"Keep on Rockin' in the Free World"
"Disco Duck"
"Loco" by David Lee Murphy (on the Country Charts now but talks about Tiki torches and trying to keep away from going insane, and has a Buffett theme to me).

How about Ten Rounds With Jose Quervo by Tracy Byrd? Sounds like it was written for (or in emulation of) Jimmy Buffett. And, come to think of it, the melody sounds remarkably similar to 5 O'Clock Somewhere.

Personally, I'd love to hear Jimmy do I Can't Explain by The Who:

Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling blue
The things you've said, well, maybe they're true
I'm gettin' funny dreams again and again
I know what it means, but...

I hear ya there... I get confused everytime I hear one of them (5 O'Clock or Ten Rounds) on the radio.

Since he has covered Dead songs before, why not Row Jimmy or Mississippi Half Step?

I'd like to hear him do "Stay...just a little bit longer"
or how about The Great Diviede's " Pour Me A Vacation"...I LOVE that song!!!!
It is just SOOOOOOoooooooooo Jimmy. I know he couldn't do it, but Stay would be right up his alley.

Did anybody mention Tracy Byrds "How'd I Wind Up In Jamaica"? on "The Truth About Men" album

First, how cool is it that he's covering a bit of "Purple Rain" at the concerts these days. That blew my mind.

Second, Roy Orbison's "Blue Bayou" would be excellent.

I'd like to hear him do Stuck In The Middle With You by Steelers Wheels. Now that would be cool.

now that ol' Jimmy's been hangin with the country crowd----I can almost BET that within the next couple years you'll hear him cover one of the following....

TWO PINA COLADAS -- Garth Brooks
TEN ROUNDS WITH JOSE CUERVO -- Tracy Byrd

ON THE COAST OF SOMEWHERE BEAUTIFUL -- Kenny Chesney
BLUE ROCKING CHAIR -- Kenny Chesney (very Buffettesque !)

or, likely NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, NO PROBLEM !!! -- (again) Chesney

"Baton Rouge" by Guy Clark would be cool!

"If I said you had a beautiful body (would you hold it against me)" by the Bellamy Bros. would be a good one to cover.

I dunno if anyone has mentioned "Voila An American Dream" written by either Rodney Crowell or Guy Clark.
I just downloaded both versions and this song is Buffett all the way.
Beautiful,
I'm definitely gonna have to get the chords to that one!

Might be ruining something thats already perfect but I would love to hear Jimmy do something by the Eagles...maybe a little witchy woman or Hotel California


BTW I really enjoy his remix of Mexico by James Taylor.

"Montego Bay" by Bobby Bloom

"The Rainbow Connection" by Kermit the Frog

I would love it if he did Rainbow Connection.....Thats a really GOOD one JB!

I very seriously doubt you will ever hear Buffett cover this tune.

There is a band that's not very well known here but is big in Ireland called the Saw Doctors.

They have a song that I'd love to see JB cover called, "I'll Be On My Way". It's the happiest song about death I think I've ever heard.

It actually sounds more like a Buffett song than a lot of Buffett songs.

After that, I'd like to see him cover Joe Ely's "She Never Spoke Spanish To Me" or maybe "Gallo Del Cielo".
