Soup as well.

 

He also always covered Southern Cross great.

 

This sucks, I wasn't a huge fan but obviously he was so popular in the south. I was talking to someone yesterday at this deli/bar place here in Portland because Margaritaville came on and she didn't know about all the insane amount of restaurants and hotels he owned. It's really hard to go to the beach in the Gulf without immediately thinking of his music.

 

Me listening to the wino and I know later

 

My dads side of the family is a Navy family. Him and all 4 brothers all served, grandfather was Navy, etc. A pirate looks at 40 and son of a son of a sailor are my favorites by far.

 

Saw my first boobs at a buffet concert when I was about 10. Thanks Jimmy.

 

Thought this was cool

When the Coast is Clear
Floridays
West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown
Lone Palm
Captain and the Kid
Biloxi
Tonight I Just Need My Guitar

Those are just a few off the top of my head.

 

Lotta weird existential stuff that hits different as you get older as well.

 

Pascagoula Run
Banana Republics
One Particular Harbor
Tin Cup Chalice (my favorite)
A Pirate Looks at 40
Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season
School Boy Heart
Fins
Boat Drinks
Coast of Carolina
Last Mango In Paris

So many great tunes.

 

Obviously everyone is posting his lesser known songs that are also amazing, but Margaritaville is an absolute mega hit for a reason and I’ll never not love it.

 

Woo boy to be at a bartop with those two.

 

Cheeseburger in Paradise never doesn't make me want a big greasy hamburger

 

Half mast pirate flags on campus tailgating to day.

 

My old roommate's mom hooked up with him once so I made sure to remind them of that today

 

Saving this for later

 

What’s the minimum age, asking for myself

 

Give Jimmy Buffett a state funeral, Sleepy Joe!

 

All you guys with a daughter tune this in and don't cry
