Going to throw James Taylor some love and say Mexico. Yea, Jimmy's a little pitchy on it but it's a fun song.

Re: If you could keep one cover song.
Couldn't pick just one. No way.
Yellow Submarine wasn't my favorite but I think it was a nod to Peter's Beatles album, so I could live with it.
I no longer consider some of the older studio cuts like Banana Republics covers any more, although of course they are. I love Defying Gravity, Rhumba Man, Nothing But A Breeze, Everybody's Talking, Pacing the Cage, Uncle John's Band and a whole bunch of others.
I love Southern Cross and would really miss it if it were gone.
I also like Mac covers like Back Where I Come From and The City. They could play It's My Job at every show.
I'd like them to keep Southern Cross. Otherwise, with the others, put them in rotation and sing one per show.
Just please.... Never EVER do Trippin Billies again..... ever....

Bill Walton loved the way Jimmy covered Scarlet Begonia's at Bridge School Benefit concert in NO CAL-tigzoe wrote:I was just thinking about Scarlet Begonias earlier which is one of my favorite songs.
The 62-year-old singer-songwriter, in his long-overdue Bridge debut, accomplished that task in fine fashion as he and his seven-piece Coral Reefer Band rolled out tender versions of "A Pirate Looks at Forty" and "Come Monday," as well as the tropical anthems "Volcano" and "Margaritaville." They also played a cover of the Grateful Dead's "Scarlet Begonias," which the most-famous Deadhead in attendance, basketball great Bill Walton, dubbed as "excellent."
I like Scarlet B too. I've never seen or heard, "Another Saturday Night," in concert but saw the rehearsal on one of the Buffett videos. I thought he did that song well.

Re: If you could keep one cover song.
I didn't like Scarlet Begonias at first. It had to grow on me. But it did, and now it's one of my favorite covers.Tequila Revenge wrote:Bill Walton loved the way Jimmy covered Scarlet Begonia's at Bridge School Benefit concert in NO CAL-tigzoe wrote:I was just thinking about Scarlet Begonias earlier which is one of my favorite songs.

Re: If you could keep one cover song.
Scarlet Begonias for sure.
I love Southern Cross, but I'll always prefer the original.

Re: If you could keep one cover song.
Southern Cross without a doubt. I think JBs version is better than the original.
I would say Banana Republic if he played it more or made it a core song.

Ain't nothin' like them in the whole wide world.
So damn smart and cute,
And it's amazing what they pass off as a bathing suit.

Re: If you could keep one cover song.
I'd say God's Own Drunk, which I consider a cover. I've never heard it live and it's high on my wishlist.

Re: If you could keep one cover song.
Would kill to hear Treetop Fliers!
All the Ways I Want You would be a great song to incorporate into his perennial sets list.
However, out of everything he covers. Nothing beats hearing Another Saturday Night on his Saturday night shows.
So, Tuesdays and Thursdays, cover All the Ways I Want You and on Saturdays, cover Another Saturday Night.
I would also kill to never hear Brown Eyed Girl at another concert. Holy smokes, that is my favorite song to take a bathroom break!

Jimmy doesn't seem Brown Eyed Girl as a cover. It def. is but he recorded it on OPH album.
