Mr "Margaritaville" Jimmy Buffett shared a scene with Florida Democrats on Saturday, shooting President Trump and the Republicans.
"Andrew Gillum will win," Buffett told a crowd of spectators in West Palm Beach, referring to Tallahassee's mayor-democrat candidate for governorship of the state, against GOP challenger Ron DeSantis, a former member of the Congress.
Then Buffett changed the lyrics of one of his songs, "Come Monday," to refer to Tuesday's election: "Come on Tuesday, things will change.Coming Tuesday, we are making a change. It's been two crazy years and it's time to change It's been two crazy years and it's time to change gears. "

Later, Buffett changed a few words to his biggest hit, "Margaritaville", to make fun of Rick Scott, Republican governor of Florida, who is now seeking a seat in the US Senate: "Some people say that there is a red tide to blame, "sang Buffett. "But I know it's Rick Scott's fault."
Appearing alongside Buffett, Gillum urged voters to reject Trump's and GOP's policies, stating, "We are confident that we must walk on our neighbor's shoulder and on his back … so that we can go ahead, "The Tampa Bay Times reported.
Chris King, his vice-presidential candidate, and US Senator Bill Nelson, Democrat, are engaged in a race against Scott.
Buffett, 71, spoke briefly before embarking on the song: "These are your guys, this is your ticket," he said. "There are better days to come, now let's have fun."
Gillum has promised to contain the National Rifle Association, a day after the killing of two women by an armed man in a yoga studio in Tallahassee.
"Enough, that's enough," Gillum said. "We can celebrate what the second amendment means and celebrate safety in our homes, neighborhoods, schools, and places of worship at the same time."
Buffett, known for his escapist sounds on an island, attracts an older, whiter crowd, the newspaper said. His fans, known as Parrot Heads, supported Gillum. Some of them wore "Andrew Gillum for Governor" t-shirts among the sea of Hawaiian shirts in the crowd.
"We need Andrew Gillum and Bill Nelson to win, we have to take back America," said retired retired teacher Jane Lipson wearing a Jimmy Buffett T-shirt for the president and driving from neighboring Broward County to attend the rally. . "Bigotry, hate. (President Trump) brings out the worst in people."
Gayle Pike, a retired 71-year-old teacher, also supported the Democrats.
"We need to change what's happening in America," she said. "All the hate and misery going on from the top, this country is so divided and I've never seen it so mean."
Democratic United States Representative Lois Frankel was applauded when she proclaimed on the stage that she had been banned from Trump's Mar-Lago Golf Club.
Nelson and Gillum hope the pro-democracy counties of South Florida will be able to counterbalance Republican votes elsewhere in the state, such as the Panhandle, where Trump is helping a campaign rally.
