  • My right speaker feels left out :(

  • His concerts look like they would be so much fun to go to.

  • Sam Cooke was the original with this song. Just didn't get the air time. Great song. Look how many covered.

  • The other versions of this song are quality, but this is easily my favorite. It fits Buffett's usual sound/style/demeanor FLAWLESSLY.

  • Is it bad I listen to this EVERY Saturday night?

  • This is weird I don't lik this music

  • Awesome, love it.

  • Sam Cooke should rise from his grave and beat this hack senseless with a tube sock full of wood screws for ruining this song..

  • JImmy buffet is a violent rapist & evil bully- see cathy obrien book- hes political exploiter & his song words are often put down women to be used as sex slaves with no feelings

  • @lmollot If you're going to put down a legend at least do it with some grammar. It might help your credibility, just saying.

  • mono sucks, record it in stereo, don't insult Jimmy

  • Sam Cooke wrote the song and recorded it, Cat Stevens did a fantastic cover of it in the mid 70s, here Jimmy Buffett does it great justice too.

    Who does it best?, they all do it great justice, great song :)

  • INSIDE MARGARITAVILLE RESTURANT KEY WEST

  • Sorry Jimmy, but I like Cat's version better. I like yours second though. He is just cuter. I am so shallow.

  • soft tempo

  • i haven't heard this version of this song since i was about 6 years old, i just heard sam cooke's version for the first time, it sounded familiar, i saw this in the related vids and feel like i'm a little kid in the back seat of my parents' car with my brother driving to a soccer game

  • jimmy buffettt is a legend !

  • Why do all of the remakes sound better when Jimmy does theme?" Cause, he is the MAN!

  • @newtybug He knows what we want.

  • And I ain't got nobody!

  • sam wrote it so yeah he sang it first

  • Saturday nights are very loney here,Sunday mornings as well.

  • CAT

  • SAM COOKE

  • cat stevens

  • no man it's Sam Cooke

  • damn straight

  • I've heard this before. Who is the original artist?

  • Sam Cooke

  • @TankedPyrat Cat Stevens

  • @MissTeacakes

    The original artist?

  • @TankedPyrat Sam Cooke actually, before Stevens

  • @tOFFjEPP Yeah, I know, a few people don't seem to though. Ha ha ha

  • @tOFFjEPP

    Cat Stevens wrote it and later recorded it.

  • @floridaze75 dude cat stevens didnt write it. Sam cooke did it long before cat stevens bruh

  • @TayDylWad

    you're right ... my bad.

  • @MissTeacakes Sam cooke is the original but Cat stevens did it 2

  • @MissTeacakes

    sam cooke born in 1931 he made the song

  • @MissTeacakes Sam Cooke, not Cat.

  • Sam Cooke

  • @RobertGary1 You might check out Cat Stevens' version too!

  • @RobertGary1

    Let's be 100% honest...Jimmy buffet is barely an AVERAGE singer.

    but if there is a better PURE ENTERTAINER playing stages anywhere, I challenge you to name them...

    there is more to being a great "star" than pure singing talent.

    Jimmy Rocks.

  • @JDean1967 hes an amazing singer, why do u find it average?

  • @RobertGary1 Yeah it was Sam Cooke first

  • @RobertGary1 Sam Cooke .

  • shit might as well call the pizza dude

  • Don't forget da Buds!

  • Thanks for posting!

  • Jimmy is Awesome singer... so was Sam and I am proud to be a fan :)

  • Yeah. I think I was really at this .Sho nuf. Concert.

    Starwood.I remember the guy twirling the "shark" around. I started a naked conga line.Twice.I'm on the cover of one of the live ones, directly behind Buffett.Got his autograph from his hairdresser. Well, nothing to brag about. Had a chance to be somebody. Dude, where's my pizza.?

  • Another song that shows another nice cover from JB. From Rodney Crowell to Keith Sykes to Steve Goodman Jimmy does some onderful covers

  • Jimmy does a good job on this song.

  • Great Song!!!

  • *****

  • this songs kix ass, its not too slow, maybe youre just used to the crappy original...just kidding the original kix butt too

  • Oh please the original is way better than this. Sam Cooke's version is a classic and Sam is probably the best singer of all time.

  • dude where do you get these videos from?

  • it seems like the ones that are played from his margaritaville cafes around the country, but theyr'e always packed with people so its probably hard to tape

  • Sam Cooke's (the original) is best, but Jimmy's version is a very close second place. But who the h*ll are the Idols?

  • You have GOT to be kidding me! The IDOLS??? How old are you, 12? The "IDOLS" can't hold a candle to Jimmy or any other established artist. Oh, and for the record, listen to the original version of this song...done by Sam Cooke in 1963. It's uncomparable.
