I hate to say it, but James Dean gets in my head at least once a week.
Reading all about that new Lindsey Lohan movie? James Deen, byur-nur-chur-churk, James Deen, why do you have to be so mean?
Those probably aren't the lyrics, but hey.

There are a couple of songs on Steppenwolf's Skullduggery (most notably the title track) that sound a lot like BOC. Of course, there are other songs that sound like '70s Waylon Jennings. And there's a jazz-disco-funk instrumental that closes the whole thing out. It's a really weird album.

James Dean sounds so much worse than you expect, even with the title. Chug at least meets expectations

I wish I knew Glenn Frey's phone number. I would randomly drunk dial him every now and then and just play a chorus of Chug All Night and then hang up.

this thread is insane, i love you guys
"Witchy Woman"'s intro sounds heavier than i remembered it, this is really one of the only Eagles hits i'd really just totally dismissed out of hand anymore but it sounds pretty good right now. and i hate to be that guy projecting indie cred, but i swear i can hear noted '70s soft rock aficionado Steve Shelley copping a very specific fill in this song:

"Chug All Night" would sound like great sludge as a 45 rpm slowed down to 33 1/3. Also, nice of them not to finish the song with a harmonica flourish at the very end.
As long as we're revisiting "Take It Easy", I'll say that for the past two days I've been thinking "It's a girl my lord and a fat Rob Ford slowing down to take a look at me."

Songwriters: FREY, GLENN LEWISMost of us are sad No one lets it show I've been shadows of myself How was I to know? Tell me scarlet sun What will time allow? We have brought our children Here who can save them now? Oh, weeping woman try to smile Like the coming dawn Most of us are sad it's true Still we must go on Love was here today Oh the sun was bright I will sing you faraway Love is here tonight Most of us are sad No one lets it show I've been shadows of myself How was I to know?

"Randy Meisner appears on this album but was asked to leave the band shortly before the record was released. Meisner's exit was a result of his anger from being excluded (at Furay's insistence) from participation in the final mix playback sessions for the record, as only Messina and Furay were to complete the production. His image was removed from the painting on the album's cover, and replaced with the dog seen at the far left. His bass parts and backing vocals were left in the mix, but his lead vocals were removed, and new versions were sung by George Grantham."

"In 1988, a man named Lewis Peter "Buddy" Morgan started impersonating Meisner. He had previously been charged with impersonating Don Henley in Las Vegas, but skipped on his bail. Morgan's identity was not conclusively revealed until 1997. In 1998, he was arrested and spent 16 months in jail, but upon his release continued his charade and was still doing so as of 2009. In Reno, Nevada, he tried to use Meisner's identity to rent hotel rooms. He was not as successful as before with the ruse, since area hotels had notified each other of the impostor. Some people are not familiar with Meisner's appearance, and Morgan used that fact to con musical instrument manufacturers and retailers, casino owners, and women."

The eclecticism continues. I really like this, to my surprise - I'd never go for such a dirge normally. It struck me as quite hymnlike at first, though I hear the country now. It's quite protestant in its plainness. The instrumentation is refined and the harmonies are lovely, and it resists the temptation to big up too much - a lesser band would've choired it up or done something horrid. Instead this is nice.
