Mine is from LV 10.25.08. The best line is "swimming naked in the Bellagio Fountain trying to get to me".

The single edit version. Less talking in the beginning, which makes the song that much better.

Love the "Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays" album version of it. Haven't heard a version that beats it yet, in my opinion.

I agree with this.
I have a particular, personally significant memory associated with this version of the song.

The next one I hear live? Lol, I know a lot has been made of Jimmy using a teleprompter for songs and I think this song in Indy was the first time I really noticed that he used it but in all fairness, he had changed the lyrics just for Indy which I thought was cool. It's nice that he thinks enough of a place he's going to put the effort into writing some fresh lyrics.

What's even more odd about it on T, TH & S is that it's the newest song on the album.

I love the TTS version of Fruitcakes, but my favorite version is from Cincy 2007. I had my Sirius radio cranked up, and i was listening to the Cincy show. My mother called me, and I told her that I was listening to a Jimmy Buffett show and couldn't talk. Fruitcakes came on, and I held the phone up to the speaker for her to hear it, and she busted out laughing. My mother did not mind being dissed for a Buffett show. That night was one of the last times I heard my mom really laugh before she became too sick.
