Listening to Jimmy Buffett - Cheeseburger in Paradise (With my special shirt and Parrot head🦜)

[@tacocin]

I remember an interview years ago when Buffet was asked about the meaning of Cheeseburger in Paradise. He told the story of a boating incident where the boat motor was disabled. The people on the boat, including himself were restricted to a diet of canned goods and peanut butter. While doing that he dreamed of a big fat juicy cheeseburger. When they finally made it back to civilization, there was a small place to eat near the dock. He ordered a cheeseburger but it really looked bad. The meat and the bun appeared burned but he said it was the best cheeseburger he ever had.

[@Realest636]

Hunger does make the best cook.

[@MrBeaker1158]

I live in Mobile not far from Gulf Shores. Jimmy Buffett used to play the bars here and along the coast before he hit it big. His early songs are really good. Come Monday put him on the map. Pencil thin mustache, changes in latitudes changes in attitudes to name a few.

[@brucealbietz1283]

The thing about Jimmy Buffet is whether you are young ,or a grandparent,who can take his grandchildren to the concert and each can enjoy it . His music is just feel good music appealing to all ages

[@inked7334]

You would go NUTS at a concert. The tail gating is an experience you have to have at least once. A giant party all day and night with the most fun loving people you'll ever meet.

[@mabrrm]

The best summer job he ever had he said.

[@johnforsyth7987]

Jimmy Buffet singing on the beach. People go to his concerts to relax and have fun. Please consider reacting to the Harp Twins again. Their music is so beautiful.

[@ginamarandino6451]

This particular concert was a benefit that was done quite a while ago when the gulf had a horrible oil spill he did the concert right outside of his hotel on the beach and the Gulf of Mexico.

[@ginamarandino6451]

@A Stand User you know Marie should react to a song off of his on course album it's acoustic it's called la de Louisiana. It's all in French!

[@michaeldegen5854]

You really need to see him in concert!!! It’s so worth the money.

[@leehigdon5096]

If you ever get the chance to see him do it. It will be I think the best concert you will ever see. I have seen him and it's like going to a 2 hour party. Every one knows the songs everyone sings along. No one sits down everyone stands and has fun. He puts on a great show!

[@rcinsley]

Great reaction, Marie! Jimmy always brings happiness and we can't have too much of that. His concerts are huge parties, and it's impossible to wear something that's too outrageous.

[@JHargis68]

Positivity parties...no negativity, no fighting, no contention...just letting yourself go for a little while and having a Hell of a time.

[@michaelscott9974]

You have that look on your face God I wish I was there You would never forget that concert One of those things you would tell your grandkids about while smiling

[@TheInutWarrior]

Like your hat. Awesome reaction. 😉

[@rocky95057]

Hi Marie. Great channel it's always a pleasure to watch your reactions, Being a singer with a country band for many years it's always wonderful when you can put a smile on someone's face or take then back to a special memory in their life. All the best and take care.

[@thatguy6054]

Marie, in popular English the word "head," added to another word, is often used to mean thoughts, inspirations, attitudes, interests or mindset. For example, the British use the term petrolhead to refer to somebody who is into cars and motorcycles and such. In America, we use the terms gearhead or motorhead for car guys. The US state of Wisconsin is known for its dairies and people there call themselves cheeseheads. So, Jimmy buffet fans are called Parrotheads because we're inspired by Jimmy's attitude of tropical beaches, sunny skies, calm oceans, relaxed fun and fruity drinks with little umbrellas. And we absolutely do wear parrot hats,... and pirate hats and shark hats, and cheeseburger hats and margarita hats and.... Your hat is a great one! When you wear it to one of Jimmy's concerts you'll fit right in.

[@kenehlears7716]

I loved this one dear.have loved jimmy for years.he concerts are so much fun.glad to see he has another parrot head in his following.once again the lovely Marie has made my day😁❤😁❤

[@pbertlin6194]

Jimmy is the classic story teller, his songs tell a story of many experiences in his life. His shows are greet fun, the preshow is a must see(Have been to three through out the years)😎💖💘

[@TheMacRiada]

Every year he does a concert at Orange Beach, Alabama, done in the Summertime. Gulf Shores & Orange Beach are the main beaches, unless one travels about 30 miles East to Pensacola, Florida. Love em all & can’t wait to get there this Summer.

