proxy of GazWOS, but I think it's a swell, clever cover version.

for some reason, it reminds me of Jimmy Buffet.

agreed, obviously, and this was one of those songs my 7th grade music teacher had us singing in class, so it's indellibly stamped in my memory.

LOL, mime vibe!  I'm gonna use that!  

yeah, if a mime was feeling sad and could sing, it would sound like Terry Jacks.

I saw Die Hard 3 while living in Taiwan, so it was in English with Chinese subtitles.  At one point McClain (Bruce W.) & Zeus (Samuel J.) are in a commandeered taxi cutting across Central Park fields, sidewalks, picnic areas, etc.

Zeus (very agitated after yet another near miss):  Are you TRYING to hit these people!?!?

McClain:  NO!   ...well maybe that mime.

I burst out laughing at the mime joke, for about half a second, because I was the only one in the theater who got it.  Guess mime humor gets lost in the translation.

Shakes The Clown, the "Citizen Kane of Alcoholic Clown Movies" features a subplot (of sorts) that involves mime bashing by phobic rodeo clowns.  I laughed at first, until I realized I was shocked at the portrayal of the insipid mimes and their intended link to gays.

despite that major flaw -- and, let's be honest, many others in the movie -- I laughed out loud several times.  Esp at Florence Henderson and LaWanda Page.
