Growing up in Florida, Jimmy Buffet was the bomb! My favorite is his first hit, "Come Monday". He has many great songs
Aww I forgot about that song. Man this was the block party music from July 4th to Labor day.
You get prettier and prettier every time lady. Both are awesome
I always LOVED Come Monday! Amber would really like it, too.
Son of a Sailor and Changes in Latitude are great songs too!
Oh my gosh I’m a huge Buffer fan and that is my favorite!!!
In memory of Jimmy Buffett who we lost last night, I think "Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes" is a very appropriate song for what he represented. RIP Jimmy.
Yes-- PLEASE!
I miss him too
Love it also.
Jimmy Buffet is one of the all time greats. Nothing beats a Parrothead party! So many great songs but no Jimmy Buffet sampling would be complete without the classic "Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw?"
One of his best imo is the colab with Alan Jackson "Its 5 O'clock Somewhere".
@@memnarch129 he’s says like 3 words in that song😂
Parrot head Party and Drunk and screw sound like like your dress up like Peg leg Pete and get kinky lol.
rest in paradise 😔 🕯
He (Jimmy) and Zac Brown are amazing! Knee Deep.....In the water somewhere. If you have not looked into Zac Brown Band....Do it!!!!!
Its not a place, its a state of being Brother.........R.I.P. and Godspeed Jimmy🥰🥰🥰🥰
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.
LOL I was gonna say, Key West is the first place that comes to mind when I hear Jimmy Buffet.
And F*** YEAH Sloppy Joes is my favorite bar in Key West! Great food, good drinks, good music, awesome vibes!
"Come Monday" is mandatory!! I also have a soft spot for "Pencil-thin Mustache" but there are a few references in that song that you guys won't know...it's still a great tune.
As a proud Floridian, who grew up near the beach, Jimmy Buffett is the holy grail of tropical music. His concerts are always fun and his music will lift your spirits! This is a big rabbit hole, but one you will enjoy!
Jimmy really knows how to write songs that tell stories that people can relate to. "He Went to Paris" and "A Pirate Looks at Forty" are two of my favorites.
I was going to suggest those two songs as well.
I love He Went to Paris. My African Friend is great, as well.
The 2 songs you suggested along with Tin Cup Chalice and Reason with a Hurricane Season.
My two faves as well
A pirate looks at 40 reminds me of me in the days of my miss spent youth in South Florida's southeast coast.
Yes, he took us ALL to "Margaritaville"! Bless him, now he's eating a "Cheeseburger in Paradise"! Thanks for your reaction.
RIP Jimmy Buffett...... so many damn beautiful songs
“A pirate looks at forty” one of the greatest songs ever written!
Agree completely!
Without a doubt
*_Rest In Peace Jimmy_*
*_Job Well Done, Sir_*
On this same album is "Changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes" and "Son of a son of a sailor", they always brings me such strong nostalgia for my younger days
Good songs
Son of a Son of a Sailor is actually the title track from the album after this one.
When I worked out of the country for a non U.S. owned company and got paid in local currency, when Banana Republic was played, everyone in the room got really silent because we all identified with it.
@@Dan-C-71 yep...too many people just have Song you know by heart lol
He has a following like the Grateful Dead but we’re called Parrot Heads. His outdoor concerts are the best way to experience Jimmy Buffet…
Sand in the parking lot and a whole audience doing “fins to the right, fins to the left”
There are some really beautiful songs in his catalog, but most people have never heard them
I was in the Marine Corps when this came out. I was with the 5th Marine Regiment which was based in an area of Camp Pendleton, CA called 33 Area aka Camp Margarita. Of course, this song became our unofficial regimental boozing song. About every 3rd or 4th song that played in the base club was this one. Good times!
Thank you for your service colliedad! I salute you! 😀

one of my older brothers was a fire fighter there at Camp Pendleton
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.
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.
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.
Hearing the "lost verse" version makes it a lot more obvious. Much harder to spin it as a happy tune
Don't over think it. It's a song.
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"
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."
RIP Jimmy Buffet ... always had great songs! Will miss him!!
Jimmy has built a near billion dollar empire on escapism and sentimental, family and party songs and experiences. Margaritaville was the start, but an extremely limited vision of his talent and musical catalog, including collaborations with many different genres and being a best-selling author and playwright.
