Burns me how the parrotheads turned Margaritaville into a 'party song' when it's really an anti-party song about a pathetic drunken loser. Otis' tune has at least held it's meaning.
BTW, Mr. Buffett had his first margarita in Austin, and wrote the song here while staying with a friend. True story.

Play this and other Otis. He does have more to offer, but this is still one of the highest rated songs I've seen on RP. |

Steve Cropper sure could write 'em. Or co-write 'em, in this case.

Before it even starts, it gets a ten. Once he begins to sing, it goes off the charts. Godlike indeed.
Helps that it's a true story too.

This has to be one of the all-time most commercialized, overplayed songs ever.

Otis Redding - (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay
Jimmy Cliff - Sitting In Limbo
Undoubtedly to be followed up by "Sit on My Face and Tell Me That You Love Me" - Monty Python  |
