Eagles Song Parodies

[Prettymaid]

Soooo..............how do I meet this friend? hahahahaaaaa

Sorry guys! Just as Avocado was about my personal experiences, my "friend" in Henley Eyes is pure fiction, dang it!

Maleah, you've got the knack! Good song! (At our house I'm afraid it's me who does the snoring, so fair warning, if we do have a Border party you may not want to share a room with me!)

Troub, I tried so hard to find something -anything -that rhymed with Desperado. Where'd Your 'Fro Go is pure poetry!

And Soda, you've become the Seinfeld of songwriting!

This "reversing" may not be a new genre, but it is the first place I look when I stumble onto The Border!

Desperado
El Dorado
Colorado

But the best is definitely Avocado!

[Prettymaid]

Desperado
El Dorado

But the best is definitely Avocado!

Okay I lied! I did briefly consider El Dorado, and even more breifly, Colorado. I just didn't like where they were taking me!

[MikeA]

I wasn't criticizing Cathy...REALLY! I wouldn't change a word in "Avocado". Genius! Kudos!!!!!!! I was just trying to think of rhymes with Desperado...a difficult word.

One Memento
High Rise Condo
Innuendo
Wild Navaho
Boise Idaho

You all are great! I'm not even gonna try!

Maleah's snoring song reminds me of my Dad's snoring, too! He would inhale and hold it till you just knew he had passed on, then all of a sudden, boom! How my mother endured it I will never know! Must be an old people's thing, although, they weren't that old when I was a kid!

And Pm and Soda, fantastic!

[Peekaboo]

Soda, your last composition about overspending cracked me up !!! It reminded me that trip to Missouri when I saw the guys in Columbia back in March. I can relate to soooo much of that song.

Lou, "Where'd your 'fro go" is priceless. Love it!!

Maleah, i agree that your first attempt was an excellent one . I think many of us can relate to it.

I didnt write this.. but I was searching chordie and found it! I think it's pretty good! *G*

Hotel Cant Afford Ya
Apologetix
Bm F#
From a dark desert highway, we pulled into the inn
A E
Rome called for a census, I was from Bethlehem
G D
Up above from a distance a star was giving me light
Em
My wife was heavy ‘cause her child was due
F#
We had to stop for the night

Bm F#
So I stood in the doorway of Bethlehem hotel
A E
And I was thinking to myself "I hope to heaven they'll give me some help"
G D
But they told us no-can-do and they sent me away
Em F#
"There's a place around the corner though where you both can stay"

G D
Welcome, but the hotel can't afford ya
Em Bm
Such a lovely place but we're out of space
G D
Ran out of room and the hotel can't afford ya
E F#
It's the time of year with the census here

Bm F#
My wife was definitely gifted, that's what the Lord's angel said
A E
She was about to have a baby boy while still virgin
G D
Spent the night in the barnyard, cheap slumlord's rent
Em F#
Some night to remember, some night to forget

Bm F#
So because of what happened I was grieving for my wife
E
I said "They probably haven't cleaned in here since B.C. 65"
G D
Animal voices were calling for straw and hay
Em F#
Keeping you up through the middle of the night just as if to say…

G D
Welcome, but the hotel can't afford ya
Em Bm
Such a lovely place, but we're out of space
G D
Holiday rush and the hotel can't afford ya
Em F#
What a nice surprise for your silent night

(Play next verse quieter)
Bm F#
He was born that evening and shepherds came that night
A E
And they said "We're all just visitors here of the Holy Christ"
G D
And in an ass's manger, they found the boy asleep
Em F#
They started getting teary eyed so they went back to their sheep

Bm F#
Last thing I remember there were wise men at the door
A E
They had a bunch of packages from the place they were before
G D
"We're late," said the wise men "We had problems Christmas Eve
Em F#
We've been checking out your shiny light all through the Middle East"
