Jimmy on SNL

I was playing the new "SNL DVD Trivial Pursuit" game and one of my questions was: "What musical guest, nursing a broken leg, altered a song lyric to: 'This cast is a bore, it keeps dragging the floor, and I feel like I'm pulling a trailer.' I guessed Buffett and it was right! Of course they spelled Buffett as Buffet, but you get the point. My question is does anyone have a copy of this song or the performance from SNL? Any and all help will be much appreciated. Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yeah, because so many of the musical acts they have on the show now are going to be selling out venues in 30 years...

Well if Jimmy would start lip-syncing like certain other female singers of late, then maybe he could be back on

Why do so many people make that friggin mistake? Is it that hard to spell the man's name?
Buffet isn't even Buffett, it's "Buff-ay", as in the section of a resturant or a cafe where you serve yourself.

Well, with all the time he is spending with the country bumpkins, he should have that "hoe-down" dancestep down pat..

I could be wrong but I think one of the tunes he did was SOASOAS.

Thanks Reef!
I'll bet Dreyfuss was promoting his movies "Close Encounters..."
or "Goodbye Girl"
("do...not...like...the...panties...hanging...on...the rail")

That's only because Marsha Mason never wore anything exotic, just the standard white cotton "granny-style"
