And I dream I'm on vacation 'Cause I like the way that sounds,
It's a perfect occupation for me.
I'm loving Garden Party. I downloaded the single from Itunes a few days ago and have had it on repeat for sometime now. It's a great song and Don and Tim's backup vocals make the song an instant hit, imo. I was so glad to hear Don and Tim do a little solo too. The harmonies on it are wonderful. Classic Eagles.

Stranded "on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see."
I won't receive my copy for a couple of weeks. Do Don and Tim each do solo parts and if so on which lines?
I know that most people are focusing on Don and Tim here but is the line 'Yoko brought her Walrus' included? I have always found it hard to imagine John & Yoko going to a Rick Nelson gig.
Don sings "played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came, no one heard the music, we didn't look the same."
Tim sings "I said hello to Mary Lou, she belongs to me, when I sang a song about a honky tonk it was time to leave"
At least those are the lyrics as I understand them. :P
*ETA: Yes that line is included FP!
And I do have to agree that its very Eagles sounding. Don and Tim's harmonies are absolutely GORGEOUS!
FP, it wasn't a Rick Nelson concert per se. It was a show where he was one of many performers, including Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, and Little Richard. Read more about it here: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/...o-is-mr-hughes
I downloaded the song from iTunes. It isn't nearly as good as the original version IMHO - Forgerty's voice doesn't have Nelson's vulnerability - but it's very cool that both Don and Tim get to sing a couple lines by themselves! I agree that their harmony is great on it.
I HEARD the commercial for this on VH1 Classics last night. By the time I got to the living room to see it, it was over. I heard about When Will I Be Loved with Bruce Springsteen and then it said something like someone said "You know that song Garden Party, wouldn't be cool if you got the Eagles to play on it?" I was hoping I would catch it again. It was on during Beatles Anthology last night (yes-I was watching the Beatles ).
I bought the MP3 for Garden Party from Amazon with my $1.00 MP3 credit I received from my pre order of Expando! The best of both worlds right there!!
He sings it high, he plays it low
