I've got to disagree, respectfully, with the "turn you brain off" for this song. There is some subtle, clever, song writing going on here. The singer goes through some real self-realization here. He starts off thinking his troubles are nobody's fault, then starts to realize it could be his fault, then finally admits that it is his own damn fault. Great storytelling in what seems to be a simple song. Love it!
I have to agree. These guys are otherwise pretty perceptive but they entirely missed the mark here. The narrator is in a self-pitying, self-destructive alcoholic funk, and the genius is the little bit of self-recognition. Part of the genius of the song are the marimbas and the vacation-feel, but someone who’s hung around the resort way too long.
@@jiwi736 Professor of Rock just did a segment on the song, talked to the producer who said he hated the idea of the song, and the title. One song built a billion dollar empire, basically. ua-cam.com/video/0DTfihZHE9o/v-deo.html
It can also be a turn your brain off song, depending on your mood. They're on vacation! lol
A truly great wordsmith.
Visual imagery is the genius of this song. Even songs that are considered to be overplayed should have a place on our playlist. One of the few tunes I can sing along and always remember the lyrics. Well done , Jimmy!
What a great song from such a great man. RIP Jimmy
Jimmy Buffet spent his teenage years in Mobile, AL. He went to McGill-Toolen High School, and my parents lived across the street from there later in the 80s. My sister and I drove to Pensacola to see him in concert about 1989 where he ended the concert with a “public service announcement”. He warned the crowd about AIDS, threw five gallons of condoms into the crowd, and ended by singing “Why Don’t We Get Drunk and Screw” 😂
@Views_From_The_502 from The 513: You're less than 200 miles from one of the biggest Parrot Head fan-bases of Jimmy Buffet! Cincinnati is huge fan of JB since the 1980s. Deeply miss him and the hope of another Parrot-Head day in our own 'Margaritaville' (not to mention JBs restaurants 'Cheeseburger In Paradise'! Thanks for your great review--there is joy in remembering, too 🙂
A pop top is a pull tab from an old soda pop can... they used to pull all the way off.
I got to see him 07/05/1981 in the old Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego with another group of folks. Great show all around. $50 all day, festival seating, and back in the day when we got what we paid for.😎
He's an alcoholic. He must have been a wreck because I know how my tattoos got there.
Salt me😁
RIP Jimmy😇
Gentlemen, there is so much more to JB's music the the party tunes. He was a world class song writer - lyricist. A true poet. He was admired and friends with many other best singer' song writers, e.g. Dylan, Prine, Goodman, Taylor and McCartney. Check out, "He went to Paris," A brilliant and poignant tune.
Yall should do smokin buy boston
Now do Come Monday and A Pirate Looks At Forty.
RIP Jimmy Buffet, we lost a legend
The song " fruitcakes" is the one to do
His Official Video for "Come Monday" is great. Not only is it a great tune, but Jimmy opens the video discussing the genesis of the video... he was essentially a broke singer-songwriter, so the video is very amateurish, features his own daily-driver beater truck, along with his girlfriend at the time (who became his wife).
When you can, check out Buffett’s new posthumous release, “Bubbles Up.” A perfect coda to a life well lived.
Just know that уou all lоve
There is light up abovе
And joy there iѕ аlways enough

Come Monday is a good one and is different from Jimmy’s other hits. Saw him in concert and it was a good time for sure
Jimmy Buffet's best song. Why? Because it is a great song. Has it all -- catchy melody, witty lyrics, good solo, good vocals. Buffet has many other good songs, of course. But Margaritaville is his best.
Isn't that the way life is? Anything that tastes good, like a twinkie, is bad for you.
LOL, funny they don't know what a "pop top" is.
please jimmy buffet CHEESE BURGUR IN PARIDIASE PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
This is taking too long gentlemen! First of all, you should have been doing JB long before now! Second, you should have gotten a song out within 24 hours. The world is mourning and heartbroken over this beloved man’s passing. And for the love of God, do something else besides Margaritaville
I don't get how you guys feel this is a vacation song. The guy in the song just sounds sad and pathetic to me, not how I want to feel on vacation. If I wanted to drink myself into oblivion, I would stay home, it's cheaper.
