They made a video that would appeal to rednecks and (the poorly assumed) fans of Pirates of the Caribbean...because Buffett fans all love PotC.

We do?

Sorry, that should have read:

I've never seen any of them. Johnny Depp, even with all the eye makeup, just doesn't do it for me.

Probably not Orlando Bloom either

There really aren't many scantily clad women in the movies, either.

Johnny Depp in general hasn't ever done much for me. Johnny Depp as a pirate I'm all about.

Is it just me or did it look like they got the guy who did the special effects from the Harry Hamlin version of Clash of the Titans to do this video's effects?

A video with Zac and Jimmy on a beautilf beach - gee isnt' that what the song is really about?
Too bad the video is so very very bad.
So I'm going to listen to the song, close my eyes, and see a very good looking Jimmy be in my "own paradise"

A good song, a beautiful beach and Jimmy Buffett.......I've found the key to paradise!!

My dread is over, it is a one and done for me. As great as Zac really is, his handlers do not get the fact that when you have a song about the Ocean, Happiness, Joy, Surf, Sun, Breeze, and Jimmy Buffett, the only way you can screw that up, is to not show it. The only way! Sadly I doubt Zac gets the Ocean attraction and the love people have for it, mental good times need to be stimulated, not crushed.

Thanks for the warning. I'm not going to watch it and ruin a great song.

Course, if ZBB *did* do a nice beachy video he'd probably get accused of copying JB and/or Kenny Chesney. If this is an effort to to avoid being called a wanna-be, it's falling flat....

as Larry would say..............
It sucks

The producers need to lay off the shrooms... sweeping beach scenes would have been great.

Fixed it for ya. God, that was awful. What a shame. I wonder if ZB cringed when he saw it. I wonder if JB told him about some of the awful ones his label made him do.

The video certainly won't help with record sales!
