Test Your Buffett Tune Expertise!
How closely do you listen to the lyrics of some of your favorite Buffett tunes? Are you one of those pholks who hums everything but the chorus? Well, here's where we find out. See how many of the following lines you can match to the song. No fair cheating, now. I'm sure that we'll all feel comfortable within the confines of the honor system. That means you don't Google 'em all and then come out looking like you know Jimmy's songs better than...well, Jimmy.
Some are real easy, others are kinda hard. Hard for most everybody but maybe Cultural Infidel and Wastnawa, anyway. Those dudes know their Jimmy tunes.
I've already created a comment with all of the correct songs, so just jot 'em down, see how you do, and either brag or confess. It's good for the soul. (Ooh! Ooh! I can name that tune, Crime Dog!! It's Grapefruit, Juicy Fruit!)
See? Easy.
Here you go:
1) Planets come and planets go.....
2) For all the sunny skies, it's rainin' in my heart.....
3) You can mess with that mouse in Orlando.....
4) Could you beam me somewhere Mr. Scott?
5) He's a hot Roman candle from the Texas panhandle.....
6) Plowin' straight ahead come what may.....
7) And a string of tiny twinkling lights adorn the sausage tree.....
8) He would pay a tourist fare so he could sit with us.....
9) I stayed up all night and for me that's the first time.....
10)'Cause I love Cajun martinis and playin' afternoon golf.....
11)It's time to close the shutters, it's time to go inside.....
12)'Cause when that bug bites you, you live with the sting.....
13)Imagine all the heartaches and tears in twenty-seven years of beer.....
14)You'll be pushin' up the daisies in some old boneyard.....
15)Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll seem like the easiest answer.....
EXTRA CREDIT: It ain't a Jimmy thing, but the first paragraph of this post contains a line that's a direct quote from a beloved TV comedy series. Can you find the quote and name that show?