And actor! Check out Hawaii 5-0
Don't forget his "Margaritaville Resorts". Those make bank
@@renafox4481and an episode of Blue Bloods!
The island vibe comes a lot from his choice of instruments. The Steel drums for example.
Magaritaville is an alcohol and left-handed cigarette induced state of mind. My two favourite songs by Jimmy are Pencil Thin Moustache and Volcano.
At the 1987 America's Cup Jimmy Buffett would appear unannounced, guitar over shoulder, in a random Freo pub and put on free impromptu concerts.
Everyone talks about Jimmy Buffett's party songs like "Fins" and "Cheeseburger in Paradise" but my favorite is "Come Monday". He has such a great voice which you don't really get to hear in the party songs.
"A Pirate Looks at Forty" and "Cheeseburger in Paradise" You'll love both of these Jimmy Buffet hits. It's tropical beach music baby!
This used to be on the radio so much when I was a kid during the summer, that it still always takes me back to being at the campground with my family as a kid. 40 something years ago, and most of them are gone now....but for a few minutes listening to this, I'm right back there sitting at the campfire roasting marshmallows and hot dogs on a stick looking up at the stars.
I grew up in Florida (central gulf coast) and I remember Jimmy showing up at local bars and singing ad hoc! He is a treasure for sure!
I lived in Miami and would see him in restaurants and bars in Coconut Grove.
The 70s had a lot of the best feeling songs ever
Jimmy Buffett turned that sound into career and it turned them into one of the most successful musicians in history. Seriously the man is a billionaire.
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.
😭
I miss him too @@ViperLime-uy9tw
You guys finally discovered Jimmy!!! I'm so happy for you!!! Margaritaville is his signature song and biggest hit, but he has no shortage of amazing tunes. 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.
Great song, one of my sisters is a big Jimmy Buffett fan, or a “Parrot head” as they call themselves.
Wife here..Yes..,ultimate vacation song and artist!!..Was in town a few days ago...(Charlotte NC)..his fans are affectionately called "Parrotheads"..Amber it totally has an Island- Country sound..Well said..!!!
"God's own Drunk" greatest singing folktale blues cover ever!!
Back in the 70s in Santa Barbara, a radio station was giving away tickets to a Buffett concert at the County Fair. 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.
Jimmy has been throwing down some of the best live concerts (including tailgating scene) for many decades!
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.
That's a myth . Alabama got the island and the area from Flora-Bama to the pass for building the bridge. Lulu's is in Gulf Shores on the intercoastal
I respectfully disagree on it being a myth, but I'm not going to argue about it.
"Blew out my Flip-Flop, stepped on a pop top." ICONIC line from an ICONIC song.
Just put his whole album Songs You Know By Heart on your vacation playlist, there is not a bad song on the whole album. It is as relaxing as you get.
I'm shocked you didn't mention how the chorus changed! It's my favorite part of this song! Garth Brooks took a page from Jimmy's playbook in his song "Two Pinia Coladas".
RIP Good Sir. Jimmy Buffett will be missed. This hit me hard today, so sad. R.
I went to one of his concerts - about a million years ago. Jimmy Buffet had a broken leg! Great concert!
Jimmy is the ultimate story teller....please do more!!!
This is one of those really well-known songs that’s played it most functions. Great song and very catchy
RIP Jimmy! Thank you for the music! 🌴♥
Jimmy and Margaritaville is KEY WEST 😀🌴
"Come Monday" and "He Went to Paris" are a couple of touching songs that are must hear. Plus "A Pirate Looks at Forty" and "Son of a Son of a Sailor" are fun but deep. Then a host of fun songs like Margaritaville
...Pencil Thin Mustache, Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw, Boat Drinks....so many!
Probably 4 of my top ones too.
For fun songs, there's the classic of "Cheeseburger in Paradise", "Boat Drinks". or "Why Don't We Get Drunk"
For serious songs, there's "He Went to Paris", "A Pirate Looks at Forty", or "Come Monday".
But they're all best enjoyed with a glass of something, later in the day when you're done with all obligations.
Or bowl of something. Remember who we are talking about.😉
"God's Own Drunk" is a great song as well.
