Words That Do Not Belong In Country Songs, Part III
Jimmy Buffett, as in "
It's Five O'Clock Somewhere":
At a moment like this, I can't help but wonder,
What would Jimmy Buffett do?
Alan Jackson committed this particular travesty. For the love of Pete, Jackson, do you see Hank Williams or Willie Nelson or Merle Haggard or Waylon Jennings or Johhny Cash drinking freaking
hurricanes? You're treading a fine line here trying to work into some beach cowboy territory. I know the kids are all into it these days, but come on. A country duet that involves Jimmy Buffett? What's next, the Wiggles?
Exception to the Rule: You may refer to a
Jimmy buffet if you're eating in the back of your old
GMC SUV.
