    Ah... I've been to the original Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville in Key West, Florida. If you ever go, be sure to make your way on down the street and try out a real sloppy joe from Sloppy Joe's Bar. A lot of great history in that one little island.

    Jimmy was born in Mississippi, grew up in Alabama(hence the twang) and after college moved to Key West(where he started writing the "island" music), then he spent most of his life on the Gulf Coast.

  • @thomasstambaugh5181
    @thomasstambaugh5181 2 роки тому +122

    Great tune. Underneath the happy island feel is the tragic story of an alcoholic becoming aware of his habit. In the first chorus, he sings "Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know it's nobody's fault." By the end, he's singing "... and I know it's my own damn fault". It truly is a masterpiece of lyrics and music, creating the impression that "Margaritaville" is an island paradise -- then making it clear that it is a drunken delusion.
    It's easy to miss the real point of this real-life story.

      @theccpisaparasite8813 2 роки тому +6

      IKR, these kids totally missed it! That's part of the genius of the song. The juxtaposition of that jubilant island party music with a story of a guy wallowing in drunken despair over a situation he created.

      I always interpreted it as a guy getting over a break up. Going from blaming her for everything, to accepting "yeah, I fucked that up on my own"

    • @robertsmith-oh9mo
      @robertsmith-oh9mo Рік тому +1

      You really don't understand this song. The song mentions nothing about getting drunk and regretting hit life's decisions. There is a reference to drinking but not to getting drunk. The reference to there being a woman to blame and it being his fault. What male of the species hasn't been in the same situation with a woman when it comes to break up. there always doubts as to what went wrong and whose fault it was. Have you ever been to the Florida Keys? It is a different culture than anywhere else and it's fun to watch the tourists trying to fit in on their two week vacations and looking totally out of place. Lighten up and quit reading something into the song that isn't there. Another song to listen to is "There's a cowboy in the jungle."

It included a bus ride up to Santa Maria with a margarita bar, a stop on the way at Cold Spring Tavern where we picked up hamburgers, and the concert. No one wanted margaritas on the way home. lol Jimmy Buffett is in a class all by himself. ♥ So happy you love him too.

One Particular Harbour, A Pirate Looks At Forty, Earl's Dead - Cadillac For Sale, Peanut Butter Conspiracy, Tin Cup Chalice, and Book On The Shelf are just a few of my favorites. You really can't go wrong with anything he's done and he'll take you down island no matter where you are.

    Jimmy Buffet, born on Christmas day and still 75 years young ! I love the lyrics how it starts as " nobodies fault" , then " hell it could be my fault " and ends with "its my own damn fault " . I think we all see times in our lives like that . I hope you continue on this parrothead ( what the fans are called ) journey. I've enjoyed Jimmy since i was 11 in '77. I wore out my 45 of this and "Cheeseburger in Paradise". Can you believe Jimmy is worth 900 million? he earned every penny. God bless that man.

Went outside and sat on the hood of a caddy to smoke a joint. Big dude came out and asked him to please get off the car. Jimmy thought about giving him a hard time but didn't. Guy got into the caddy and drove away. Someone asked Jimmy, "You know who that was?" It was Bufford Pusser of Walking Tall fame.

    Jimmy has built a near billion dollar empire on escapism and sentimental, family and party songs and experiences.

    Jimmy's sister, Lucy, owns the actual inspiration for Margaritaville. Ono Island is located just off the coastline of Orange Beach, Alabama.
    When Hurricane Frederick hit, it literally changed the geography of the island. Florida tried to claim it, and Alabama said, "Oh no you don't!" Hence the name.

    Jimmy started out in Mobile Alabama as a "Country & Western" singer with some Rock & Roll influence, but growing up on the cusp of the Caribbean, he quickly added "Island" to "his sound". Margaritaville was one of his first adventures into that, and is the unofficial anthem of his fan base.

    For more great Jimmy Buffet in that vain, check out "Havana Daydreamin'," "Son of a Son of a Sailor," or "Cheeseburger in Paradise." For another side of Jimmy Buffet, a truly serious and extremely beautiful song about lost love is "Coast of Marseilles."

    Jimmy Buffet released this song in 1977. He wrote this song inKey West,Florida and his band is Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefer Band. Always a great concert, I’ve seen him a lot being from Miami Florida.. his best concert to me was when he played at the Miami Marine Stadium, it’s a place where they they race boats. The stage was in the water. It’s like a big lagoon, man made like a place where they race cars only it’s water.watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸

    Buffet has many great songs, "Come Monday", "Let's Get Drunk" (Not for kiddos), "Cheeseburger in Paradise", "Son of A Son of A Sailor", :Fins", and "A Pirate Looks At 40" just to name a few. Their fans are called Parrotheads, his concerts are a blast. He has done a duet with Alan Jackson "It's 5 O'clock Somewhere".
    BTW, "Margaritaville" is Key West, FL.
    If I ever need to just chill, this is the song I pick to start it off.

    I’ve seen Come Monday and Son of a Sailor mentioned and those are great as well, but my favorite is He Went To Paris. And that’s not a bad vacation destination either; even though the song itself is more introspective. I almost forgot Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes too.

Pretty good food and the atmosphere is very laid back. I've also seen through a travel vlogger that there is a Margaritaville in the Caribbean that likes features a giant flip flop and also gives out flip flops. Might be worth checking out!

    This song takes me back to the summer of '77 so much. It was my last summer of freedom, until retirement anyway. I had recently signed on the dotted line in several places (here, here, here, and initial here, here, and here, and press hard, there are four copies) and I was due to report to Uncle Sam the first week of September. That predicament bought me some new-found leeway from my mom that summer, and some friends and I spent part of the summer camping completely unsupervised on some rural land owned by one of my friend's family about 50 miles outside of town. All we had was a radio that barely picked up a Top 40 station from the city in the daytime, then poof, went to static when the station cut power promptly at 9 pm as required by the FCC. It was just as well, that gave us some quiet time to sit around the campfire and talk about life, the real part of which we were all on the verge of entering. Anyway, this song and anything that got a lot of top 40 airplay that summer is etched into my mind, and takes me right back to that time and place almost a half century ago (yikes).
    I also remember my teen self not knowing what a margarita was nor realizing he was speaking metaphorically. Thinking he was singing about an actual town, and with cell service being notoriously weak in 1977, thereby leaving a quick check of Google Maps out of the question, I remember futility searching a Rand McNally road atlas to try to find it. It sounded like it should be in Texas, but nope. 😄
