Mention Jimmy Buffett and you automatically think Margaritaville, Boat Songs, partying, calypso music etc..
However, on Mondays I find myself thinking about this tune of his that I first heard on the juke box at the Hideaway Bar. I remember it catching my ear and immediately wondering who was singing it. When someone at the bar told me that it was Jimmy Buffett I didn’t believe them until I went over and verified it on the juke box.
Out of all of his many tunes, this is probably my favorite of his. Even more so than his Alan Jackson duet on Five O’clock Somewhere his other big hit. In the video intro below he mentions Come Monday as being one of his 2.4 hits so I’m guessing that that means Wasted Away in Margaritaville is the .4 of his calculations. Not sure about that though.)
P.S. As he states in the video Jimmy is still married to Jane.
