Jimmy also wrote and performed the theme song to the 1993 CBS television series.

Buffett filed a lawsuit against UnderOneHut.com in the US District Court for the Southern District of Texas last November. His attorneys were seeking to prevent UnderOneHut.com from selling Buffett merchandise claiming that they had not granted permission for such sales. This case made worldwide headlines appearing in over two hundred media sources. Ultimately, it was settled out of court. Last month, Jimmy filed suit against Six Flags claiming that the company had infringed on his trademark by calling its kids club the Carrothead Club, claiming the name was taken from the term “Parrotheads,” which is typically associated with Buffett’s fans.
