I always thought that it should be 'Buffett' in that line too but I've
listened to it too many times and it just doesnt't sound like that.
It sounds like 'Bubba' to me.

As for movies with Buffett soundtracks:

	Arachnophobia
	????  (There are shitloads more)

Movies that NEEDED a buffett soundtrack:
	Wind
	
First Buffett song?
Sorry heard him as long as I listened to the radio.   When I was little my
parents listened to the country stations and I heard him then... Didn't know
who he was until 5-6 years ago...

Its definitely Bubba, which I believe is a nickname of JB (and is mentioned
in another song but I can't remeber which one - Livingston Saturday Night?)

I always though the Gypsies were saying
 "We'll party just like Buffett does"
It also goes better with the next line and other
lines where they play his music loud, etc.

In "Fins, on Feeding Frenzy!" it is asked what JB saw when he says
"I think I saw something".  I was not at that particular show but
on that tour I seem to remember inflatable sharks appearing from
various places on the stage such as from behind speakers and
backstage. I may be wrong but I think this is what he was refering
to. The sharks appeared at the very beginning of the song which
would be about the time Jimmy was making the comment.

                         I hope this helps,

On "Feeding Frenzy", in the second verse, after the line "saving up
most of her money", Jimmy yells "I thought I saw something!".

Anyone know why?

Best I can figure is that he was telling the security crew that he saw
someone doing something in the crowd, or something...

Any ideas?  Anyone actually happen to be there, and near enough to see
what he was talking about?  (It was recorded in Cinncinnati on August
7 or 8, 1990.)

On another thread...  does Jimmy have a concert VIDEO?  I have yet to
see one in stores, but would love to have one.  Ooh, better yet -- you
know the Rolling Stones concert filmed in IMAX which is making the
rounds?  Jimmy should do one of them...

For me, it was the fall of 1978 while rushing fraternities at the University
of New Hampshire. I walked into one (Sigma Alpha Epsilon) and heard Buffett
blasting from every room (I didn't know who this was at the time). It did
not take me long to figure out that the was the fraternity for me and
the rest is history...

the grateful dead have their deadheads who seem to make a living somehow,
by following them from concert to concert.  is there anybody who has 
ever followed jb during the concert season?  also, what makes atlanta and 
cincinnatti such hotbeds of buffettmania.  he always seems to play 3 or 4
days in these cities.

i think a while back somebody stated that jb was searching for any lost 
relatives.  is warren buffett related?  also, i think there is an 
artist with the buffett last name.

has anybody ever seen the movie "rancho deluxe"?

Could someone please correct the lyrics to Steamer?  I loved it when I 
first heard it on "Somewhere over China" and it sounds even better on 
BBB&B (that's because I graduated from tape to cd), but there are some 
words I simply cannot understand:

I remember that steamer
the time you set sail
The crowd was steaming (?) and streaming and 
leaning on the rail.
The the big whistle blew
and I lost my place
and the next thing I knew
I could not find your face.

I can see myself ??????
The time you came home
Your face was beaming and seeming
to stand out alone.
And the dinner bell chimed
and I found my seat.
Your eyes  met mine 
and your smile was so sweet.

I remember that ?????
The first time we made love.
Oh I still kind of shiver a little 
at what I'm thinking of.
How your dress it just floated
all down around your knees
and I held my breath, 
My God, my girl, 
cause I could not believe.

Most of all its that steamer
the time you set sail
and the crowds always steaming and streaming
and leaning on the rail.
Then the big whistle blows
and I always lose my place
and the next thing I know
I cannot find your face.

jb did the music for the movie and also appeared in a bar scene.

Maybe this is picky, but if I recall correctly (and it is late at night and
I don't have my guitar handy), but I believe that this starts off (chords)
A D E.
I play be ear, and when something is in the wrong key it really irks me. 
Buffett is too easy to play to mess up like this.  No offense, you don't
see me posting songs, I admit, but simply for the sake of clarity.

I've spent some time in Aruba.  At this point I figure on 24 hours or

Ah for me it was the summer of 1976 and Carol Madeley who
taught me the joys of a White Sportscoat and a Pink Crustacean,
Marvin Gardens, et al.
