This is another new song wed like to do for you now. its a, tells the
Story of a lovely cruise ship couple. you know in november, the snowbirds
Start heading south down there, and youve seen them with the matching belt
And shoes, condo commandos, you know. so uh, hey thats good shit. I smell
It, alright, ooh. we better start this song before I get hungry. this is
Called morris nightmare.
Down in the islands where the happy folks stay
Everybody do what bwana jim say
He say its ok, its ok
You can do what you wanna
Do what you like
Twist a big ol number
Ride a motorbike
Its alright, its alright
Dance to the drum
Drink a lot of rum
Love till you come to a stop
Swing like a monkey in a coconut tree
Sing like the dolphins in the deep blue sea
Sing its alright, its alright
-- spoken:
How does fred neil do it? come on jay spell
You know people in the city got nowhere to go
They used to go to bars now they go to discos
No, no, no disco (uh-uh, no)
They never see the sun
They hardly see the moon
They barely see the ground til the snow melts in june
Uptight, its out of sight
So they save a little money
Take a little trip
They only see the islands from a tacky cruise ship
Buy a little liquor
Buy some sea shells
Husband tries to sleep
Wife just yells
Morris, you can sleep when you get home
Down in the islands where the happy folks stay
Everybody do what biwana man say
He say its ok, its ok
Its alright, its alright
Do what you wanna, do what you like
-- spoken:
Morris! oh for christs sake morris, you can sleep when you get home. this
Is supposed to be a vacation you know. we come all the way down to miami. we
Could go someplace nice like seaworld. I would like to go see, tony orlando
Is playing in miami beach. we could do some nice things like that. but no,
What do we do, we have to go down to this goddamn swamp. this is a swamp
Morris. you call this an island? this is a resort? its full of mosquitoes
And bugs and just is terrible morris. are you listening to me?
Bitch, bitch, bitch!

Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023) è stato un cantautore, musicista e scrittore statunitense, noto per il suo stile musicale definito "Parrothead", che fonde elementi di country, folk, rock e calypso. Nato a Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett ha trascorso la sua infanzia in diverse località degli Stati Uniti prima di stabilirsi a Key West, Florida, dove ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '70. Il suo successo è legato a brani come "Margaritaville", "Come Monday" e "Cheeseburger in Paradise", che hanno reso Buffett un'icona della cultura americana, associata a un'atmosfera rilassata e paradisiaca. Oltre alla musica, Buffett ha scritto diversi libri di narrativa e saggistica, tra cui il best-seller "A Pirate Looks at Forty". La sua musica e la sua personalità hanno ispirato una vasta community di fan, i "Parrotheads", che celebrano la vita semplice e l'amore per le vacanze. Buffett è morto nel 2023 all'età di 76 anni.

Do we want to define "I know you know me" a masterpiece? Yes, without a shadow of a doubt for at least two reasons. The first and most evident are the artists who interpret it: Caroline Spence and Matt Berninger, second for the deep and poetic text.
My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
