Possibly the worst JB song ever...

No one mentioned Bob Roberts Society Band? I had it stuck in my head for what seemed like 3-4 years, maybe it was just a few hours. I was ready to run head first into a wall.

For the ones out there that do not like Creola, try this....

On a HOT...and I do mean HOT Summers day this year, take an afternoon off from work, fix yourself your favorite libation, throw on your swimsuit, put your folding chair (with beach towel) out in the sun and start soaking up rays.

After an hour or so, put on "Creola". It's the story of Jimmy's young lifestyle and you will get a fever for the "HOT" food and "HOT" lifestyle on the bayous of America. It's just a really sensitive, passionate song about the Cajun lifestyle. Just try it.

Well said O&B....ya got to be in the state of mind for that song.

And I also agree Floridays is one of my favorite albums!

Come on guys Creola, the Speedo Man loves this tune. My favorite part is the steel drum solo, I just love listening to that in my Speedo and pretending to play the drums on my big belly and watching all that blubber jiggle every where. CREOLA FOR ME.

Okay, after this quote, I may have to add you to the intermission section of the show from Hell!

Seeing that as I'm taking that intermission GRE....gives me the shivers!!!

I skip over Cheeseburger in Paradise all the time..... sick of it. It's when I go pee at Buffett concerts.

Same here. However it is one of my keets favorites. They constantly want to hear it.

this list is funny. Because the songs I hate, someone else loves. And the songs I love, someone else hates.

I'm amazed that Slow Boat was on there. Elvis, Math Sucks, are defeinately others that need to be- I am not a big fan of Jimmy Dreams, nor the Hokey Pokey, and few othes that I regularly skip on the cd's.

I like Madamoseille Volez Vous Danser, but some of the ones I dislike are:
Elvis Imitators
Domino College
Fool Button
I Used To Have Money One Time
Barracuda
Mental Floss
Treetop Flyer
Hokey Pokey
You Call It Joggin'
Spending Money
You'll Never Work In Dis Bid-ness Again (but I like the version on Feeding Frenzy).

"Don't Bug me" absolutely blows.

"Math sux" would have been better as an intrumental or maybe another song topic because musically it's pretty good.
I was playing it at work and had to turn it down because I was ashamed of it.

I think Atered Boy had potential but maybe it's Jimmy's tone of voice in that one, I don't know.
It would also make a kickass instrumental.

Personally I love "Livin' it up".
It sounds great cranked up and the message is great.

I'm suprised that Juicy Fruit didn't show up more on this list... a lot of my friends say THAT song sounds like a commercial for gum. BTW, I know JB did movie songs but did Juicy Fruit ever show up on a Wrigglies add back in the day?

I'm still surprised to this day that I actually caught it.

VERY cool. I actually have a pick that says "Coral Reefer Band" Not sure who was playing it. I found it on the ground after a concert in Atlanta. I also have one of those older style that Jimmy used to use that just says Jimmy Buffett that I found the same time. Now you can get them for a dime a dozen BUT he actually used this one.

Altered Boy and BRSB and Dreamsicle are not what you could call my favorites............

I know I'm gonna get a lot of abuse for this, but I'm not fond of a lot of the songs on both "Banana Wind" and "Barometer Soup". I rarely ever play those discs.

Why does it not surprise me that we agree on these, Garry?

That's funny!

I do think MMIM the song is quite cheesy but there's something that seems to draw me to the chorus:

Can you meet me in Margaritaville? Start out with the pleasure, end up with a thrill. Can we go down to the setting of the sun? Party together 'till the night is done........

You know, DVD players have this thing called a skip button!

You don't have to let one song ruin the whole DVD. The Knees of My Heart rehearsal to me is almost worth the price of the DVD in itself. Not to mention 5:00 Somewhere, an awesome live performance of Fins, and good performances of Cheesburger and Tiki Bar. If you don't want to hear MMIM, hit the skip button.
