And the king of all Sir Duke \/ And with a voice like Ella\u2019s ringing out \/ There\u2019s no way the band can lose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMargaritaville\u201d by Jimmy Buffett<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMargaritaville\u201d is on Jimmy Buffett\u2019s Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes record.

It is one of his most successful songs, a tropical country rock jam for the ages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMargaritaville\u201d says, \u201cWastin\u2019 away again in Margaritaville \/ Searchin\u2019 for my lost shaker of salt \/ Some people claim that there\u2019s a woman to blame \/ But I know it\u2019s nobody\u2019s fault.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHotel California\u201d by the Eagles<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s pretty remarkable that most 70s kids can sing the Eagles\u2019\u00a0 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/49-years-ago-today-the-eagles-took-hotel-california-to-no-1-and-cemented-one-of-rocks-greatest-songs-ever\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hotel California<\/a>\u201d by heart, since it is more than six and a half minutes long.
