Title changed from "why not" to "Ideas for" to help clarify the point of thread. Thanks, I'm sure a manatee somewhere appreciates it.

Jimmy Buffett is an amazing artist FAR beyond margaritaville...

He has dozens and dozens of albums (like 40! Thats right....EVERYBODY knows a couple songs....but he has almost 40!!!!).

I know Margaritaville is probably way too expensive a licence...and this was touched on mildly in a thread a few years ago. BUT, I would LOVE to hear people's ideas for a Buffett pinball!!

And not just A title songs....I love it all...lets here some B side title (or less!) Ideas to put into a pinball

Some gypsies in the palace...This Hotel room (I know that one was a cover)...captain america....many more.

But would love to include things like we are the people...barefoot children...fruitcakes, etc (of course ANYTHING on songs you know by heart). Ok, everyone gets the point....JB is the man...there are other many great Calypso/steel drum bands as well!

He is so much more about the mindset of relaxing more than even the music.

Ohh, and absolutely have to incorporate Pirate looks at 40...´for anyone that may be comin around that bend of life´..."my occupational hazzard being my occupation's just not around"...seems to hit home for this pinball coin op tech geek

Sooo....what have you got? Obviously pin would have to have a blender, lost shaker of salt, a cheeseburger, a sea plane, and a land shark

But what kind of modes or shots etc??

"Magic fingers make you feel alright"
-This Hotel Room.

I WISH Stern could get a title like JB!...but man, what an AWESOME machine JJP could do with the theme!

Well...find a different song...roughly 1 or 2 others out there....Maybe fruitcake vomit!?

I liked the bubble in my head of awesome videos etc on a JJP, but not going to lie....Charlie was the first person that popped in my head! If they did it, I would be honored to drive over there to do a little "volunteer work".
While I understand those guys are a smaller boutique, man do I love their ideas and what they do!

In the last several years, he has made or been a part of many very big songs....when was the last super hit Kiss put out? Not that Kiss hasn't had a lot and certainly more well known. There are definitely younger and older generations that know both.

I did not "answer my own question". What I meant was he has quite a few big songs that a LOT of people know (plenty for a pinball), a TON of lesser known good music, and a couple songs EVERYBODY knows; Didn't mean nobody knows any other songs.

If I chat with someone about music and all the Buffett that is referenced is about a margaritas or a cheesburger, then I know they are probably not into his music that much.

I honestly believe both bands have plenty to offer music wise for a machine. Toys and modes for a Buffet pin....man there is a lot to work with there.

God's Own Drunk

'stepped on a pop top; broke my leg twice, had to limp on back home'

Jimmy as well as the Parrot heads do a lot of various charity work and have raised millions for great causes. Good people.

I just wish my metabolic rate would get pleasantly stuck already

Somewhere on the backglass art ot would have to have a seaplane, a parrot, a margarita, and many other icons....and definitely also a postcard with "the weather is here..." on it

Pretty beat up, but in fairness its been on back of my jeep for nearly 20 years...

With the top off and some jimmy playing when you pull in it's always a party!

-throw all your cares away; it's a rag, top day.

WTF was that stupid ass crap?

I have to be honest, when I started this thread, I was having a few and feeling good vibes and expecting this to be a thread about more good vibes, good music, and fun...maybe I should have titled it differently and explained that I wasnt looking for pissy people to debate the theme/topic.

I inteded this thread to just be a fun chill kind of thing where people could have a good time talking about fun things to put into a semi specific pinball theme.

You dont like it, cool; more power to you. Go enjoy a thread about something you like instead.

The topic wasnt supposed to be do you like Buffett, or should someone make it...
I guess my title didnt come across correctly....
I didn't mean "why shouldn't they". But more like "HEY!, what an incredibly universal happy chill theme, why not" with the hopes of hearing fun ideas, toys,modes, etc.......

But all good I guess, everybody has to have an opinion....

I have never gone in a kiss or other band thread that was about people enjoying that music and been a negative ass, but to each his own; maybe I should have.

Anyway...

Another Saturday night and I ain't got no body. Got some money cuz I just got paid....how I wish I had someone to talk to; I'm in an awful way.

Thanks man....been in high stress mode a lot lately...didnt mean to complain about people's opinions...

I really did just want some good vibes out of this, though.

Got my tin cup for a chalice goin tonite and it's all good

To be honest...there is only ONE Jimmy, but I do like a fair chunk of the covers on there...

If you look at Buffett over the years, him and the coral reefers have played with MANY other artists over the years, but it's amazing that he has only been teamed up with "main stream" people in the last handful of years..

Now then, 'would you beam me somewhere Mr. Scott...any old place, here on earth or in space....you pick the century and I'll pick the spot!'

Hey now! Remember...It's a love song! From a slightly different point of view...

Lmao...love the 5 o clock 5 ball!!

And it's been a lovely cruise!

Now there's some good early stuff

Fixed title topic to better match title description.

I could TOTALLY see Gary dressed up in gear being a parrot head at a show

A little nudging referral ?

"Dont try to shake it, just nod your head. Breath in, breath out, move on"

Maybe good for a tilt too

A Pirate Looks at Pinball

If it had a gobble hole would it be a cheeseburger shot?

