I couldn't believe it. I was in Boston Market at lunch yesterday. On their background music system I thought I heard a familiar voice. They were actually playing some Buffett - it was Jimmy's version of Pacing the Cage! And then not 10 minutes later I heard Buffett again - this time The Wino and I Know!

I was shocked, not only to hear Bufffett, but it wasn't Margaritaville (I don't suppose they'd play CIP in Boston Market )

WOW! That's incredible.

You're right. Usually it is Margaritaville...

Actually where I work they play Buffett non-stop and my co-workers get upset because I know every song and they mock me for it...

I was in the Wrentham Outlet Mall the other day, and I heard "Don't Chu-Know" playing on their PA! Surprised the heck out of me!

Yeah we don't get much JB around the north...

UNFORTUNATELY...

I seem to hear JB quite a bit when I go out to eat. I heard Jolly Mon Sing just last night.

I was just thinking the same thing!

I hear Mexico in Lowe's sometimes

Monday night I heard Mexico in Wendy's and a few days before I heard Take Another Road in Nordstroms!

I usually have to settle for "Cheeseburger", "Margaritaville", or "Come Monday". But I get the Dead's version of "Uncle Tom's Band", Van Morrison's version of "Brown Eyed Girl", Neil Young "Southern Cross", and of course versions of "Another Saturday Night", "Mexico", and others. I treat them as tolerable substitutes.

I was at Central Market a couple of weekends ago when Lone Palm came on over the speaker system. They proceeded to play the rest of the Fruitcakes album.

Just out of principal, I stayed in the store until the album finished.

the only time i hear buffett on the radio is on some light rock station and it's margaritaville, go figure, they need to start playing some some old stuff that not many people know!

How can parrotheads eat chicken?? The bird of KW???

I thought we were supposed to eat oysters, conch and cheeseburgers.

Man I need to change my diet then...

Where do you work at and are they hiring?

At Ernest's in Shreveport. There was this guy playing the piano and singing in the bar. He asked me for a request and I said Jimmy Buffett. He played Margaritaville and everyone in the bar got up and danced.

That night I ate Shreve Snapper and steak - no chicken . . .

I would consider that a fringe benefit!

It's very rare to hear Jimmy on the air around here......and when I do it's of course typically M'ville, Cheeseburger or Come Monday. Once in a blue moon I'll hear Pirate Looks at Forty. I imagine they probably also still play 5 'oclock Somewhere too. Mind you though I don't really listen to the radio all that often.

p.s. I actually did have bbq'd chicken tonight.........

Where I work, I play Buffett non-stop. My co-workers don't mock me, they tell me to turn it down. Fridays seam to be the worst. Don't know why?

Just heard Volcano in Wal-Mart this morning.

The place I hear Buffett most often is our local Chili's restaurant. I've heard several different songs, and almost every time I'm there, I catch at least one tune.

Does anyone know how they do the music in these retail-type places? Is it like the old-style piped-in "elevator music", satellite radio, DMX, or something like that?

Strangely enough, there used to be a Taco bell near my old job that also had something similar. They always had some channel on that had the best selection of alternative music I've ever heard...really non-mainstream stuff. It was pretty funny considering that 99% of that store's customers were elderly or complete rednecks!

Last night I ate at the Rainforest Cafe in Overland Park, Kansas. We were waiting to get in when I hear a familiar tune, they were playing Don't Chu Know! Didn't expect to hear that one
