It's a throw- away humid cloudy day today in the metro Jones Beach area. Didn't make sense to go to the beach so Mrs Goodman and I went off to do some shopping. I'm like on auto-pilot navigating thru stores until we get to Kohl's. We're looking for some rug runner (not rum runner). Suddenly I hear the faint strains of the opening to Mexico on the store's PA system. I'm thinkin gotta be the JT version but I'm wrong. Sure enough it's the JB cover (IMHO beter than the original). I'm dancin and swaying and singing surrounded by carpets. Just another day in Paradise, errr- Mexico.
Likely as close to a JB@JB concert as I'll see this year.

Agreed. I love the faster style that JB put on that song.
I also loved the Southern Cross from JB better than the original.

by which particular harbor?
Must be a national. I've heard that at Kohl's too. It does make shopping that much more enjoyable!
Maybe not to the other customers around me having to hear me torture the song by singing (or what I call singing) along with JB...

Only Time Will Tell came on at Barnes & Noble yesterday. Should've seen the looks on some of the peoples' faces when I started dancing in the aisles...

They play JB's version of Mexico at my grocery store. They also play it at my bookstore, but that's because I pick the music.

The Pittsburgh Steelers use Volcano while the referee is reviewing a play on the sidelines. Noticed it last year in the playoffs and LMAO.

The G.I. Joe's (Oregon sporting goods store) near our house plays Buffett all the time. You can get up to 3 songs in less than 1 hour in there. And a pretty good variety too.

I hear "Mexico" all the time when I shop at "Stop & Shop" I always sing along! Makes grocery shopping worth the effort.

Last year on the morning of the ATL concert I heard CILCIA in Wal-Mart... came on right as I walked up to the limes in produce.... I found it to be a sign...
