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!

[@shawnbartz9818]

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.

[@CardiacCat]

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.

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.

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.

The island vibe comes a lot from his choice of instruments. The Steel drums for example.

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.

[@MaddyN999]

“A pirate looks at forty” one of the greatest songs ever written!

[@lynne8346]

Agree completely!

[@jeffmack1601]

Without a doubt

[@thomasstambaugh5181]

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.

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

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.

[@ChaddSullivan]

Hearing the "lost verse" version makes it a lot more obvious. Much harder to spin it as a happy tune

[@1perfectpitch]

Don't over think it. It's a song.

[@GN-jn1ty]

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"

[@robertsmith-oh9mo]

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."

"Blew out my Flip-Flop, stepped on a pop top." ICONIC line from an ICONIC song.

[@Thaumh]

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.

[@kenchristie9214]

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.

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.

[@beachbunnie5413]

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

[@jtoland2333]

Love this song! Also, there are a few restaurants themed after him called Margaritaville. My husband and I discovered one in downtown San Antonio.

Waaay back in the day I was in a bit of a rut and was working at a running shop. Rough times.

[@pmgandco6322]

@@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.

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.”

If you want to go to "Margaritaville" you have to go to The Florida Keys. Jimmy Buffet was born and raised in Mississippi, but moved to Key West as a young man and pretty much never left. He was mostly country until then, but The Keys changed his songwriting to be more island style. Come Monday was his first hit and fueled by The Keys.

[@robertgrimes7401]

Jimmy was raised in Mobile and Fairhope, AL. He went to high school at McGill in Mobile and it’s the Alabama Gulf Coast that inspired his early music prior to his adopting the Keys and that lifestyle.

[@marningritaguy]

He went to Key west after he had been a writer for Billboard and decided to make a go at music. He met Jerry Jeff Walker who told him to come down to Key West with him. Jimmy had already lived in Nashville and been married to his first wife well before this song was written.

I lived on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina back in the early 90s, and I remember my young son and I were kicking around in Harbor town by the beach one evening. We heard music and a voice that was drawing a big crowd. It was Jimmy Buffett! It was so great and unexpected! Talk about an Island vibe! Thanks for this reaction!
