I just love it when you say “never heard of him, never heard this song before in my life” and it turns out to be one of the most iconic songs and artists in ‘merica. It just blesses my southern heart. 😆
Jimmy sang songs that soothe my soul. You need to listen to more. “Son of a Son of a Sailor”, “A Pirate Looks At 40”, “One Particular Harbor”, “Changes in Latitudes Changes in Attitudes”, “Cheeseburger in Paradise”, or “Fins” are all classics. I love his lesser known gems like “The Great Filling Station Holdup” or “Peanut Butter Conspiracy” too. If you want the best way to experience his music find live concerts. They were like a beach party and were so much fun. I saw him live one time and it was only a couple of years before he passed away. It’s one of my favorite memories of all time and I’ll never forget it.
Jimmy Buffett is a singer-songwriter, musician & actor. His songs have such a laid back island feel to them. I had a couple of his albums. He had a lot of hits especially in the 70's-80's such as “Son Of Son Of A Sailor”, “Fins”, “He Went To Paris”, “Cheeseburger In Paradise”, “A Pirate Looks At Forty”, “One Particular Harbor”, "Come Monday", “Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes”, “Volcano”, “Boat Drinks”, “Pencil Thin Mustache” etc.
Who can ever forget Jimmy's incredible performance in the movie Jurassic World as Margarita 🍹 Man. It's a crime that he wasn't given an Oscar for that role.
When he wrote it, Margaritaville was more a metaphor for any of the Florida beach communities. Now he has a chain of restaurants bearing the same name. While it's true much of his commercial success was in the 70s and 80s, don't overlook the very solid album "Fruitcakes" from the 90s - "Six String Music" and his cover of "Uncle John's Band" are outstanding.
Oh My !! Wanting to check out more Buffett... The Aussie is on the way to becoming a Parrot-Head !!!!! Welcome Brother to the Multitude! Jimmy Buffet is one of the Best Singer-Songwriters ever in America. Big words I know.... But after you listen to "A Pirate Looks at Forty", "Come Monday" "Son of a Sailor", you will understand. Welcome to the rabbit hole !
If you go into a bar in the States with a guitar performer, you can bet you will hear this song and American Pie before u leave *ohh and "Friends In Low Places haha)
Yesss! Thank you for doing this! This song is lengendary, just as popular today as it was in '77! Another fun song by Jimmy is a collaboration with Alan Jackson called "It's Five O'clock Somewhere"!
"was that a real place?" geographically, no - its a metaphor for his drinking, BUT, after this song hit it big, he made it his brand and there are tropical themed restaurants and a casino named Margaritaville in various parts of the US.. he owns it all. If something has "Margaritville" on it, he owns it. He's the king and original creator of the "Island music" genre. RIP Jimmy (Sept. 1, 2023)
Saw JB and the Coral Reefer Band probably 15-16 times over the years. Absolute great songs and great atmosphere to see live. The world will sadly miss this nautical troubadour.
Jolly Mon sings is a great song,....a story song. Been around since the '60's.....like you found voiceplay, now you have 'found' Jimmy Buffet.......enjoy the ride.
"Blew out my flip-flop = pure poetry to me! LOL Nut, true .... Actually, the whole thing is poetry. Saw him sing it in New Orleans, riverside. Such fun!
Margaritaville is now a restaurant/bar chain he owns throughout the US and Caribbean. Some are part of hotels in NYC and Vegas, and in some airports. Others are in on islands It's all about a tropical lifestyle where the drinks are cold and the food is hot. When I was living in northern New York State at college in the 1990s, my friend got me into Jimmy's music. One Winter day, right before Christmas with the Winter temperatures well below zero and many feet of fresh snow outside, my friend set up a plastic child pool in his dorm room. He sat in the water drinking alcohol all day dreaming about being on some island somewhere. He had Jimmy's greatest hits blaring while enjoying life. Jimmy's fans are called Parrotheads and they travel around following his tours in buses and trucks like the Deadheads used to do when the Grateful Dead was on tour. Another poster listed some of his greatest hits. And you have to listen to the song Jamaica Mistaica. The song is about the time Jimmy was flying his seaplane to Jamaica with the singer Bono of the band U2 and their families. Well, the Jamaican police got a tip that a drug kingpin was about to land in Jamaican waters. The police thought Jimmy's plane was the drug kingpin, and the police opened fire as soon as the plane touched the water. No one on the plane was hit by bullets, but the plane was badly damaged. The plane is now at one of the Margaritaville restaurants in Orlando, Florida, USA. Jamaica Mistaica talks about the incident.
Yes it is a real bar he has them in many places my brother met him when he was in key West jimmy was sitting out side the bar playing his guitar and singing
1st off Lyle his fans are called Parrotheads. And he lived in the Florida Keys for a number of years, and the laid-back lifestyle of the Keys is just amazing. It's why I love it here in South Fla...Key Largo is 50 miles south of my front door. This influenced Jimmy's music greatly. One of his last songs to chart was "Fruitcakes" it's done to a keys/Caribbean reggae beat...it's wild !! Check that and Come Monday out...react to it on a Monday...you'll love it
Great reaction. I lived in key West for 10 years and you can't walk down Dual Street without hearing Buffett in one of the bars. There's an annual parrot head convention called meeting of the minds right after fantasy fest, and Jimmy shows up every 3 or 4 years and performs at the free concert I've seen him several times.
Not everyone knows what a ''pop top'' is. It's the pull tab from the old beer cans that many people would just throw on ground because that's what people did back in the day. Of course, the edge of the tab was sharp so that's why it ''cut my heel had to cruise on back home.''
His album “Songs You Know by Heart” was always on in my car back in college. He is the epitome of laid back Island life. Always a good vibe and a smile when I hear one of his songs. Enjoy!
Have you learned about the “parrot heads” yet? They are care-free followers of Jimmy Buffet! He had quite the following. Check out Come Monday. It’s a beautiful song about his wife (at the time she was his girlfriend). ❤
margaritaville is a state of mind when you use booze to make yourself deal with your life and the things you have done to put you in this place in your life and as he drinks more he becomes more honest with himself that is he was to blame for his troubles
This song title is the most profitable song title ever. With its musical success, it merchandising success (Still successful today) to a very popular chain of restaurants with the same name that brings in between 1.5 and 2 billion dollars per year and still going. Jimmy Buffet is believed to be the 13 wealthiest celebrity with a net worth of 550 million dollars. He is an American Icon, loved by millions world wide.
Become a Parrot Head with a side order of Home Fries, (Home Free )! HIS concerts are a blast, especially in Miami and the Florida Keys. He has restaurants, resorts, hotels that are geared to the lay back life style. Hundreds of records- C.D.'s., and thanks for all the Home Free reactions. Love your reaction video's best! A fan from Florida.
Patrol Nation: enjoyed your reaction, I quess Jimmy Buffett was a little before 'your time'. Apparently Jimmy Buffett was a very astute business man, he parlayed his earnings from Margaritaville into a restaurant and hotel conglomerate worth one billion $. Well good for him. His reputation was of a 'good guy'! Hope he's tipping a tasty one with the angels.
Man , everytime he's looking for that lost shaker of salt its your time to shout out " Where's the salt , the god damn salt "...or is that just me and my Margaritaville memory ?
I just love it when you say “never heard of him, never heard this song before in my life” and it turns out to be one of the most iconic songs and artists in ‘merica. It just blesses my southern heart. 😆

