Re: Is the King of Hollywood the strangest, coolest song or what?
I've said before, this is one of my favorite Eagles songs (in my top 5). I love the music, I love the lyrics, etc.... I guess I just love sleaze!! :hilarious: The lyrics just make you feel how sleazy this guy and this business is. Perfect!!!

Good point!

I really like this song musically, and I think the vibe of the music goes well with the lyrics. I just don't like the subject matter. I can listen to it once in awhile, but not often. I feel like I need to bathe after listening to it. :eyebrow:
The octave thing is an interesting and unusual choice, it gives it an eerie vibe. I agree about the icky subject matter being unpleasant, but I think the song is well done.

I love it! Sleaze or not, I really don't pay that much attention to the lyrics. I love the guitars! It's dark, moody, sexy!
Re: Is the King of Hollywood the strangest, coolest song or what?
I love it too.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Don's rants and I agree with them 99.9% of the time~

Don't forget the 'ah ah ah' stuff at the end. Those are harmonies.
