Most Underrated song!

If there ever was a song besides margaritaville that deserves to be a set list staple at every concert its Fruitcakes! and i'll tell you why.....
all you have to do is look at the music video for this to see its impact on us all. since this song no one has to think twice of what they will wear to concerts or how to act...also jimmy says all the time that he doesn't take this s**t to seriously and this epitomizes that statement. Its this attitude that will keep the parrothead fever alive for a long time.....
Do you agree with me?

I'm not sure I'd go that far. The Live By The Bay video came out over 5 years earlier and people were acting just as crazy then. To me, Fruitcakes was just Jimmy laughing about things he saw around him. It's the same with a lot of his other songs - We Are The People and Gypsies in the Palace come immediately to mind.

Bottom line, Jimmy gets as big a kick out of us as we do him. That's what makes it so much fun.

But do you ever wonder if Mac cracks a grin during the "License to Chill" singing, "Work, work, work. A big pile of it, and the boss is a jerk"?

Absolutely- been a "Jimmy phan" since the'70s- but it was Barometer Soup that made a believer and a true parrothead. And don't forget Lage Nom Ai and Blue Heaven Rendezvous!

In the album's liner notes he states " We loaded all our gear into the the Fish Camp and built a little working studio with a waterfront view...we peddled our bikes and mo-peds across town to Shrimp Boat Sound and in between the departures of the schooner Wolf and the occasional spring breakers we cooked up our Barometer Soup." - a true Buffett classic.

I think A-1-A is the best album and that's why I went with 2 but could have gone with all of it. I would love to hear all these one day at a concert. Hopefully he'll do something like this on the farewell tour!!

I agree with you there
I never paid any attention to this song until he did it in Tampa back in April. Now I love it.

And nobody ever talks about "Love in Decline" which is definitely one of my faves.