those are pretty much the classics! dont forget Gypsies in the Palace
All of his hits are great, but I’ve also always loved “Banana Republics.” Definitely one of his most underrated.
He went to Paris and A Pirate Looks at 40, are 2 of his best.
RIP Jimmy, you'll be missed.

This singer and this song are UBIQUITOUS in America.

It's wherever you are. 😂
Wow you hadn't heard of Jimmy Buffett!!! You definitely need to do more.
Jimmy is the King of beach chill vibes 🏖️😎♥️
There's a whole slew of Margaritaville resorts and restaurants now.
"It's 5 oclock somewhere" with Allen Jackson
Great song... "Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw."
His album “Songs You Know by Heart” was always on in my car back in college. He is the epitome of laid back Island life. Always a good vibe and a smile when I hear one of his songs. Enjoy!

You cannot help but like this song!!! It just makes you relax and smile! 💜🎶💜 If you haven't already done it, you'll enjoy It's 5:00 Somewhere!
When I hear this song I conjure up just about every beach memory I have. And then i add in some beach resort fantasies to boot.

The two penultimate “beach vacation groups “ in the US would be The Beach Boys and Jimmy Buffett.

R.I.P. JIMMY
Hey mate, he and a country singer named Alan Jackson did a song together called its five o'clock somewhere. Check it out
Jimmy Buffett “come Monday”
I think the song is meant to capture sort of the Gulf Coast/Carribean beach bum alcoholic lifestyle (such as it is).
Jimmy Buffet is popular with sailors world wide I can attest to that from personal experience. Great song suggestions in the comments.
Yes, I’m a parrot head
Love this song!! Now that you've heard Margaritaville you need to check out Adam Sandler's Marijuanaville. It's hilarious. Great reaction!! 🙂
" searching for my lost shaker of salt.... (In a bar or restaurant you'll shout)...SALT 🧂! SALT🧂! SALT 🧂!
Margaritaville is actually Key West Florida .
Weird? Yes, yes we are and proud to admit it.
I just read last week. Jimmy buffet is the newest member of the billionaires club
There actually is a Margaritaville
Thank you, I thought there would be somewhere.
Man , everytime he's looking for that lost shaker of salt its your time to shout out " Where's the salt , the god damn salt "...or is that just me and my Margaritaville memory ?
