Whatever the truth may be, Stanley's Welcome Bar is taking credit for being the Cheeseburger in Paradise original. I'm sure that there are a number of other places scattered throughout the Caribbean calling themselves the reason behind that song. Ben Brind, thanks for clearing that up.

Whatever the truth may be, Stanley’s Welcome Bar is taking credit for being the Cheeseburger in Paradise original.

I’m sure that there are a number of other places scattered throughout the Caribbean calling themselves the reason behind that song.

Jimmy clarified the facts in an interview on Radio Margaritaville with Miles Hampton before the July 26, 2007. MILES: It says here in this new magazine I read on the way here, Caribbean Travel & Life, that you wrote that tune, Cheeseburger In Paradise, at Stanley’s Welcome Bar at Tortola. Did they get the facts right there? JIMMY: Nope…Actually I’ve been to Stanley’s Welcome Bar, but I wrote it about Village Cay Marina in Tortola. MILES: And there’s a restaurant there, right? JIMMY: There was in those days. It was the only restaurant and it was the first and real cheeseburger you could have down there. I know Stanley’s well, but if you want the factual, real fact information, it was written after a night at Village Cay Marina. The song was written and I probably played it at Stanley’s a few times, you know. There wasn’t much on Tortola in those days. It’s gotten a little bit bigger in recent years. nak: Cheeseburger In Paradise was written after a night at Village Cay Marina in Tortola.
