The space shuttle program is winding down and NASA is giving you the chance to decide what wakeup songs will be played for the final missions.
The wakeup song has been a part of the space program since the days of the Apollo missions. Jimmy Buffett’s music has been played at least three times: “Window on the World” earlier this year, “Oysters and Pearls” in 2008, and “Twelve Volt Man” in 2006.
NASA has chosen 40 previously played wakeup songs (with Jimmy’s “Window on the World” being one of them) and they want you to vote for your favorite. The two songs with the most votes will be played during the STS-133 mission that is scheduled to launch on November 1st.
“Window on the World” is currently at #9 with 1,900 votes. The current top two vote-getters are the “Star Trek Theme Song” with 23,000 votes and “Countdown” by Rush with 17,000 votes, so Jimmy needs our help!
Jimmy Buffett’s own Sirius XM channel wants to send you to Jimmy Buffett’s own hotel in Pensacola Beach, Florida…and send you in style!
If you win, your “License To Chill at the Margaritaville Beach Hotel” will include 4 nights at the amazing beachside hotel, airfare for two, and the VIP treatment– including a tour in Jimmy’s Surf Van of some of his favorite Gulf Coast spots and a personal gumbo cooking class with Jimmy’s sister, Lucy, at her restaurant, Lulu’s in nearby Gulf Shores, AL.
Heck, we’ll even throw in $500 to spend on food and beverages at the amazing hotel restaurants and bars, some Margaritaville flip-flops, and the hotel will let you even let you take home one of the robes!
One of the coolest products offered by Margaritaville Cargo is the Margaritaville Tailgating Grill. Not only is it a snap to grill on, but it’s a snap to transport because it’s attached to a heavy duty steel swing arm that fits into a standard receiver hitch on your car or truck!
