History Music / JimmyBuffett

Buffett was not shy about his fame, either. He made cameos in everything from ''Film/JurassicWorld'' to ''Film/RepoMan'' to ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark.'' He also lent his weight to several charities, most notably the Save the Manatee Club (which is very active in Florida), and also raised money for hurricane relief charities.

* TheCameo: He's had many, including as a pirate in ''Film/{{Hook}}'', {{as himself}} in ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', as a Margaritaville patron in ''Film/JurassicWorld'', and as a teacher in ''Film/{{Hoot}}''.

Two of his novels, ''Tales from Margaritaville,'' and ''Where is Joe Merchant?'' topped the New York Times bestseller list. His non-fiction memoir ''A Pirate Looks At Fifty'' also occupied a top spot. He's also written another novel titled ''A Salty Piece Of Land,'' several children's books, and is stated to be working on a sequel to his previous memoir.

* ''Equal Strain On All Parts'' (''posthumous'')

* LyricalDissonance: “Margaritaville” is pretty upbeat in tempo and instrumentation, considering its subject matter. The song is about a man spending an entire season at a beach resort community, with three verses that describe his day-to-day activities. However, he has nothing to show for his time except a tattoo of a woman that he cannot remember getting. The three choruses reveal that the narrator is pondering a recently-failed romance, and his friends are telling him that his former girlfriend is at fault. The last line of each shows his shifting attitude toward the situation: first "it's nobody's fault," then "it could be my fault," and finally "it's my own damn fault." So the overall story that the song tells is not hedonist enjoyment of life in the sun, but rather a man's gradual recognition that it was his own foolish actions that destroyed any chance of happiness with the woman he loved, all while sorrowfully [[DrowningMySorrows drowning his sorrows in alcohol]].

* JailbaitTaboo: "15 will get you 20" on a "Livingston Saturday Night." Not one of the Big 10, but his concert scene of it in the mostly forgotten TheLastDJ movie from The Seventies, ''FM'', is one of that picture's highlights. It even made the soundtrack album.
