Who would you rather listen to? Vanilla Ice, or Jimmy Buffet?

[jobycom]

The claim was just made on another thread that Jimmy Buffet was worse than Vanilla Ice. I can't have that. Here we go, mano a mano, on a DU poll. Vanilla Ice, or Jimmy Buffet? The one hit trans-racial wonder, or the singer/songwriter/author/Democrat activist who campaigned against JEB Bush last year?

The gloves are off! Vote! And no "other" options! If you hate 'em both, pick which one you hate the least! This is war!

Well, it's a friendly war, though. :-)

1. actually i am partial to Enigma..

[Shell Beau]

I can't believe someone even compared.

That is just silly.

6. It's a location joke

You had to be there.

Basically, I was told that Jimmy Buffet was the worst singer ever, and I said he couldn't be as long as there was Vanilla Ice, Rick Astley, Hillary Duff, etc. They replied that Vanilla Ice was better than Jimmy Buffet.

Now that you're up to speed... :-)

8. I like Vanilla Ice

I can hear it now "ice ice baby, vanilla ice baby"...

[Shell Beau]

12. Aha! Thanks for update. I see now!

[Bullwinkle925]

2. Think I'd rather listen to Buffet while savoring some vanilla ice cream.

With kahlua sauce perhaps?

3. I have put a proposal to our admins

Suggesting a new rule against terrible musical taste on this board. Will get back with you with the results.

My vote was yes, of course!

;-)

5. While it's true that the Supreme Court has ruled against prior restraint

(shut the F*ck up, Donnie!) I have some sympathy for that suggestion. :-)

4. I don't know but Vanilla Buffet would make a kickass name for a band!

[jobycom]

7. Yeah...

Either a group of fat white guys, or an all-girl band of white "hotties"... It could work!

9. I actually own Jimmy Buffet's greatest hits

I'd still rather listen to him than Vanilla Ice

11. Songs You Know by Heart?

That CD gets played once a week in my house, and I bought it fifteen years ago.

[Initech]

15. No, the 2-disc Meet Me In Margaritaville

[jobycom]

17. Oh. Time to update my CDs.

I don't get out much.

18. It's this one here

10. Buffett actually has some talent. Vanilla Ice has...hair gel.

[jobycom]

13. I'm sayin'! nt.

[KamaAina]

14. Ooh, let's see... um.. that'd be Buffett

Ahhh, that was easy!

Although I was considering doing a parody of Vanilla Ice. I was living in La. at the time and so was going to style myself "Vanilla Rice" (come to think, that'd work even better here...)

[SuperWonk]

16. Very easy....

The Coral Reefers Rule!

19. Would you put Vanilla Ice in your Margaritaville?

[Divameow77]

20. I had to vote for Vanilla Ice

just because he's more fun to make fun of, and he did that Ninja Turtles movie so he Rocks!

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

21. I can't wait for VI's comeback record.

He'll be back "with a brand new invention!" :woohoo:

[jobycom]

22. Hell, it might even be a Jimmy Buffet song

Of course, he'd claim that the rythms and melody line were different, and that he said Vodka and Tonic-ville instead of Margarittaville.
