Jimmy Buffett - Somewhere Over China
January 19 1982
Jimmy Buffett
Somewhere Over China
Genre: Singer Songwriter
2.75 out of 5
Requisite 80s cover: “Slow Boat to China”. I wanna be mad that Buffett is reaching back into the Loesser catalog for a lesser cover of a tune but, knowing that Henley would do the same thing with “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat a decade plus later…I can’t fault him. But…the song is best left to the ages, I think.
What is Jimmy Buffett doing here?
I guess the pop of “Margaritaville” was enough to earn him a spot.
I never got the appeal of this guy. I mean, he’s a massive success story, right?
This simple singer songwriter stuff has its place but I don’t wanna spend an afternoon at a festival hosted by Jimmy.
The album is called Somewhere Over China. But he’s standing ON AFRICA! He’s over the wrong fucking continent.
And that annoying grimace.
I think I hate Jimmy Buffett.
Also, he’s barefoot. I hate feet.
And I hate Jimmy Buffett. And I hate Jimmy Buffett’s feet.
Oh my God I’m so bored. When he asks “Where’s the party?” Dude, it’s wherever you ain’t.
