no, not the high ticket prices. . . not the hundreds of posts of ticketmaster bashing, nor Jimmy forgetting about the "true phans". . .
Just the song! "Take it Back". What a wonderful, awesome song!

Not bad at all for such a rarity but I was hoping for some other outtakes, b-sides, and alternate takes on the box set but Buffett seems to be a bit of a quality control freak in that dept as we didn't even get the most famous officially unreleased track at all, Please Take Your Drunken Fifteen Year Old Girlfriend Home.

I remember when I first heard that song!
My wife's father thought I was kidding. . .

If I remember right Take It Back was written for America's sailing team. Kind of a fight song for their battle with the Aussies for the Cup. You are right though, it is a great upbeat song.

That it was!
"We ask ourselves when we get in a fix
What would Popeye do in a tight spot like this?
He'd race for his true love and easily win it
In an old spinach can with a mast stuck in it!"
Just ONE of so MANY fun lyrics in that song!!!

I am thinking you need to call Thursday and Friday "vision days"... and skin out for Dallas. You know.. I'll have the beads from Stars' along and you would be amazed at how they get a conversation started, even for a balding, bespectacled, bearded pudgy middle-sized white guy like me .

I used to have the single for "Take it back". On the "B" side, for some unknown reason was "Saxophones"
