Persistent earworm alert CCLXXIX

I haven't heard Jimmy Buffett's "Cheeseburger In Paradise" in years.  I'm not hungry at the moment, and I don't plan to eat a cheeseburger for dinner.  I'm still wondering what sparked my memory of the tune this afternoon, though.  It's possible that I saw an ad for a burger place peripherally without realizing it...

...or maybe, my reading recently that McDonald's will soon sell Happy Meals for adults triggered the song.

Actually, Buffett's lyric about liking lettuce and tomato on a cheeseburger is making me crave a salad.  "Cobb Salad In Paradise" doesn't lend itself as naturally to song lyrics, but with the right ingredients, it can be just as tasty as a cheeseburger.
