This is the "Worst Persons" segment from Friday in which K.O. comments on the forced resignation of Dave Weigel from The Washington Post because he didn't suck up to the conservatives he reported on with fairness and accuracy, to say nothing of kissing Matt Drudge's ass...
...and kudos to Jimmy Buffett for this; I basically like his music, though I never got into the whole "parrot head" thing, which to me is an excuse for a bunch of white-collar conservatives to parade around in garish costumes and wear Hawaiian shirts and get thoroughly loaded at his concerts.
This tune is definitely my favorite from him, and he appeared on "Letterman" a few years ago and talked about it. Basically, it took the form of a phone conversation between him and his eventual wife about how he was about to get dropped from his record label for poor sales (kind of like the way Columbia was ready to drop Bruce Springsteen before he cut a little album called "Born to Run"). He said he'd give it one more try with this song and see what happened; I believe it went platinum, and the rest, as they say, is music history.
