    It's a strong song with a typical Eagles message. Again I wish I knew who played what.

    Looooooooove this one! Definently one of my favorites. It has SUCH a catchy melody and catch phrase. This is one of the three that I find myself singing when I'm all alone with no music on. lol

    *edit*

    I should add that the only thing I don't like is when it gets to the bridge. There's these certain parts in the music that seem to throw off the balance and melody. I don't know how to explain it. It sounds almost like deep bells but I'm sure it's the keyboard. Anyway...it just seems to kind of disrupt the melody to me. But not enough that I don't love it

    The thing about this song is the hook. It stays in your brain. That kind of thing is what makes a single successful.

    I like this song, but it's not one of my favorites. However, I agree that it has that catchy hook that stays with you. I mean how many times already in our everyday conversations have we used the phrase. Heck - like many of you, I was saying it as soon as I saw title before I had even heard the first note.

    I like the song, but, and this may sound stupid, but, the word "fabulous" grates on me. It makes me think of the TV show "Housewives of Orange County" -those women attempt "fabulocity" 24 hours a day 7 days a week and I find them extremely irritating.

    Fabulous is one of my least favorite words, but I do love the song, and I think it's because it is a bit of a rant about people like those women on HOOC - shallow, materialistic, etc.

    is one of my top five songs on the CD. Coincidentally, as I started typing this response while listening to Joe's interview on Planet Rock, this song started playing. I think I like it more each time I hear it.

    People magazine reviewed the cd and named this their "Download This" song and talked about how catchy it is. When I get back from dinner I'll type out the review. I couldn't find it online. lol
