I absolutely love this song but not sure how I feel about the Parrot Head version.
Crosby, Stills, & Nash
Jimmy Buffett

I like both. The song fits Buffet.
Water theme. Island sounding organ. Good backup singers.

CSN version is some of the best harmonies you will find.

Buffet sounds off key in the version you posted.

I feel the world would be better off without Parrot Heads.
CSN is the only answer.

And even better without the a-hole accompanying the three.
Yeah, I said it.

I prefer CSN over Buffett, because I love CSN's harmonies.

While I like Jimmy and he is good at what he does, I'll always prefer that melancholy Stills and Nash version (Crosby's vocals not featured on the album version - something I didn't learn until recently) to Buffett. They got a couple of hacks to help fill in the harmonies, though - Tim Schmit and Art Garfunkel.
And you're really not going to like Weedeater's version.

To be fair, Stills is an a-hole himself.

shite Crosby isn't exactly likable either. Maybe they deserved each other.

Someone once said that if CSN were the Three Stooges, Stills would be Moe.

I think they've all mellowed some in their old age.
Other than Crosby calling Darryl Hannah a skank, that is.