[@kingnothing77685]

This is such an iconic song, nice job doing this reaction.

[@bloodybutunbowed291]

You really put a smile on my face...Every time I see one of your videos in the morning...Thank you!!!

[@stevej1154]

Thanks Marie, that was good fun. It's like an awesome beach party.

[@aliwantizu]

Bonjour Marie! I'm glad you got to wear your Jimmy Buffet gear. There was a restaurant chain named after this song, but most of them closed by 2014 after ownership issues, and the last location closed last year. Passez une belle journée aujourd'hui! ~Be Blessed

[@jnlaf]

The parrot head thing really depends ..I been to some of Jimmy's concerts were A LOT of people had them on.(mostly at night and a lot of drinks and having a great time) So have fun with yours..

Jimmy Buffett Lyrics "Cheeseburger In Paradise" Tried to amend my carnivorous habits Made it nearly seventy days Losin' weight without speed Eatin' sunflower seeds Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams Some kind of sensuous treat Not zucchini, fettuccini, or bulgur wheat But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat Cheeseburger in paradise Heaven on earth with an onion slice Not too particular, not too precise I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise Heard about the old-time sailor men They eat the same thing again and again "Warm beer and bread," they say, "could raise the dead" Well, it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn But times have changed for sailors these days When I'm in port I get what I need Not just Havanas or bananas, or daiquiris But that American creation on which I feed Cheeseburger in paradise Medium rare with Muenster'd be nice Heaven on Earth with an onion slice I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise I like mine with lettuce and tomato Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer Well, good god almighty, which way do I steer... ...for my cheeseburger in paradise? Makin' the best of every virtue and vice Worth every damn bit of sacrifice To get a cheeseburger in paradise To be a cheeseburger in paradise I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise I like mine with lettuce and tomato Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer Well, good god almighty, which way do I steer?

He grew up in Mobile, Alabama, which began as a French settlement, and he performed in bars in New Orleans, also a French settlement.

[@kurtsaxton9665]

He was born in pascagoula Mississippi, and attended college at southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. I used to cut his aunt's yard in Gulfport Mississippi.

While I never attended a concert outdoors by the ocean, back in the late seventies I went to two at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, NJ. Convention Hall sits on the ocean side of the Boardwalk, at high tide the Atlantic actually flows under the building. Prior to the show starting you could hear the waves outside.

Great job with your reaction to Cheese Burger in Paradise from Jimmy Buffet . Cool parrot hat and cool Tshirt . The one My hoping you do is my favorite song Pirate Looks at 40 .

Well , miss parrot head , you are now qualified to come and visit the Florida Keys. I m sure you will have thoroughly fantastic time what with the beautiful blue waters, great food, and music, and the ambience of The whole area. There is also great snorkeling should you choose to do that. You were absolutely right about the heat in regards the wearing of the hats. It is hot down there. When you come bring suntan lotion. I really hope you can come and visit this incredible one in the world place. Once again , loved your video. Great job!!! 😎👍👍👍👍

Say it any damm way you want, it’s awesome and easily understandable. Peace, love, and bell bottoms.

[@WoncoTheSane]

You got it right the first time! "Pear-et-head." I have a modest suggestion for Buffett reactions: react to lyrics videos from his studio albums rather than live 60+ years old Jimmy. I can't understand him either, lol. (wont pretend I have any understanding of what you go through as a reactor dealing with copyright or related issues, and I'm sorry if my suggestion sounds presumptuous) Anyway, your understanding of the parrot-head subculture and it's rabid fans is obvious and very endearing. Your reactions are amazing and fun and I will keep watching no matter what. THANK YOU for all your hard work!

[@malteins]

For me, you are the prettiest French Fry, don't even need ketchup :) I like your reactions a lot, very good content, but I mostly like your spirit. I'm glad you found your significant other and wish you guys the best :) I wish and hope I can meet you in another life-time :D

[@richardguanci9604]

I need that hat.

