Zep & Eagles promised.

And I am NOT pleased to be back at work. :wink:

Dude, I hope you're feeling better.

Dumb question about "Fins": I would have assumed it's set in Florida, since 98% of Buffett's life is set there, but would it have taken 3 days to get there from Cincy by train?  Or did she go to San Diego instead?

"Fins" to the left, Gaz's WOS to the right...

I always called this one "Sharkburger in paradise".

and I still don't know what a "remora" is...

I don't recognize this "Yesterday was a good day" song, but I was *convinced* from the opening that it was an errant playing of Counting Crows' "Mrs. Potter's Lullaby."

A remora is a sucker fish, they follow sharks around and latch onto them, removing parasites.  As I recall.

Wow, Buffett coulda used one to remove Kenny Chesney.

Who's singing "No Time to Lose" here?  I'm not up on my classic rock.  But I wish the art of male harmony vocals hadn't died such an utter death.  The only rock band that bothers at all with group harmonies any more is Fall Out Boy.  They do it surprisingly well -- or, at the very least, their producers do -- but I wish they weren't the only ones.

I'll refrain from any "what Kenny Chesney likes to suck" jokes.

BOS Tarney-Spencer Band, "No Time, Toulouse."

VHM Santana. Which obscure '60s R&B act did they steal this one from? :wink:

Eww.  WOS to yet another song I don't recognize (am I in some classic-rock parallel universe), "All I Ever Wanted"?  The guitar riff sounds way too much like the "Fins" we just heard.  I'd guess 38 Special if I were a bettin' man.

Wow, if Bob were playing Jeopardy and the category was "Songs That Do Nothing For Gaz," he'd've run the table.

Usually Carlos can whip out a tasty guitar solo to mitigate the otherwise mundane.  Not so much in "All I Ever Wanted."

HM, ZZ Top.  Not a big fan but this one is okay...

Still waiting for someone to break out "I'm Gonna Crawl."  Maybe I should email Bob.

Had to take the kids to school so missed the first half.  BOS for Tarney-Spencer & Zep, plus I'm holding out hope that tune #10 will be above average.

Fins may be my least favorite Buffett song, if not it's either Cheeboogie or Boat Drinks.

Bob mentioning that "All My Love" comes off of ITTOD reminds me of something I saw the other day on ESPN News during a rain delay.  

For some reason they were interviewing Darius "Hootie" Rucker.  I think the tie in was that he was participatiing in or hosting a charity golf event.  Anyway, the interviewer mentions that Mr Blowfish had done a cover of "Hey Hey, What Can I Do?" some time back (on Economium, the LZ tribute album, a pretty awful rendition, IMO).  Hootie says yes, then is asked "What's your favorite LZ song?"  He thinks for a while and comes up with "D'yer Mak'r."  The interviewer laughs and says "Physical Graffiti, right?"  Rucker says "Right."

And I say wrong.  This is why the interviewer guy is still on ESPN News and not hosting SportsCenter, and why Hootie is on ESPN News in a vain effort to promote the new Blowfish album.  Not quite hip enough.

Dressing as a cowboy in that Burger King commercial didn't help either.

Did he at least pronounce the song title right?

PS: Hootie & the Blowfish did an unexpectedly good cover of Orpheus's "Can't Find the Time" on the Me, Myself & Irene soundtrack, otherwise largely composed of misfired Steely Dan covers for some unknown reason.

Wow, I can totally imagine him singing that (and doing it justice).  Excellent matchup of singer & song.

Yes.  Some frink points there, I guess.
