    It's a recent thing. They picked it up from the fans.

    Sadly, it's not too recent. Every time Radio Margaritaville has a concert replay (the library seems to go back 11 years or so), the backup singers do that.

    Not to get all spnited on it, but since my first show was 1983 so 10 or 11 years is "recent" in Buffett years to me. ;D

    The writer needs to take another listen to the lyrics. It is NOT about having sex in a car. It's about lots of kissing and heavy petting in car. But when it comes to actually engaging in sexual intercourse, she says "Stop right there. I need to know right now.... " (and we all know the rest of the lyrics leading up to the "let me sleep on it"
    The "praying for the end of time part" indicates the act took place, but everything up until then is the make-out and the begging to go through with it.
     
  6. Naming some of these songs and not The Electric Slide or that other song that goes "clap, clap, clap, clap ... slide to your left, slide to your right" is a crime.

    Those songs should not be retired, they must be exterminated. And thank God the Macarena is all but dead.

    That list is 84 kinds of awesome.

    Of the many lines that cracked me up, this was my favorite:

    Followed closely by "Anything by the Beatles."

    Same year for me as well.

    But that's one of the reasons I dislike that song.

    "Can't ya see I'm easily bothered by persistence, (BYH joins in) one step from lashing out at you ...

    Be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me!"
