Margaritaville

As worn out as it is..... I cannot ignore its concept..... So therefore when I hear it....I think back to that place in my head where I store a very pleasant state of mind!

So those rumours of you leading the chorus up in "The Garden of Eden" weren't true?

I smile ear to ear whenever I'm somewhere and this song comes on. It may not be the first I choose to listen to in the car but considering how little radio play JB gets, its always nice to hear it.

I never get sick of this song. Every time I hear it I flash back to the summer of '77, no matter where I am or what I"M doing.

As many times as I've heard Margaritaville, I still look forward to hearing it. Except for the salt, salt, salt *****. I hate that.

Hell, you don't need to be in Key West to have that happen, Buffett imitators are everywhere these days it seems, particularly here along the Carolina coast. Some do a better job than others but very few come close to making it listenable.

I posted that in another song thread. There ARE some advantages to being on the lawn, aren't there?

Basically a given so I just enjoy it.

I like it. Since you don't hear much of Jimmy on the radio in the car, its always fun for me to hear it playing.

I enjoy it, definately appreciate what it helped to create, but I wouldn't be heartbroken if I didn't hear it at a show

Without Being able to do Margaritaville..

Given the amount of times "Margaritaville" has been played on the radio I'd still say it hasn't reached the same level of overexposure of those other "classic rock" warhorses "Stairway To Heaven" and "Freebird". In that sense, even though I may not always listen to it every time, I still get a kick out of hearing it on the radio. It seems in the years since it's initial success, the other SYKBH standards don't recieve as much airplay (aside from maybe "Come Monday" and "Cheeseburger") but "Margaritaville" remains.

I really like it with the lost verse. Definitely pulls it up a notch or two.

The lost verse without the salt, salt, salt crap. That would be the epic version.
