Keynote Speaker Warren Buffett Refuses To Perform Jimmy Buffett Song

Warren Buffett, currently the world’s second-richest person, repeatedly refused requests to perform the hit song ‘Margaritaville,’ whilst speaking at a conference of CEOs from the banking industry earlier today. Despite the program of the event making it quite clear that Mr. Buffett was there to discuss the effects of the global financial crisis on investor confidence, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway was inundated with demands that he sing the Jimmy Buffett standard by the crowd, many of whom were curiously clothed in Hawaiian shirts. Despite an initial reluctance, Buffett eventually conceded that he might be persuaded to sing ‘Cheeseburger In Paradise’ at karaoke later in the evening.

Further confusion arose last week when, at a concert in Nashville, singer Jimmy Buffett was asked what role he feels the US government should play in the regulation of the banking industry.
