I still owe you one - check your PM...
It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening
Truly was our night to win
But the authorities insist on my leaving
Take care my American friend

Yes, but just for that movie, and you never even hear the whole song in the film, either.
Oh and JFYI, the entire tune is available in The Vault at CoB,O.

This is a song I've been waiting for Radio Margaritaville to start playing again since they moved to Sirius. One of the things they promised before they launched on Sirius was that the Buffett Buffet would continue to feature rare and unreleased cuts and so far the only thing that they've played that would qualify as unreleased is Jake doing the Star Spangled Banner. I hope they start adding cuts like Purple People Eater, Drunken 15-Year Old Girlfriend, and live cuts like South American soon.

Speaking of original version.... who did that?
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.