A pop top is from back in the day when you'd open a soda or a beer can and the part you popped comes completely off of the can and is thrown away. It had some very sharp edges and was routinely thrown on the ground.
i always thought he was referring to a bottle cap
either way - not something you want to step on.
Yep, the olds cans didn't have a retainable lid, they pulled right off. I heard it was actually a beer can that he stepped on, but that didn't rhyme.
Until about 1980, they were on the ground EVERYWHERE. When I was a kid in the 70s, my mom was always saying, "Don't step on any pop tabs."
A pop-top was the metal piece you opened a Beer or Coke with back then, it did not stay on the can like now, pushed down, it came off, and a lot got slung to the grown, which cut a lot of peoples feet.
or you stuck it in the can and were careful to not kill yourself swallowing it
Or you could use it to fling the tab for some good distance.
He had some silly songs but his best songs were the more introspective songs. He had a way with words. Delve deeper. Check out “A Pirate Looks at Forty”
He Went to Paris and Changes in Latitudes changes in Attitudes are 2 of my favorites by him…
These types of songs I always find interesting - the happy, upbeat melody that masks the darkness of the lyrics. The guy is lonely, lost a relationship and he is drinking and drinking and drinking away his sorrows.
Wasting away, a blackout tattoo, needing tequila just to hang on.
The people that just dismiss him usually only know about 5 songs
Please check out He Went To Paris. It was one of Bob Dylan’s favorite songs
Nice that you are honoring Jimmy Buffett upon his death. Please check out another big hit by another popular artist who died a few days ago too, Gary Wright: "Dream Weaver".
"My Love is Alive" is my favorite but Dream Weaver is great also.
@@suzanneprock7286 Yes, "Love Is Alive" and his last mainstream hit "Really Wanna Know You" in the early 1980's.
Yes Dream Weaver is a great song! 😊
They need to do Love is Alive (because they did Dream Weaver already: ua-cam.com/video/jX1rWW7E5bg/v-deo.html)
Also a way to attract clicks for people reminiscing about JB
My favorite part of the song is the progression in the last line of the three choruses: "It's nobody's fault" ---> "It could be my fault" --> "It's my own damn fault" A+
J.B. concerts were quite a party. People would go just for the *pre-game* festivities.
He lived in the Keys. The tourist, he watch and be amused. He was an avid sailor. He also was a charitable person. He had many more songs that are amazing. I'm a parrothead. His concerts were fantastic! Delve deeper!
Listen to the video Come Monday...Totally different sound
Now dang it, I gotta hit up the fish market tomorrow and get everything for a shrimp boil ❤ Hey from Florida Coast! I've seen him 6 times in 55 years !! Love the reaction!
When asked which state Margaritaville was in, Buffet answered, "It's in a state of mind."
Angel Food Cake probably, lobster is the best, this is a great song!
This song launched an empire for Mr Buffett. And it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Jimmy Buffet rocks out on "Cheeseburger in Paradise".
Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude is also a GREAT song. The entire album worth listening to.
Son of A Son of a Sailor and A Pirate Looks At 40 are two that hang with you and gather up your views of life.
You asked "What's a pop top?" The tops of aluminum cans of soda/pop used to come off when you opened the can. And they were sharp metal which caused a potential hazard. At some point, they started making the cans with tops that stayed attached thereby eliminating the possibly of getting cut. As in the song: "Stepped on a pop top. Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home"
They asked JB where the hell is Margaritaville. He answered it's anywhere you want it to be. If you want to shut off your mind and play this song or any song by JB you can take a vacation in your mind. Parrot Heads will keep his music alive. RIP JB.
You should review Come Monday, it is NY favorite Jimmy Buffet song.
There are 23 Margaritaville restaurants
Everyone equates him with this song, but I've always preferred Come Monday. Gets me in the feels.
