Buffett recorded many hit songs, including those known as "The Big 8": "Margaritaville" (1977), which is ranked 234th on the Recording Industry Association of America's list of "Songs of the Century"; "Come Monday" (1974); "Fins" (1979); "Volcano" (1979); "A Pirate Looks at Forty" (1974); "Cheeseburger in Paradise" (1978); "Why Don't We Get Drunk" (1973); and…

These come off the person record, which names a work and not a
production. So we can say this name is attached to the work and we cannot say
which staging, or in what capacity. For a composer or a writer that is the whole
career we hold; there is no cast list to find them in.
What this page does not know
- What this person played. No cast list we hold records a character against
a performer.
- Any staging. This name appears in no production cast list we hold — 1,877 of 7,139 people are in that position, most of them writers, composers and designers rather than performers.
- Which of the credits above the roles on this record —
composer, lyricist — apply to. The roles sit on the
person and never on a credit, so a director who also acted looks the same here as
one who did not.
