I admit it, I’m a Parrothead. Have been for probably a good 20 years since my friends Sarah and Eric introduced me to this “way of life”. But as time has gone on, I have become a bit of a Jimmy Buffett snob. I’m sorry to say that I don’t necessarily want to spend big bucks to go to a concert and hear any of the following songs:
- Fins
- Cheeseburger in Paradise
- Margaritaville
- Volcano
- Come Monday
- Pencil Thin Mustache
- Fruitcakes
- Son of a Son of a Sailor
- A Pirate Looks at 40
- Grapefruit Juicyfruit
- Why Don’t We Get Drunk
- Changes in Latitude, Changes in Attitude
- Southern Cross (cover)
These songs are on the Parrothead master list, though, and I’m probably in the minority for never wanting to hear any of these songs again. But here I now share with you my ultimate Jimmy Buffett playlist. These are the songs I would pay lots of money to hear at a concert, in no particular order:
- I Wave Bye Bye
- Tin Cup Chalice (my favorite Jimmy Buffett song)
- School Boy Heart
- Beyond the End
- Burn That Bridge
- Survive
- Steamer
- Bama Breeze
- Brahma Fear
- Cairo (cover)
- Elvis Presley Blues
- False Echoes
- Happily Ever After
- In the Shelter
- Jamiaca Mistaica
- Lucky Stars
- Nautical Wheelers
- Only Time Will Tell
- Overkill
- Take Another Road
- Tryin’ to Reason with Hurricane Season
Someone get Buffett to do a show with this set list and I can die a happy woman!