Also Fins. Volcano, Mental Floss, Desdemonas building a rocket ship
all fun songs
When my son was a toddler I'd sing Cheeseburger in Paradise to him because he HATED pickles, he would whine and whine. He's 30 and just got a cheeseburger tattoo.
Yes - the Parrothead rabbit hole is fun. Almost like you are on the beach with every song.
Jimmy Buffet is an icon here in Florida, a lot of his music revolves around the history and culture of the state. My favorite song of his you guys could check out is Beach House On The Moon.
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.
Jimmy is his own genre with a cult-like following called Parrotheads. His concerts are a blast! Everyone is in costumes relating to his song lyrics. He is a marketing genius. Margaritaville was his breakout song and gives it's name to a chain of destination restaurants. He is also an author of several books, my favorite of which is "A Salty Piece Of Land".
There's also margaritaville branded resorts.
Parrothead here. So agree, his concerts are a freakin blast.
Tully Mars.....Though i think i liked "Where is Joe Merchant?" a bit more.
Best concert ever!!!!
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."
You forgot his masterpiece song, "Why Don't We Get Drunk and S***?"
Anybody remember the name of the songs " find to the left and fins
To the right and you're the only game in town...
Sharks. ???
Volcano
@@donnabruhn6907 fins opening cut on volcano
The weather is hereI wish you were beautiful
Has been a motto, for most of my life growing up in Florida since 1972. Mainland & Island life in the Caribbean! RIP brother
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.
My fav's of his are the more deep songs like A Pirate Looks at 40 and Son of A Sailor.
The original Margaritaville was named JB’s Margaritaville and it was in Gulfshores Alabama Jimmy Buffet is from Mobile Alabama and his sister LuLu has a huge restaurant in Gulfshores to this day.
I also love Boat Drinks and Volcano.
There was a plumb tree in the yard of the house I rented when I was in the Navy. Friends would come over and we lived on plumb margaritas with Jimmy Buffet set the mood in the stereo! Great memories! Loved your reaction! :)
5 O’clock Somewhere is another great one, it’s a duet with Jimmy and Alan Jackson. It’s a great tune.
RIP Jimmy Buffet. 9/2/23. Loved your music.
Padre island and Jimmy Buffett songs. What good times and memories.
Jimmy is also a gifted writer, as in novels.
My other favorite Jimmy songs are Fins, and Pencil Thin Mustache, although he has plenty of other worthy hits to react to.
This was a HUUUUGE hit in the 70s Did i say huge I MEAN HUGE lol
The FL Keys is where you’ll find it! We parrot heads appreciate this reaction. Saw Buffet on the show “ Blue Bloods” several months ago. Pleasant surprise. I’ve been to so many of his shows. Used to come to Starlight around Pittsburgh a lot. I also love that little bit of 🇯🇲 added!
Jimmy made at least a BILLION on this song with all the merchandise and all the concerts etc... the fans buy it up like there's no tomorrow!
Jimmy Buffett is one of my absolute favorites. This is a rabbit hole you'll want to go down. I have seen him multiple times in concert and I have loved him every time. I own bunch of albums tapes CDs he is just incredible
YAY! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 One of my favorite singalong songs! This song just does not get old! I love it still after all these years! I am so glad you chose to react to this song! I am so glad you enjoyed it too! It has the island feel to it! My favorite line of the song is:
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
Enjoyed your reactions! Cheers! 🍹🍸
It's awesome listening to this in a crowd. After he says, "lost my shaker of salt,", everyone shouts ,"Salt, salt, where's the damn salt!"
I like that duet he did with Martina McBride “Trip Around the Sun”. Also love his remake of this with Alan Jackson:)
Oh! and don't forget "Five O'clock Somewhere" with Alan Jackson :) ruclips.net/video/BPCjC543llU/видео.html
I been to Margaritaville, in more ways than one. It's in Key West. A wonderful, wonderful place.
That does it! Where's my shaker of salt?
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.
His first big hit was a song called "Come Monday". A song about a guy calling home from the road saying that "Come Monday, it'll be alright". A very sweet country ballad.
I know this an older reaction, but grown up to Jimmy Buffett and this song always brought a smile to my heart, but now its so hard to not have a tear to go with that smile.
RIP Jimmy.
George Strait - The seashore of Old Mexico You can't go wrong with Mr Jimmy Buffett!
