Speaking of the Great Lyrics Compilation, I tried to go to it recently, and it seems to have disappeared! Does anyone know of a comparable site? I also misunderstood "Wal-Mart" in "Frank and Lola" and it sure would help figure out a few more mysteries if there was some place to see lyrics!

i thought "come monday" was "come on babe" until i was thirteen and looking at the back of a cd case, and couldn't figure out what song "come monday" was.
also thought that "they stopped at several raw bars" was "they stopped at several wal-marts."
and in "livingston saturday night", there's that line that goes "pickup's washed and you just got paid." i thought that was "chicken's washed and you just got paid". couldn't figure out why you'd wash a chicken, and if you did, why you'd sing about it. then i found the real words.

When I looked up the words to Fins, I then checked a dictionary to see what "remora" was !
Mis-heard lyrics on Pascagoula Run: when I first began listening to Buffett, someone taped Beaches, Bars, etc., but didn't include a list of titles or lyrics. I thought "kid, you're gonna see the mornin sun on the BATHROOM RUG" !!! for SIX MONTHS that's what I thought it was. It even made sense, he's been in a bar, he's passed out in the bathroom...Even now, two years later, I occasionally catch myself singing it wrong.

Forgive me if you've heard this confession before (what is this, Church of Buffett?) but every time I sing "Boat Drinks" when I get to the part following "newspapers mention cheap airfare" (ain't THAT a thing of the past) I would always sing "I've got a plot of sand somewhere" as though the singer somehow forgot about his beach house in St. Barth.

In Volcano, for the longest time i thought it was
"Hey Mr. Ugly!" instead of "Hey Mr. Utley!"
Funny how we all mis-understand the lyrics and they don't make sense 90% of the time.

Sometimes more than others,
we see who and what and where we are,
I'm just a one man band,
With my feet in the sand,
Tonight I just need my guitar

Conversation between me and my 15 Y.O. daughter:
Me: ...Jimmy Buffett's wife is named Jane.
Daughter: Jimmy Buffett has a wife?!? I thought he was gay.
Me: What?! Why would you think that Jimmy is gay?
Daughter: Because he sings that song "Come On Dave".
Me: I don't think I know that one.
Daughter: (singing lyrics) Come on Dave, It'll be alright. Come on Dave, I'll be holding you tight...
Me: (laughing hysterically!!!!!) You mean "Come Monday"? Ha! Ha! Ha!
