Jimmy Buffett: Beach House on the Moon

The song "Math Suks" caused a brief media frenzy over Jimmy Buffett's seeming disdain for math education.

I'm so confused by "Last Mango in Paris" -- is there anything more to it than just mango instead of tango and for some reason unrelated to the album title the mango is a grenade? And why does he have a mango grenade on a date?

the very best thing about Last Mango In Paris is the sunglass-modified sunburn that Buffett has acquired on his Parisian vacation.

Greg "Fingers" Taylor - harmonicaI remember somebody I knew was going on tour playing bass in this guy’s band and it was supposedly kind of a big deal. Come to think of it there was another person from that place and time who lived in the same apartment complex and recorded with Sonny Fortune. /Idontknowwheretopostetc

The song "Last Mango in Paris" literally ends with him reading the words of the chorus off a bathroom wall.
Seems like he was trying to write a Warren Zevon song or something:
I had a third world girl in BuziosWith a pistol in each handShe always kept me coveredAs we moved from land to land
I had a damn good run on Wall StreetWith my high fashion model wifeI woke up dry beneath the African skyJust me and my Swiss Army knife
I ate the last mango in ParisTook the last plane out of SaigonTook the first fast boat to ChinaAnd Jimmy there's still so much to be done

I had a college housemate who loved, somewhat looked like, and seemed to model his persona on Jimmy Buffet. I couldn't help but like the guy.

This cover art concept is great (if you get the reference); and the track list looks terrific: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Whole-Burbank-Catalog/master/321050What’s the final song?!

Warner was cool, man
Also found on some were humorous, bizarre interstitial audio material—clips from old records and movies, short skits, found sound, etc.--and most albums featured clever, humorous cover art and liner notes. Most of the 1970s albums were compiled and annotated by Barry Hansen, better known as Dr. Demento.

xpost I assume that's named for a cover of the Beatles song, which I admit is a pretty lame way to title your album. Looking them up, they apparently have one named.... "A Taste of Plumm."

not exactly a private press but on a tiny independent that only had about twenty releases. there was a follow up to that album, perhaps inevitably called 'Touch Me Again'...