Well you guys enjoy some of my favorite beaches ever! I'm a little jealous! Love Gulf Shores & Orange Beach.....have fun and don't drink too many Margaritas LOL Thanks for the tribute to JB 🙂
We vacationed in Key West, back in the mid-1980's. Ran out of money halfway through because we drank too much and did too many excursions, diving, deep sea fishing, etc. So for food, we only ate between 4p and 6p at the free appetizer buffets during "Happy Hour" that every bar and club offered back in the day. We bought draft beers so management didn't mind our feeding frenzy! When we realized we were so broke we didn't have any money to get back home, yours truly entered a wet T-shirt contest, won it, and we then had $100, which was a lot back then, securing we'd have money for food and gas to make it home with plenty left over. God Bless America and God Bless Jimmy Buffet!
lobster 🦞, catfish and shrimp in that order! Alan Jackson redid this song check out! Catchy song
The title track to this album "Changes in Latitutes, Changes In Attitudes" is my favorite Buffet song
I think you guys would love The Moody Blues "The Voice". As good as Al Stewart
His concerts were one huge tailgate party before and after the concert. RIP Jimmy, missed and never forgotten.
Everyone is doing Margaritaville, JB had so so many other great songs, I'd love to see reactions to Cowboy In The Jungle or Little Miss Magic, maybe Fruitcakes or Beach House On The Moon, these are just a few my favorites
Come Monday
The title track, Changes.
@@reddoxx4754 Yes! My favorite from Jimmy Buffett.
Love your shirts. Where I live, we have a Margaritaville resort and homes. You can buy condos, single family homes. There is a hotel along with a Floradays restaurant. BTW, the blender is called a frozen concoction maker. Thanks for the review. Other great songs you fellows might enjoy is "Boat Drinks" and "Twelve Volt Man." (the "die hard" in that song refers to a Craftsman Battery in case you don't understand what he means). He had a recording studio in Key West.
Love this song! R.I.P. Jimmy Buffett!
Jimmy built an empire off the strength of that song, amazing. love it!
Can you please give your views on The Philosopher Kings - Hurts to Love You, which is also a Canadian Band. Thank you.
Old beer cans had lids that pulled completely off. These pull-tabs were dropped everywhere and they were sharp. It wasn't long before the lids had an opening that kept the pop opening in the can like now. I found a few under my father-in-law's deck when we re-built it. It was a great throw-back to the early 70's. Buffet loved the Steel Drums from the Caribbean scene. Margaritaville was one. Listen to "Come Monday." It was his first hit.
I like the way that with each drink, he comes closer to revealing that his trouble with his girl was his own fault! (He started off with 'it's nobody's fault,' to 'it could be my fault,' to 'it's my own damn fault.') 😂
We got to see him back in 1978 in the mountains of California. Great outdoor concert ,sitting on the grass on a hill. Very fun.
You guys really need to listen to Breakdown dead ahead by the Boz! Excellent!
Shrimp can be unbeatable most days, but some days nothing beats blue claw crab with melted butter! Alaskan crab though, is a miracle of nature 😋
RIP Jimmy you will be missed ❤❤❤
You are missing his best music. He wrote such poetic songs, and this is not one of them.
Margaritaville and Bubba Gump Shrimp😎
Funny, I never thought of this as vacation music--more like beach bum music. You know, like people who lived on the beach pretty much--or hung around the boardwalk and piers a lot, not just there for a short spell. Anyway, he made good music. I'm not a huge fan, but I have "Come Monday" in my top 100 songs of all time.
All he did with one successful song. Not bad.
Come Monday and the video are worth checking out
You might also add "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes and "Vacation" by the Go-Go's to your vacation playlist.
I was a teen when this song came out and I didn't "get" or appreciate the lyrics. I didn't know that a margarita is a drink. I took the chorus at face value and thought Margaritaville was an actual place. 😄 I guessed it was probably in Florida or maybe Texas and it It drove me nuts that I couldn't find it in my Rand-McNally atlas. Oh, how I miss that age of innocence.
A "pop top" in those days was the pull-off part on the top of a beverage can. It had a ring that you put your finger through, pulled the ring up and toward you, completely off the can. Many times the metal pop top with its sharp edges then just got dropped on the ground. For some reason as an alternative it became the "cool" thing to put the removed pop top through the opening and into the drink. I guess that's better than dropping it on the ground, but maybe not so much if you forget it's in there and choke on it.
