Trumping all on the list is Amazing Rhythm Aces, "Too Stuffed to Jump".

Was it them,or the Atlanta Rhythm Aces (same group?) who had the song,"Third Rate Romance,Low-rent Rondevous"? I LOVED (and lived) that song. It ranks right up there with Jimmy Buffet's "Why don't we get drunk and screw?"

Speaking of Buffett,he deserves to be on this list. Wouldn't want to irritate the Parrot Heads. Besides,I've adopted "A Pirate Turns 40" as my personal theme song."The cannons don't thunder,there's nothing to plunder,I'm a over 40 victim of fate."

You got your bands confused, there is the Amazing Rhythm Aces (they did Third rate...), and then there is the Atlanta Rhythm Section.

You got it," Too Stuffed to Jump" was their 2nd album, containing "3rd Rate Romance". Gator got it right, too. There was ARS as well as ARA, two different bands. The Aces became a sort of cult group whose albums sold well with only two singles ever released on the radio.

Their albums have all been rereleased on CD now. Check out their website: theaces.com. The lead singer and songwriter, Russell Smith, has written several songs made into hits by other artists, like Leroy Parnell's hit, "The Rock" and Shelby Lynn's hit "I Need a Heart".

You have to love a group whose bass player is named Jeff Davis.
