Unless you're a teenager. Then it's the gateway drug to re-appreciating Jimmy Buffett after your parents tormented you with Jimmy as a child. Or at least that's what the girl-kid says.

That's funny...when my keet was little he liked JB and sang along quite a bit. No he's all eyerolls about it. I usually pick him and his friend up after school and I've noticed that the friend now sings along on many of the songs. LOL So I'm hoping the keet comes back around.

I might have made my kids listen to a Jimmy Buffett song or two.
I'm so familiar with those eye rolls. She still loves Love in the Library, though, but that's because her nose is always in a book.

"Nobody From Nowhere" is an instant skipper for me as well as Buffet Hotel (the song).

Two songs I really like are DIAMOND AS BIG AS THE RITZ and BALLAD OF SKIP WILEY( I've been listening to Barometer Soup alot),not sure how others feel bout them.
One song I wouldn't mind if Jimmy quit playing is ITS 5 'O CLOCK SOMEWHERE. Though its is my beer and bathroom break song, so if he did stop playing it I would just have to stock up on beer and hold it till halftime.

Hokey and Math Sucks on the downside, so many, but today it would be We Are The People.

It's kind of funny how some songs are skips when sometimes the same ones are really liked. I always looked at Math Sux as a cool song some dad wrote for his kids when they were complaining about how, well, math sux! Makes it a little better. Song appreciation is like art, it is very individual..I love "Nobody From Nowhere"...reminds me of my childhood.

I really Like Nobody From Nowhere but I like Will Kimbrough's version better. And I told him that the first time I saw him do it.

Maybe that should be another thread. I would place a bet that everyone has one or two of those songs in their head. As soon as the first note comes, they are off.

For me it's "Wheel Inside the Wheel." I have never met anyone who expressed anything more than apathy for the song, but I really like it.
Ever played them the original by Mary Gauthier? I like Buffett's version but there's simply no topping the original in this case.

I dislike: Altered Boy, Autour De Rocher, Everybody's on the Phone. At least right now they don't work for me.
I like: Take Another Road, If the Phone Doesn't Ring, Ballad of Spider John, L'Air De La Louisiane, Prince of Tides, That's What Living Is To Me.

I'll have to copy a post I made off another thread for this. The worst Jimmy song ever must and without argument be Don't Bug Me from the Arachnophobia soundtrack!?!?! I can't even defend that one. If you've forgotten, here's a link: http://youtu.be/V3J-MePY5e4
I'm not really keen on Hey Good Looking either...
Just my thoughts.
Unskippables and favorites for me are Coast of Marseilles, Jamaica Mistaica, Time to Reason, Survive, God Don't Own a Car & I love God's own Drunk live!
