    Default Name That Eagles Tune

    Hi all - I know a lot of us enjoy listening to song lyrics, so I thought I'd start this thread to have a little fun using the lyrics from Eagles songs (and, yes, songs from any of the Eagles solo careers count too). This is based on the old TV show and is quite popular on message boards, so I don't take credit for inventing it. The way this works is that one person will post a line or two of lyrics from an Eagles song, and then the next person names the song the lyrics are from, and then posts more lyrics from either the same song or another song for the next person to answer. You can use as much or as little of the line as you wish, but be sure that you include enough so that the next person can guess the song. Now, don't be alarmed if you don't know the song because the lyrics to every Eagles song ever recorded are in the EaglesOnlineCentral Lyrics Index. There is also a similiar lyrics index for all of the solo songs on each of the individual member sites.*

    Here's an example of how it works:

    1st poster:

    Well, I'm runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load ...

    2nd poster:

    Take It Easy

    So you keep on singing for the sake of the song.


    And so on... So let's see how it goes!

    ------------------------------------------------

    * ETA: To search all of the EOC sites for a particular phrase, follow these steps:

    1. Highlight and copy the phrase to be searched.
    2. Go to EaglesOnlineCentral.
    3. Click the 'Search This Site' link.
    4. Paste the phrase into the 'Search' field.
    5. Type quotation marks before and after the phrase.
    6. Click 'Find' and wait for the results to appear.

    Okay - I'll start off with the line from my example:

    So you keep on singing for the sake of the song.

    Note to next poster:
    Remember to give the name of the song this line is from and post your own lyrics to the next song.

    Nightingale

    (That one was hard, Soda - not as intuitive as the others. I actually had to do a search on EOC to find it because I couldn't think of it off the top of my head.)
