I suggest "Thunder Island" by Jay Ferguson. It has a Buffett regae beat to it, and it talks about making love on Thunder Island, in place of BEG "making love in the green grass". Jimmy would rather take the beach anytime.

ANYTHING! I am so tired of this "concert staple."
The best thing about the Tiki Time Tour was that it was the 1st time in years hat it wasn't played at every show. I only heard it at 1 of the 2 shows I was at.

I'd prefer one of his OWN song.
But if it was a cover song, how about the Beach Boys.

I always thought that "come a little bit closer" was a close cousin to "Cuban crime of Passion" , a natural for JB to do.

I imagine Hell will freeze before he ever does anything from John Denver. Or Rupert Holmes.

How about "The Downeaster Alexa" by Billy Joel. The song has that fishing captain with the blues feel to it.

"Late in the Evening" ~ Paul Simon.....I could definitely see Buffett and the Coral Reefers rocking out to this song.

Always a highlight when Mr. Myers plays this tune. I think I'd go nuts if I heard Buffett play it.
You should see our sick dance move to the horn solos.

Jimmy has done it before, and does an awesome job covering the Stones
