I gotta agree with the "repetition breeds acceptance" dictum. In high school, I had a friend who pretty much exclusively listened to Elvis Costello and Todd Rundgren. At the time, I was like, IF YOU PLAY OLIVER'S ARMY OR A DREAM GOES ON FOREVER ONE MORE TIME, YOU WILL DIE.

Now, of course, I'm a huge fan of both.

And Todd put out With A Twist, on which he redid a bunch of his tunes bossa nova/lounge-style. Todd's gone on record saying how much he loves Martin Denny. Did any one catch his tour for that? It was really cool, kind of a performance art thing. The stage was of a Hawaiian tiki bar (Todd moved there about ten years ago), complete with several table where some audience members got to sit, a functional bar where the bartender/monitor engineer worked and a stage where the band played. They even took a break in between sets and that's when the local support act would perform.

But I digress. And I doubt that Buffett would do anything so cool.
