105.7 KOKZ is your home for Classic American Top 40 countdowns every weekend! This Saturday morning at 9, join Casey Kasem as he features the top songs from June 10th, 1978, it’s where I found today’s delicious Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Jimmy Buffett with “Cheeseburger in Paradise”.
The song appears on his “Son of a Son of a Sailor” album and was inspired by Jimmy being forced to eat only canned food items and peanut butter after a boating mishap in the Caribbean. Once back on land, guess what he ordered?!
The song reached #32 on the charts and is part of the Jimmy Buffett legend, the singer recently became a billionaire. One of the You Tube video comments summed it up best, “Jimmy Buffet is the only person who can write a song called “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and make it this successful!”
Check out Jimmy with “Cheeseburger in Paradise” today’s Forgotten 45!
