I don't think you have to worry about hearing that any time soon as he hasn't played it in quite a while as it is.

Whew! I never heard it in person, but did hear it on a recording of one of his Montesorri Benefit concerts. You'd have to be really drunk to think that's funny.....imho anyway

2. Brown Eyed Girl

I never understood the appeal of God's own Drunk. I have done some research on Lord Buckley though and he was hilarious, though dated.

I never get sick of Margaritaville, and I don't understand the negative stuff about Brown Eyed girl. Maybe I've been a fan of Jimmy so long that BEG seems almost like a new one for me.

Conversely, I can do without Get Drunk and Screw, I don't know why he does it every concert. And I personally think Take it Back is a weak song, but I know some people love it. Other than that, I don't particularly like bitching about what songs Jimmy does. I just enjoy listening to them.

Someone was saying earlier I just stated the obevious with saying that I didn't want to hear any of the grest. hits. If I had 3 that I wouldn't want him to play here they are.
Margaritaville
Cheeseburger In Paradise
Brown Eyed Girl

I think "God's Own Drunk" is sorta like John Prine's "Jesus-The Missing Years", it's best enjoyed when performed live in concert because it works best with audience reaction. There's a lot that's lost just listening to the studio version. Still, it's a song I revisit (both live and studio) only occasionally.

I like just about eveything Jimmy does. Given that, I think my three least favorites are:

Math Suks
Elvis Impersonators
My Barracuda

I would rather substitute WDWGDAS for another song, absolutely, but I don't really *dislike* it...

I always liked Fins as a song, before it became FINS!!!

The Natives are Restless
Gypsies in the Palace
This Hotel Room

(All 3 happened to be Tiki Time favorites

)

I could do without
1. Margaritaville
2. CIP
3. It's Five O'clock Somewhere
in concert because it seems that all of his new found fans only know these songs. I prefer to hear the songs he wasn't famous for. I must admit I still like the 3 but I won't admit it to anyone but y'all.

Miami_Max · Post by **Miami_Max** » January 26, 2005 9:39 pm

Three songs I could pass on is these...

Math Sucks

USS Zydecomobile

Cheeseburger

....cheeseburger wouldnt be bad if it wasnt so overplayed however.

I have said many times, my greatest wish would be for Jimmy to do a "Songs You Don't Know By Heart" Tour where he delved deep. It won't ever happen but it would be great. Long for the days of 6 or 7 standards and the "never know whats coming next" sets.

Come On In would be a pretty awesome "never knows"

I think this thread has just created the setlist for the next tour.......

I wouldn't want ANY song banned for life. However there are a few I could do without for a while. Especially................

Margaritaville - played by everyone, especially by the ones that don't have a clue who JB is. I heard this played so much in KW(yeah I know, what should I expect during MOTM), that I was sick of it. Everyone says, "Yeah I know who JB is, he does M'ville". Then I have to ask, Do you know any of his other songs beside Come Monday???