Years later (the '80s?) came the kind of beverage can top we know now, the kind that opens the can but (usually) doesn't come off, thereby eliminating the risk that someone who blew out their flip flop will step on it, cut their heel, and have to cruise on back home. 😄
I stepped on my share of pop tops at the beach as a kid. Good memories 🌴
The best beach song, ever.
Great reaction fellas.
*What's a pop-top?* 🤣 I'm old!!!
"Straight Tequila Night" by Floridian John Anderson would be a good follow-up.
His "Seminole Wind" is great too. And "Swingin'".
Two Pina Coladas! One for each hand! Is one by Jimmy I love to sing while I work while it's getting close to beer 30! Of course for me it's Vodka 30!
Thar is a Garth Brooks song. Not Buffett.
Great job guys! You definitely are brothers 😂😂
Margaritaville? Oh please, you could've done better: "Changes in Attitude, Changes in Latitude" or "A Pirate Looks at 40." Still, it's a good song--with Jimmy it's all in the lyrics & state of mind, but not sure if you'll get the vibe.
@icumandgo7099 no, it's his most well-known
Best concerts ever.
Gold chain!
Loved the impromptu Beach Boys session at the end😂❤️
The ending is awesome, it’s not for nothing that I watched to the end 😂
Happiest sad song ever!
Cheeseburger in Paradise
The imagery in this song is probably some of the best, thanks to the tone/instrumentals, vocals and the lyrics most of all: "sponge cake" (soaked in rum), tourists baking under the sun in oil, shrimp boiling, strumming a guitar lazily on a porch swing, flip flops, being hungover, frozen blender concoctions, Mexico, washing away your worries and being a bum, etc.
Funnily enough he never once mentions the beach or any body of water though you're already picturing it.
RIP .... so many memories with this song. Always a good vibe and vacation song! You spoiled the video w/Aaron Rogers. 😂 I also stepped on a pop top. Pop cans used to have tops that came off. I was running in the pool.area and stepped on one. Still have the scar. (.i was 4 when we went to Gatlinburg). He just came to Wrigley Field earlier this year. Cheeseburger in Paradise is also good! Never tire of this song!n
Just saw the outtake. 😂. Your voice has range. 😊
Jimmy grew up in Mobile Alabama. He's and Alabama boy
As a lifelong Floridian, I'm lucky to have this laid back lifestyle 24/7. Jimmy & Bob Marley are on repeat on the beach & on the boat. It's how we roll. Is there anything better than being at a Jimmy concert with your toes in the sand on the beach? Did in on Fort Myers Beach. RIP 🙏🏻 from your Parrotheads. We will forever do "Fins to the left Fins to the right"
Ryan wanted to know what a pop-top was. Before the stay-on-tab was invented for aluminum can drinks, we had pop-tops or ring-pulls. The problem with them is that they came completely off the can. People would discard them and if they ended up in an area where people were barefoot, they could get cut with the razor-sharp edge of the piece of aluminum that was removed.
It’s all the same thing? Not hardly. Explore his catalog.
Not a seafood person. People should remember what they're eating is what that seafood they ate is in their food🤢
Hearing you ask what a pop top is made me cringe in old age.
Thank you guys. He sold a life style that many thought to be idyllic. “Come Monday” and “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes” are my favorites. When he opened his casino in Vegas, he said the first time he passed through Vegas he had about $10 in his pocket which was his total savings and died a billionaire. By all accounts, he was a very nice, humble and funny man. RIP Jimmy.
Check out his best…….why don’t we get drunk………
This one’s just ok, not a big favorite
Back when the song was written in the 1970's, soft drinks (and beer!) cans all had ring, pull tabs on top for opening. You would pull the ring, and the whole tab would come off the top of the can. Not being all that environmentally conscious at that time, people would just pull the top and toss it on the ground, often at beaches. He's saying, "I broke my flip-flop sandal, had to go barefoot, and stepprd on one of those metal pull-top rings. Manypeople sufferea cut on the foot while out walking barefoot.
Avenged sevenfold released a new album you should check it out
RIP
Same Ryan!Never liked Twinkies!!