The steel drums absolutely make this song fantastic! Love Jimmy Buffet!
I graduated HS in 76 and joined the military and retired 20 later...every beach and every boat I was on around the world the Margaritaville 8-track...cassette and now CD was always playing...64 now in the Ozarks of NW Arkansas still got Jimmy with me....
Jimmy B is so cool to see live in person! Great atmosphere and people really get into the show. During this song everyone yells "salt, salt, salt , salt." Good times!
Jimmy Buffet is someone you have to see in concert... Its one big island party.🦜🦈🏖🏝🦈🦜🥳
This song is part of our culture, glad you guys found it! It's deeper than you'd think; Jimmy Buffet is singing about grieving a lost relationship, and he's drinking his way through it (wasting away)...he slowly learns to take responsibility for the situation as the song progresses. Something I think many of us go through. Love y'all!
I appreciate your comments...A lot of people think of this as a lighthearted, fun beach party song, but it's actually pretty dark...
'A song-(A 🌴🌴GREAT SONG!')-THAT ALOT OF US GREW up LISTENING 2!'--'Great memories!'--Nostalgia~🍸💜
You guys have to see Jimmy in concert before we no longer have him with us. His songs are great but they are best experiences live with all the parrot heads. It is an experience different from any other concert.
You just got a whole generation singing and harmonizing with this song. Such a classic.
In the dictionary under the word "vibe" it lists "Margaritaville"...or, at least it should. It's one of the best songs. And hardly anyone reacts to it!!!! Thank you! I have loved this song since I was about 5 years old, when it first released!
Tropical and Southern. Total Florida vibe. Especially Key West
I haven’t heard this song forever. I lived in Mexico for a year when I was 28 travelling in and out of work. I’m 50 now this has me thinking of moving back. It was a great time great people.
Another great reaction guys. Jimmy is great and an awesome songwriter. Anyone that can write a hit song about a cheeseburger is pretty darn good!! Try these songs on for size...Defying Gravity, A Pirate looks at Forty, Somewhere Over China and Son of a Sailor. Oh, I forgot Cheeseburger in Paradise.
For all you kids out there, a "pop top" is a little metal tab you used to have to pull off the top of a beer or pop can. Instead of pulling the tab up and pushing in the tab on cans like you do now, there was an aluminum ring that pulled off a wedge shaped piece of metal that left the opening you'd drink out of. Pulling open the tab caused it to curl, and it was completely detached from the can, so if you just threw it on the ground, someone who was barefoot could step on it and cut their foot.
Haha! I was thinking about submitting a very similar comment. I remember that people would make chains out of those pull-tabs. Our neighbor even made a bunch of those chains and hung them from the ceiling in the passage between the living room and hallway, because they didn't have beads to hang (which was a decorating trend at the time). Those guys drank a LOT of beer!
Yep, I cut my foot more than once on those pop tops.
I was 'lucky' enough when running around at a campground with friends to trip and fall on one that was lying in the grass on its side. Unluckily for me, this was a campground at a lake, so I was shirtless.
45 years later, I still have a faint parallel scar on my torso :-)
Yes indeed, send me to Margaritaville immediately.
My husband used to drive the grand children to school in the mornings. One weekend we were going on an outing. He put Jimmy Buffets tape on and he and the grand children sang every song. I had never heard of Jimmy Buffet until then. This brings back so many great memories. Thank you.
I suggest you check out Buffet's duet with Alan Jackson, "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere." It's fun and relatable. The unusual sound you hear is a percussion instrument, the Xylophone or marimba.
xylophone? Or steel drums?
@@AndersonDawesWasRight definitely xylophone. Steel drums, good gues, have a distinctive bell like ringing sound. An example can be heard in the Beach Boys hit, "Cocomo."
I love the progression of the song."Some people claim that there's a woman to blame but I know, it ain't nobody's fault."
"Some people claim that there's a woman to blame and I'm beginning to think, hell, it may be my fault."
"Some people claim that there's a woman to blame but I know, it's my own damn fault." I found that humorous.
The song is about alcoholism….
Sometimes during the week during the 80s, I’d play solo at the local watering hole in my little home town. Jerry Jeff Walker, Willie and Waylon and plenty of Buffett songs mixed in.
