Name That Eagles Tune
Hi all - I know a lot of us enjoy listening to song lyrics, so I thought I'd start this thread to have a little fun using the lyrics from Eagles songs (and, yes, songs from any of the Eagles solo careers count too). This is based on the old TV show and is quite popular on message boards, so I don't take credit for inventing it. The way this works is that one person will post a line or two of lyrics from an Eagles song, and then the next person names the song the lyrics are from, and then posts more lyrics from either the same song or another song for the next person to answer. You can use as much or as little of the line as you wish, but be sure that you include enough so that the next person can guess the song. Now, don't be alarmed if you don't know the song because the lyrics to every Eagles song ever recorded are in the EaglesOnlineCentral Lyrics Index. There is also a similiar lyrics index for all of the solo songs on each of the individual member sites.*
Here's an example of how it works:
1st poster:
Well, I'm runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load ...
2nd poster:
Take It Easy
So you keep on singing for the sake of the song.
And so on... So let's see how it goes!
------------------------------------------------
* ETA: To search all of the EOC sites for a particular phrase, follow these steps:
1. Highlight and copy the phrase to be searched.
2. Go to EaglesOnlineCentral.
3. Click the 'Search This Site' link.
4. Paste the phrase into the 'Search' field.
5. Type quotation marks before and after the phrase.
6. Click 'Find' and wait for the results to appear.

Re: Name That Eagles Tune
Okay - I'll start off with the line from my example:
So you keep on singing for the sake of the song.
Note to next poster: Remember to give the name of the song this line is from and post your own lyrics to the next song.

The line "I need to feed my starvin' soul" is from Out of Control. Is that what you mean? If so...

The line in Victim Of Love is "There's just one thing I don't understand"
The line in I Love To Watch A Woman Dance is "There's so much I don't understand" in the very last verse.
I hope I'm right anyways!:p It don't take much to make me doubt myself sometimes!
