	The three most missed are crazy! I love that song and cannot say that I recall them!

	fatbeard:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 04:24 GMT	31 points
	They missed Florida Keys!

	[Deleted]:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 04:25 GMT	1 point
	I could only get the first 5.

	Kevin:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 04:27 GMT	5 points
	@Peter - They covered it with "Key Largo"

	Booger:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 04:35 GMT	11 points
	I agree Florida Keys should be included.

	I know it's self explanitory but kokomo should be an answer for this quiz.

	acroarcs:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 04:54 GMT	10 points
	I don't know if it was at the time, but Kokomo is now a bonus answer.

	Ugh. Missed 3 (Martinique, Montserrat, and Port au Prince) One of my favorite songs as a kid.

	Martinique and Montserrat are mentioned 78 seconds into the song and Port au Prince is mentioned 140 seconds in. How very tricky...

	aerodynamic:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 05:18 GMT	5 points
	To be more precise the lyrics are "To martinique, that Montserrat mystique" and "Port au Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse," both said after the chorus.

	Esteban:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 05:33 GMT	16 points
	Trust me, a glimpse is as close as you want to get to Port au Prince

	florida keys should be counted

	HollywoodLeo:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 05:54 GMT	-2 points
	@aerodynamic, that's all well and good, but I wasn't listening to the song while trying to take the quiz.

	they mention key largo and florida keys at different points, they should be different answers. that simple

	DynamiteDG:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 08:09 GMT	1 point
	That was a fun quiz. I had trouble spelling Monserrat, but I finally got it after a few tries. Well done!

	cocky:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 13:46 GMT	3 points
	How about a list of items or activites mentioned in the song "Escape (the Pina Colada song)?

	emh:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 14:00 GMT	14 points
	Looking through the lyrics, I have to agree with Peter. Key Largo and Florida Keys are mentioned separately in the song and should be different answers.

	@george: they know that key largo is part of the keys. however, florida keys should be counted because it is a geographic location and mentioned APART from key largo. it goes like this: Off the florida keys Theres a place called kokomo Thats where you wanna go to get away from it all

	jesus:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 15:08 GMT	1 point
	Hey Sporcle. This is the 999th game. Any plans for the 1000th.

	marpocky:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 15:17 GMT	13 points
	Key Largo may be part of the Florida Keys, but they are not the same thing. It'd be like if they mentioned both Port-au-Prince and Haiti. I'd expect the quiz to include both.

	notdanhoward:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 15:18 GMT	5 points
	so the Florida Keys aren't a place???

	dashoff:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 15:56 GMT	3 points
	Never knew he said Montserrat there. I had the "Martinique that somethin' somethin' somethin'" going through my head. I'd never been able to make out the lyric. Of course I haven't really heard the song since I was 7, so there's that. Fun quiz! (And as a Floridian, I agree Florida Keys SHOULD be separate, or at least a bonus answer.)

	Ah, ever since I stumbled upon 'Sporcle' I was waiting for this quiz to come along. It's great 'sporcle fodder' if you will,lol.

	i had no idea what his was asking for having never heard the song ended up guessing cities and countries and buildings and streets and everything but missed em all

	HollywoodLeo:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 17:13 GMT	0 points
	@Diane, didn't you know it's mentioned at 78 seconds into the song? How could you miss it?!

	Annie:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 19:26 GMT	12 points
	I must advocate that Florida Keys should be added. If anyone is familiar with VH1's World Series of Pop Culture, naming the places mentioned in this song was a tie breaker, and Florida Keys was an accepted answer.

	Jake:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 19:49 GMT	4 points
	Cue the sax!

	retsyn:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 19:57 GMT	11 points
	i'm with everyone else on adding the florida keys. they are specifically mentioned separately from key largo.

	Kris:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 21:24 GMT	7 points
	GET THIS SONG OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

	John Lambeth:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 22:38 GMT	8 points
	port au prince? seriously? one of these places is not like the others.

	Jaspers:	Feb 16th, 2009 at 02:41 GMT	9 points
	The Key Largo/Florida Keys argument may be the most spirited discussion of Kokomo ever.
