oh the "we wait" part is definately Glenn, it's my favorite part
I also think that a lot of the wait, wait, wait, wait, wait stuff is Glenn, but there are obviously others in that part that I can't figure out - for example, who sings the shout out parts "we love to, everybody now, wait some more" and what about the lines "rub your belly in linseed oil, wrap your head in aluminum foil"? (BTW - aren't those amazing lyrics? )
Of course, none of us really knows the real answers to any of this stuff. However, I think it is fun to speculate and hear people's opinions, and to see if and when we come to a conscensus on any of it.

This is the first chance I've had to listen to this since the topic was started. I'll give my opinion on these tough questions!
Sounds like Glenn to me - I agree with Dreamer that it makes sense since Glenn was singing prior and you can hear Don joking with him that he should take a break so his "voice will clear up." (By the way, what's a squib?)
I'm thinking Glenn. Something about the enunciation of the vowels. Hard to say, though.Originally Posted by Ive always been a dreamer
The most prominent vocal sounds like Glenn to me. You can hear his accent especially on parts like "We ordered dinner late last night."Originally Posted by Freypower
It's complicated since different people seem to be throwing in different lines. I think the most prominent of the shout-outs is Don Henley. You can especially hear his accent on the quiet "everybody, everybody."Originally Posted by Ive always been a dreamer[/quote
No idea! I think it might be someone other than Glenn and Don since they were already singing. Still, it doesn't really sounds like Joe and definitely not Tim or Randy. I suppose it could be Felder just by process of elimination. BTW, those clever lyrics are courtesy of Steve Allen.Originally Posted by Ive always been a dreamer
I decided to revive this thread with another Random Victims mystery question when I realized I had forgotten to respond to this. After reading Soda's remarks and listening to it again carefully, ITA that Don H. is singing the "everybody, everybody" part.Originally Posted by Ive always been a dreamer
Now I'm interested to hear folks opinion on this one ...
Who is saying the lines "...my nerves are fried, my neves are raw from drinking and bein' in love..." ???
I'm gonna say that this is also Don Henley.

I always thought it was Joe because I have a vague memory that he used the exact same phrase in an interview.
I remember that there's a review that attributes that line to Joe, but I think that was just the reviewer's opinion. On first listen something about it made me think it was Don, but when I re-listened to it, I think it could very well be Joe.... dang, these guys don't make it easy.
In recognition of today being the 10 anniversary of the release of the "Selected Works" box set, I thought I would revive this thread with another mystery question about Random Victims, Pt.3. So whaduya think about this one ...
Who is singing on the phenomenol track "I Broke My Toe"?
I'm thinking it is Glenn that broke his toe, but I have no idea who is singing lead on the "he broke his toe" backup part. I'm gonna guess that it is Felder because of the deep voice.
And let me not forget this ...
HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY SELECTED WORKS!!!
I may just have to listen to the Millennium Concert sometimes today to celebrate!
