If this is the " post horn " Coral Reefer Band , sounds good to me. As much as I like(d) the saxophones, the guitar and steel drums on the new Floridays works for me!

Ditto, but then steel drums always knock me out. I really like it.

I don't dislike this version, but I think the original is better.

This one really sounds much more kid friendly.

Right there with you... this is "okay", but the original is very near and dear to my heart... like I said, this is "okay".

Who is playing the harmonica? And is he going on tour with the band?
Guess we will find out pretty soon.

Absolutely love it!!! Maybe it's just because it's the first new Buffett I've heard since LTC. I think it's a really nice reworking of a great song.

I think it would make a great opener for this years tour. There were things left out in the new version, so I think I still like the original better. I think its funny when Jimmy remakes a song in a reggae version. Not quite Bob Marley, but Jimmy reggae works for me.
