I love them both but voted for PTM because of the fun references in it (like Ricky Ricardo from one of my favorite childhood shows :D )

Yep, it gives those of us "of a certain age" a little natural flashback to a simpler, more innocent time. :D

Pencil Thin, I always thought of Bob Roberts as a novelty song. It was nice the one time I saw him do it live but that was enough.

I love Bob Robert's, but I feel that I am in the minority on this one. Oh well. There goes one pick for the Elite Eight of Buffett songs.
