Cover art for Margaritaville lyrics by Jimmy Buffett

I wonder if this song inspired the movie The Big Lebowski. Think about it: an extremely chill ex-musician who often wears flip flops and is always holding a mixed drink, looking for something he lost (ransom money) while dealing with his insane friend who believes (correctly) that the whole thing is a scam, he suffers tragedy after tragedy, until he finally just gives up and moves on. The obvious "woman to blame" is Bunny, although for some characters it would be Maude, and for Walter it could be his ex-wife.