[@wilshade]

Jimmy Buffett's music is all about a slow and easy, take tie to enjoy life, Caribbean lifestyle. You don't have to read anything into the lyrics of his songs. It's much better, and more fun, to take them at face value. He has even written a novel, ?Where is Joe Merchant?" that embraces that same lifestyle.

[@ericjahoda2997]

Actually he's written several books. They're all good, too!

I was at that concert! This was a benefit concert after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It was a really fun day, but we kind of had mixed emotions. It was such a huge natural disaster. I live nearby in Mobile, so I’ve spent a lot of time on those beaches throughout my life. It was devastating seeing the tar balls washing up on the beach and the oil sheen out on the water.

[@carllance8062]

Great reaction 👍 probably my favorite Buffet song. Glad to see you enjoyed it. You are close regarding the lyrics. It's actually about a man trying to stop eating a lot of meat and eat healthy. He's having fantasies about having a cheeseburger.

There are a few parrot heads in the crowd, just look for the red tops.

I’m 72 and take umbrage at parrotheads being young! My first concert was Jimmy Buffett I was already a mom. He was in concert in Peoria Illinois. Sat and performed as he had a broken leg! My favorite song of his is Pirate looks at Forty. He has written several books one of which is titled the same as the above song.

People should have started you with Margaritaville because that was his most popular song. The concert you showed was Gulf Shores Alabama, only 2000 attended due to the storm and the recovery efforts and it was broadcast on CMT.

[@shanegrice5172]

This song is a bit whimsical and that makes it a bit hard to understand. But it is still a fun song with great singing and music. Fun reaction, love the parrot head 😁✌️😎

[@lanes8237]

Jimmy ad-libs in a lot of his live concerts so you sort of have to know that. He makes rhymes that are not necessarily the actual lyrics. His backup singers always sing the real lyrics. It's hard to tell if you're not a native English speaker so don't be frustrated. You'll get it! Welcome to the ParrotHead family!

[@teddtarr]

Your new chapeau has a very definite "phrygian" (liberty cap) look to it. I believe they were popular over your way during that "big party/festival" that lasted 10 years, & started in 1789. In any case, it looks great on you (but then, what doesn't?) Cheers !

fun fun song, another one is The Weather Is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful

[@ad9aggie]

I love this one, it is so funny!

[@armadillotoe]

Now I want a cheeseburger! He has some more serious songs like "He Went to Paris or A Pirate Looks at 40."

[@magform]

Nothing like live music. Been to concerts of 50 people, local band, to some with 50,000 plus people. Example: Chicago and the Beach Boys or Santana and the Doobie Brothers. Texas is slightly larger than France, but I'm sure there must be talented artists there who draw in those type of crowds, not just futbol matches. ZZ Topp will draw a crowd that size easily in Texas, as will professional football and baseball games. I know of college football games drawing 100,000 plus people, though I have never been to one with more than 70,000. So many types of "burgers" here, from Burger King to Whataburger. Cheeseburgers to your heart's desire. Hope you can visit soon.

[@michaelmacdermott6340]

Hey French Fry the song is about something Jimmy actually experienced. His alternate love other than music is sailing. He loves to sail the Caribbean (where my parents met him once on their sailboat). He had been out to sea around Puerto Rico in rough weather and had some damage to his sailboat that caused him to barley make it to a marina. While they were slowly limping the damaged boat back to shore, which took a long time, the ice box no longer worked to keep food cold so they were forced to eat only canned food and peanut butter. During this long time of trying to get to shore and eating badly all he could do is think about a hot juicy cheeseburger. They finally made it to shore and asked a restaurant owner to make them a cheeseburger, describing how they wanted them. However they ended up eating terrible overcooked horsemeat third world burgers instead, but we're very grateful anyways. The birth of a song came next.

Malcolm, if you ever attend a Jimmy Buffet concert you'll see that gina marandino is absolutely right. People really do wear parrot hats.

Sorry, but you’re incorrect. I’ve been to several concerts and the tailgate parties are loaded with parrot head and shark fin hats! The Annual JB concert at Jones Beach has 15,000 at concert, but 80,000 tailgaters. Marie’s subscribers would NEVER do anything to embarrass her !!!
