In fact I think I'll change my "Thrillville" gig to...you guessed it...MARGARITAVILLE, with my co-host MONICA, MARGARITA GODDESS! (Well, she is Mexican.) Nothing says TIKI more than a PURPLE PIT CRUISER blasting "Margaritaville" as it zips around the exotic isle of Alameda at 25 per!!! (ps...just wondering, since you're the expert here...does JB have any OTHER songs?...I mean, this one is an absolute bona fide masterpiece, easily the greatest single piece of music ever created since it says so much about the universal human condition, and in such a timeless fashion, but...I admit, I am bit tired of playing it on a continuous loop while I drive around in drunken circles...)