Or maybe if no gobble hole, a VUK where you sink or lock a ball(s) into a shark mouth...maybe using an upper playfield set of fin flippers

Working in garage so decided to use youtube app ad my radio. Typed in jimmy buffett playlist and first one I saw had 387 tracks!!!!

Guessing there are a couple fans still out there

At least one of them must be into pinball

Ok...how about extra points for going to college and learning how to score!

It's my shot. I'll be better than the rest...and that makes the game for me!

Feelin all alone on here...there HAS to be more parrot heads lurking in here!?

"Better watch my step, if the floor caves in, I'll go right straight to hell...there were pinball machines and....."

See, EVEN JB likes pinball!!!

That's awesome! While not a youngster anymore, I'm too young to have ever been able to experience early stuff...that would have been so cool to see him in his early days...love song and all

Glad to hear that another generation knows the classics as well

Thanks for sharing!

Just a tad off on that statement you think?
Even if that were true, who cares. People constantly talk about other bands that haven't done anything at all in decades...and he is still making music and enjoying many song conglomerations with many popular bands.

Not worth even getting into though. Your welcome to your opinions.

But hey, thanks for pursuing bad vibes for no reason on here. Deja Deja Deja Vu....

Him, on his own...not 200 chart but 100 chart, yes...it's been a long time for a single song of his own to make main stream pop top 100. Not 40 years...and not for an overall album, and yes with others it has been within last couple years...

Your trying to make some trivial point to bring yourself up at the expense of other mellow people trying to enjoy their own thing. Your facts are exaggerated and pointless and I fail to see why you care.

Feel free to drain this topic.

How about a "Great Filling Station Jackpot"!

Have to collect 15 dollars, a can of STP, big ol jar of cashew nuts, and a Japanese TV!

Probably all just part of the great peanut butter conspiracy...

See, reverend Jimmy saved you almost 18 years ago!

Whether it is your thing or not; To those of you that have supported my thread so far with your good vibes...

Thank you, happy Friday...and looking foward to Another Saturday Night!

Cheers!...

GOSH! Don't ANY of those people understand that Jimmy Buffett isnt popular!????

Lol.

That is really cool though! Hopefully there will be some YouTube videos or something soon...would love to check it out!

And every room should be playing....

On a different note, I have been wanting to do a retheme for a long time....if anyone in my general area has a trashed but complete em that would be a good candidate, for a retheme...please let me know...maybe I can start my own one off EM Buffet game for now.....

Always liked single player pins (williams especially), but unsure exactly want I want to use. Not a high priority project at the moment, but figured maybe I would mention it.

Cant promise anything will happen too quick, but promise I will post my work

This post can't help but put "it's my job" into my head all day

Kick it in, Second Wind - ball save

If JJP did it, it would have some sort of data communication....so.....I assume you could hear it on the coconut telegraph!

Then we would know who scored this or that!

It's five O'clock Pinball!

It's usually some woman's fault!
JK
Happy mothers day to so many important people that have brought us Little Miss Magic

I know not everyone is a parrot head, but there are SOOO many, that I'm unbelievably suprised this thread hasnt taken off :/

I have plans on at least doing a retheme for myself at this point....so, if anybody in the area has a pin with trashed playfield/backglass to part with, please let me know

Pretty much any era is cool with me. An EM makes it easy, but I'm happy with any project for this....I actually have a very personal interest in this now :/

'You got flips to the left, flips to the right...And it's the only pinball in town'

Doesnt rhyme well I know....was going to say ball in town....but trying to be remotely clever. Lol

Spent the afternoon doin yard work and using the blender...I realized I'll have more to do tmw and the MRS promised me help, though I know it won't happen....... and couldn't keep this funny little thing out of my head.....

Please don't say manana if you don't mean it....

'don't try to describe a kiss pinball if you never played it'....well, it went something like that

Fins up friends!

'women into pinball are in short supply; there's not enough scores for us all to have high....'

Ok, ok....Maybe I had 2 more boat drinks....

An extra +1 for spooky idea. I bet they would have a blast with it

STILL, I just simply CAN NOT believe this thread died....dude sells out like CRAZY, has unbelievable marketing skills, INSANE number of Parrot Heads!....how can it not at least have a marketable interest as a Pinball!!!!????

We are the people our parents warned us about!!

"...Better watch my step if the floor caves in
I'll go right straight to hell
There were pinball machines and cajun queens
Men with knives and scars..."

See, even Jimmy likes pinball!

Had a few margaritas a couple weeks ago and got the drunk balls to contact corporate J.B......sadly, NO response...as expected

Family just back from this CRAZY busy place called the Keys....some guy named Jimmy seemed to be a part of EVERYTHING!! Anybody ever heard of this guy????

For any parrot heads out there - saw this article today. Pretty cool to see Jimmy is working on some cool revisits during covid.

Can't wait to see what all he does!

Going to make me a cheeseburger now. . .

Enjoy

Those cheeseburgers are ready...let's serve em up!

I know I know....there's some hotdogs mixed in there...but even Jimmy's best places for a burger list includes one Chicago Dog

That's it, no cheeseburger for you!

Anyway....
