Terry Fator Sings “Margaritaville” With a Jimmy Buffett Puppet
The video begins with a playful exchange between Fator and his puppet character, Jimmy Buffet (pronounced Buh-Fay), a clever play on words. Fator humorously questions Buffet’s identity, as the email he received claimed to be from Buffett himself. Buffet quickly clarifies that he is, in fact, “Jimmy Buffett,” leading to a light-hearted banter about the pronunciation of their names.
Once the confusion is resolved, Fator and Buffett launch into their rendition of “Margaritaville.” Fator’s exceptional ventriloquism skills bring Buffet to life as they then sing the classic song together. Fator’s flawless impersonation captures both the laid-back and tropical vibe that Buffett’s music is known for, making it a fitting tribute to the legendary musician.
As they sing, the viewers can’t help but praise the performance, reminiscing about the music and spirit of Buffett. The performance of “Margaritaville” is almost flawless, evoking images of sandy beaches, tropical drinks, and carefree days.
As the performance concludes, Fator and Buffet receive applause from their virtual audience. Fator’s genuine admiration for Buffett shines through, and he expresses his delight at how well the tribute went. The video also captures an endearing moment when Fator mentions sending the video to his kids, prompting Buffet to reveal their amusing names, “6.99 and All You Can Eat.”
