Can you possibly tell me what Rolling Stone article this is referencing?

Not accusing, but someone sang song calling FBI Terrorist. Anybody know whether it was Buffet, or someone else? Shameful.

I’m going to agree with Mitch, the previous poster. When the ‘phins score and they play Buffet’s boring and clownish song, “Fins Up” it is a travesty. Opposing teams probably enjoy how fast the wind blows out of the crowd’s sails and how quiet the stadium gets after a HOME TEAM score.

And then, when you compare how wild the stadium gets when they play the old fight song to start the 4th quarter, its a no brainer as to how idiotic this new song is. People need to rise up and “vote down” this comical, laissez-faire attempt at a fight song before Buffet and his various endorsement deals ruin all credibility for the players and fans of the Miami Dolphins.

Every time our Miami Dolphins score, they play Jimmy Buffet’s song “Fins”. THIS SONG IS HORRIBLE AND MUST GO! How could they take away our FIGHT SONG after all these years – I guess that is what money does to an organization.

I think everyone is missing the bigger picture here. Buffalo sucks. The Jets suck. The Patriots are cheaters. ‘Nuff said.

Oh yeah, the Gators suck too…..

Patrick, I hope your “Native Floridian” sensibilities don’t mind this NY Jet fan “parroting” what many reasonable and musically astute Miami Dolphin fans (above) seem to “get”…:

… that Jimmy Buffet is, musically-speaking, a walking, squawking eff’in FRAUD. The clown’s 24-carat, phony baloney “mellow dude” act (at best) plays with tin-earred burnouts in Key West or Tommy-shirted ‘weekend beachcomber’ wannabe balding CPA’s originally from Long Island (smirk). But musically, he is–always was–irrevevant. Other than that, he sucks the big one; LMAO

Again, The Fins old Fight Song was first played in Miami. Houston copied the Fins song. It is not the best, but it is what we have. Jimmy’s song is not replacing the old fight song. People should just go and support the team and have a good time instead of bitching all the time.

Wow….Leave it to Northeasterners to chime in on what is best for South Florida culture and sports, while eating Coney Island hotdogs, Philly Cheesesteaks, New York Pizza and never missing a Yankees or Jets game at our stadium. Go back…..resign from the condo association board, take your 3 Tenors CD’s and fly your obnoxiuos rearends back to the rich climate of the likes of Buffalo. This isn’t your home and these aren’t your teams so why be here. Your snow shovel awaits.

Sincerely yours,

A Florida Native

Jimmy is right. The song has always been aweful and was ripped off from the Houston Oilers to begin with. This is a new era and a new fight song only seems fitting.

I am a long time season ticket holder and could care less about Jimmy Buffets lousy song. The old one was hokey, ok but it is supposed to be. The fans aren’t looking for music for their car stereo but a song to get people fired up that is easy to remember. His music is lame at best anyway and he IS a complete jerk and a snob. I will not be buying any shark p*ss beer at the game because it tastes rank (yuck). If there is money to be made he will be involved, but don’t ever believe that he cares about any of Florida.

But anyway, Go Dolphins!!
Buffalo and T.O. should be fun to watch implode this year.

Pat–if JB moved to Ceder Key you’d be bitchin’ about how he ruined what used to be a laid back close knit community by bringing all the snowbirds in. I think he’s doing places like Ceder Key a favor by living in places where he’s just another famous face and not THE famous face in the whole town. Famous people value what little privacy they can get where they can get it In this fame worshipping country that’s where their money can keep them away from prying eyes.

Just because Buffet is a nice guy doesn’t mean we should happily accept our beloved franchise hitching the entire Dolphin identity to Buffet’s hokie, outdated, cheesy, cliche of a marketing demograph that represents not only a small portion of our fan base, but the most embarrassing.
This whole relationship has been garbage from the jump, regardless of how they position it to the public.
His music is hokie and his “parrothead” fans are a joke.
It makes one cringe.
2009 kids don’t relate to this garbage, and the majority of adult Dolphin fans (yes, the parents of young Dol-Fans) don’t listen to Buffet and could care less about this doomed campaign.

Another horrible mistake by this franchise.

The new song is nothing but rehashed drivel geared to aging mullet heads, gray pony tailed baby boomers & their airhead consorts by a guy who single handedly destroyed the Keys.

I was priveliged to go to two Dolphin games back in the ’72 perfect season… Buffet should either record a new version of the song [he'd probably do a good job], or just leave a great So. Florida tradition alone…
THEY’RE IN THE AIR-THEY’RE ON THE GROUND-THEY’RE ALWAYS IN CONTROL…AND WHEN YOU SAY MIAMI-YOU’RE TALKING SUPERBOWL…
Can’t be beat after a home game TD!!

I have known Jimmy for more than 35 years..He is a kind considerate person,friend,father,husband and all around great guy.Good for him that he is a huge success.He has never forgotten where he came from nor his friends.He does many things for others with ever asking to be acknowledged.The man has a good heart.Florida is lucky to have him.

He had no problem rewriting it because he’s going to make a killing selling his beer, Land Shark Lager. Writing a new song was part of the endorsement deal and rights to naming the stadium. He certainly didn’t do it out of the goodness of his heart. Gee, I wonder what the main beer in the stadium is going to be? Make no mistake, he’s pretty astute as a businessman, but as a musician (and as a human being), he’s a total HACK.

jimmy is a class act period. i worked with him for 15 years. he is honest, pays his bills, and is an overall friendly person. not to mention an absolute genius, i mean he is a world class entertainer, and a world class businessman. period, unless you know him, dont judge him,

good luck jimmy, we all know you will revive the whole dolphin franchise.

Being a season ticket holder I always felt the fight song sucked. Looking forward to this season and the new song. Go FINS!!!!

Jimmy is right. The Old Dolphin song sucks. It is the exact
track from the Houston Oilers , and it sucked then.
It’s long over due to ditch that piece of crap & replace
it with anything. If you folks don’t like ” Fins “,
come up with something better.
Good Luck this coming season
