Too Many Crabs (being laid on her)

You can check out any time you like but you can never not have crabs

We haven't had those crabs here since 1969.

oh great

the objections to Drake from non-REAL HIPHOP people (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 4 October 2013 13:07 (twelve years ago)

lol what is this, a royalties scam?! It's a coda, not a reprise, and it plainly doesn't have any Eagles on it.

Ismael Klata, Friday, 4 October 2013 13:18 (twelve years ago)

one of the odder pieces of sequencing on an Eagles album. Isn't the reprise supposed to come later on the album, not directly after the song it's bloody reprising? While it sorta works on vinyl, with "Wasted Time" closing side 1 and the reprise opening Side 2, on CD it's just "the track you skip to get to 'Victim of Love'"

LOL that was my exact initial thought.

I like the reprise better than the actual song. It sounds like the closing credits music of an old movie.

carl agatha, Friday, 4 October 2013 13:42 (twelve years ago)

Wish this was a poll so I could rank this No. 1.

pplains, Friday, 4 October 2013 13:56 (twelve years ago)

Vinyl sure did make some bands feel clever. I keep noticing on the wiki articles that the Eagles were fond of inscribing the run-out groove.

pplains, Friday, 4 October 2013 13:57 (twelve years ago)

Apparently, the Eagles owed arranger Jim Ed Norman a favor. Can't think of why the fuck else this is on here.

Haha man what a weird choice

These guys are pathologically bad at sequencing albums

Henley needs a reprise intervention

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 4 October 2013 16:05 (twelve years ago)

like it's not bad but yeah it's just like some syruppy old lite classical/movie music, doesn't really fit the album at all

i've never heard this actual album, i was kinda pulling for this to be their dark L.A. masterpiece like the title track

lorde willin' (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 4 October 2013 16:08 (twelve years ago)

yeah I quite like it in and of itself, but as pleased with itself as the original version was, this is just Henley in a mirror looking in a mirror infinity style and it's kinda gross

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 4 October 2013 16:26 (twelve years ago)

Probably their most pretentious moment? It must have been high stroke for them to hear their melody performed that way. If this were the sixties, there would have been an "Irving Azoff Orchestra Plays The Hits of the Eagles" lp. If Bernie were still around, there'd be so much banjo up in this bitch. However, in the context of this thread, it's a nice Friday break.

Henley's their Bernstein, you guys. It totally makes sense.

Royalty statements fascinate me. I suppose it depends on his publishing deal. Does he make enough to pay for a house and not work for the rest of his life?

Not to derail, but I just found this piece on royalty amounts/distribution in the wake of "Baby Blue"'s Breaking Bad sales spike:

^^SPOLIER ALERT!!!! (j/k I found out on fb like an hour after posting to the BB music thread)

On a related note, BESIDES the scene(s) in Lebowski and The Hitchhiker's Guide, has there been any other notable uses of Eagles music in Film/TV? "Lyin' Eyes" shows up in Urban Cowboy, and the cover band in the Ridgemont High dance scene does "Life In The Fast Lane", but that's all I've got.

A Made Man In The Mellow Mafia (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 4 October 2013 19:36 (twelve years ago)

Oh, and The Simpsons used "New Kid In Town" once.

A Made Man In The Mellow Mafia (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 4 October 2013 19:37 (twelve years ago)

"in the city" of course, though that predates the Eagles version. but yeah, otherwise drawing a blank. maybe Henley/F are too greedy and no one can afford to use their stuff

col, Friday, 4 October 2013 19:40 (twelve years ago)

Well at the time, "In The City" was still a Joe Walsh song, but I'll let it slide.

Hahaha, as soon as I posted that I thought, "Fuck, C. Grisso/McCain doesn't know what the song is yet!" But it was so crazily all over the news that I hoped you probably already knew.

There's the Seinfeld episode where "Desperado" and "Witchy Woman" both play very prominent roles in the plot.