Come Monday, Son Of A Son Of A Sailor, A Pirate Looks At Forty, Death Of An Unpopular Poet, Why Don’t We Get Drunk, He Went To Paris, Grapefruit Juicy Fruit, Trying To Reason With Hurricane Season…..
Folks never got tired of hearing Jimmy Buffett songs…..
Come Monday is another awesome song by Jimmy Buffett. So sweet! Y'all will love it.
Jimmy Buffet is featured in Alan Jackson’s “5 o’clock Somewhere” too
This is the greatest concert and tailgating party you’ll ever got to !!!!
Come Monday-a beautiful song by Jimmy Buffet. He has an EXTENSIVE catalogue! Lots of fun songs!
Love me some Buffett. His books, music and life in general. Best concerts EVER.. Parrotheads are the bomb.
Guys other similar songs and artists are Jackson Browne must be somebody’s babe great song great time great era
He's a Mississippi boy from the Gulf coast He was Born and raised in Pascagoula, MS. also the mobile, ALA. area went to USM Hattiesburg Ms.. A lot of us believe he is talking about his younger days in Biloxi, Ms He has done a lot for the local area. His first hit was" Come Monday" .Ya.ll need to hear "Cheese Burger in Paradise". There is a Margaritaville in Biloxi for family and mainly kids big place. Thank ya'll
The original is in Key West.
@@marlarogers9304 You are right He was in key west. a lot of people think he took from his influences, that would then be both places.so both regions have clam to a great artist...
Sorry to hear Jimmy Buffet passed away 😢 prayers from parrot heads for him
Jimmy Buffet is one of the 5 wealthiest singer/songwriters in the world. That should tell you how popular he has been and for such a long time.
What with the music and the restaurants and resorts and books he’s worth around $900 million.
He's not only popular, he knows how to handle and invest the money he makes. After all, he's related to Warren Buffett.
Seeing Jimmy live is a real experience. His fans, The Parrotheads, are full on into it.
🔥🌴
Best memories, seeing his show! Beach balls flying around, awesome music, and the abundant smell of... something? in the air. 🤣
Parrotheads and his Coral Reefer Band 🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@Calamity_Jack sensimilla
I think I ended up there once ... I was somewhere in Florida . It was the coolest party .
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. 😄
R.I.P Jimmy Buffett Timeless song
This song is >40 years old, and it speaks to every generation that hears it. It’s so heart warming to see teens to grands and great grands belting this song out.
You do know this song is about alcoholism right?
@@ianstradian It is most definitely *not*. Just because he is trying to drown his sorrows with Margaritas doesn’t make it about alcoholism. He is describing somewhat purposeless days of living in the Florida Keys, and reflecting on a failed relationship, attempting to drown out the memory of the breakup with Margaritas. His friends tell him it’s her fault, he realizes it was his. Not because of drinking, it’s because he has been living a laid-back purposeless life; he took to care-free beach resort life too far.
@@pmgandco6322 Jimmy Buffet actually said it’s about alcoholism….
End of argument.
Every issue or problem in the song is cured “by a frozen concoction that helps me hang on”
This song is about alcoholism.
@@ianstradian Cite source, including interviewer, publication, date, etc. Otherwise, you are speculating and applying subjective interpretation and conjecture. Interviews from multiple interviews with Rolling Stones, 60 Minutes, Katie Couric… all asking him about Margaritaville, he replies that he wrote it starting in Austin and finished it on the 7 Mile Bridge, about 10 minutes total writing time, and it’s about escapism, beach life, and sure, about mourning the loss of his girl. Even on his own website he describes it “A laid-back anthem about escapism and life in the tropics.”
@@pmgandco6322 I can’t site the interview but it was a charity event for a drug abuse foundation.
But listen to the lyrics, everything is solved by alcohol from failed relationships to stepping on a bottle cap and cutting his heal… he knows it and even says as much….
“Some people say that there’s a woman to blame,,, but I know it’s my own damn fault “
And it all leads back to that “frozen concoction that helps me hang on”
Meaning he can’t cope with out alcohol.
The song is about alcoholism!
BTW: the very first JB’s Margaritaville bar was in Gulfshores Alabama. ( my home town)
Jimmy Buffet is from Mobile Alabama.
If you read his book “A pirate looks at 50” he talks about the role alcohol played in his youth.
