What? Are you kidding? Changing Channels is one of Buffett's best songs. I don't know why he doens't play it more in concerts. Death of An Unpopular Poet is a pretty good one too. I agree with you on the rest though.

Death of an Unpopular Poet?????? Come on - that's a good song! I haven't heard any Buffett songs that are not good - I like some more than others, but I can't say that any are bad.

Funny how all the posts actually LISTING a "Worst Song" are ALL anonymous, eh!
Actually I agree with Honey Do...
There are some songs I may like less than others, but my criteria of hitting skip while listening if I can't stand something, doesn't come into play with Jimmy at all. (Well... unless the 'keets are in the car, but THAT is for another reason!) :wink:

The only bad Buffett song is "Elvis Immitators", and it was a joke. It was supposed to s***.

How are Changing Channels and Death of an Unpopular Poet two of his worst? I agree with everyone else, there are no "bad" Buffett songs. Some aren't as good as others, but none of them are completely terrible.

I'm glad you spoke up!! I love "Changing Channels".

I even like "Elvis Imitators" in a funny way. Probably because you can tell it was a joke.

"Big Rig" however......I can say nothing to save it. Have to agree with Barracuda also.

Changing Channels is a great tune, as is Gravity Storm. Nobody has yet nominated Math Sux though.

Everyone always says much much this one sux, and though the vocals aren't that great, I like this one. Maybe it's that I'm still in high school, and math does s***.

Got to agree with the majority of the posts. If you think Changing Channels is a bad song you're an idiot. I would put that in the top three of Jim's songs. Death of an Unpopular Poet is incredible as is Big Rig. My vote would go to Elvis Imitators. As said, it was meant to be a joke and it definitely is.
