Eagles Song Survivor: The Long Run

[sodascouts]

Time for our next Song Survivor! Our album this time will be The Long Run. If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview (https://eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6551&postcount=7)

I'm going to list the songs of The Long Run here. Vote for the song that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The song that gets the most votes will be taken off of the list (or, in the language of Survivor, "Voted off of the island.") Each round, one more song will get axed, until there's only one left. Remember: you're voting for your LEAST favorite, not your favorite.

Each round will last 48 hours after posting to give people a chance to vote who don't post every day. That means that the first round will end at 8:00 Eastern time the day after tomorrow. If you miss a round, don't think you can't play. It's all good!

Since there may be discussion posts, be sure to make it clear when you are casting your vote. Votes cannot be cast after the cut off time of 8:00 on the second day, and they cannot be changed once you have voted.

If you get confused about what round we are in, look at this post. I'll always update it to reflect the current round. Also feel free to post any questions if you don't understand what's going on.

If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then I'll have a sudden-death trivia question ready. The first person who answers it correctly gets to break the tie.

We also have immunity questions. We won't have immunity questions on the first or second-to-last-rounds, and of course we won't have them for the last round, lol. However, for the other rounds, we will.

Here's how immunity questions work. At the beginning of the round, I ask a question related to one of the songs on The Long Run. The first person who answers the question correctly gets to pick a remaining song to be immune - no one can vote for it on the next round. I'll allow two hours for someone to answer. If no one gets it right by then, then we continue the round as normal without any song being immune. You only get one guess per round, so be careful! Remember to include both the answer to the question and the song you want immune in your reply, or it won't count.

And the winner is....
Heartache Tonight

[sodascouts]

I cast my vote for that piece of musical infamy known as..

THE DISCO STRANGLER

[whitcap]

I cast my vote for The Disco Strangler

[EagleLady]

I vote for Disco Strangler

[Shadowland07]

I vote for Teenage Jail

[EaglesFanatic]

I vote for The Disco Strangler haha

[GlennLover]

I vote for The Disco Strangler!

[AzEaglesFan]

The Disco Stangler must go.:thumbsdown:

[eaglesvet]

I cast my vote for TEENAGE JAIL.

[tequila girl]

I vote for The Disco Strangler! :yuck:

[TimothyBFan]

First I want to say, I don't feel there's a bad song on this album (I hear you groaning). This is one of those rare albums, for me anyways, that I don't skip a song on, NONE of them. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this album so this is going to be a hard survivor game for me.

You guys are killing me with all the Disco Strangler hate!! :worried:

My first vote goes to Teenage Jail.

[Koala]

I cast my vote for The Disco Strangler!

[sodascouts]

Sorry Willie! If it makes you feel better, I forced myself not to skip it when listening to the album for the Survivor, so at least it's getting more play!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

First I want to say, I don't feel there's a bad song on this album. This is one of those rare albums, for me anyways, that I don't skip a song on, NONE of them. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this album so this is going to be a hard survivor game for me.

I'm with you here, Willie ... well sorta. I do like all the songs on the album. However, it's definitely not my favorite Eagles album. It's funny, but I guess it just shows what a hardcore fan I am. When I rate this album along side the band's other work, it is one of my least favorites. HOWEVER, I still think it's terrific! The problem with the album for me is that it is uneven - it has some of the band's best work and some of their weakest. But for me even the weakest Eagles song is still good. :nod:

As usual, I'm withholding my vote for now.

[luvthelighthouse]

TBF, I will join you and cast my vote for Teenage Jail.

I remember driving home one night from work and randomly, the radio was playing Disco Strangler. It surprised me, because it's not something you would expect to hear on a regular FM station. I gained a little appreciation for the song that day.

[Troubadour]

It was a close call, but I cast my vote for Disco Strangler.

[Nobody'sBeach]

Ok, fine...Disco Strangler - to go, please.

[timfan]

I cast my vote for Teenage Jail

[Peekaboo]

I guess I'm in the minority in this first round. My vote goes to The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks. Not a terrible song, imo, just not really my cup of tea.

[Glennsallnighter]

I too cast my vote for Disco Strangler. Definitely not their best ever work!!

[Wildthyme]

My first round vote goes to Teenage Jail.

[pueblo47]

My vote goes to THE GREEKS DON'T WANT NO FREAKS

[The_Girl_Of_Summer]

I cast my vote for Disco Strangler

[UK TimFan]

I've got several 'don't likes' but fractionally the worst, and therefore the one getting my vote this round, is 'Disco strangler'.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - it looks like The Disco Strangler will be strangled here in this first round - no real surprise to me. Since it won't need my vote for elimination, I am going to look toward the future and cast a strategic vote ...

I cast my vote for In the City.

[sodascouts]

The first song to be voted off of The Long Run Survivor is Disco Strangler. "Disco Strangler," you may be looking for the good life, but you won't find it here. The tribe has spoken and it's time for you to leave the island. The rest of the songs may return to camp. (pssst.... Police are waiting for The Disco Strangler at the dock... the reign of terror that has plagued the Bee Gees will finally come to an end).

Voting for Round 2 begins after the following immunity question is answered:

Which song is the only one in the Eagles' 70s catalog to feature a sax solo?

Remember to include both your answer and the song you want immune in order for it to be counted.

[Troubadour]

The Sad Cafe.

I would like King Of Hollywood to be immune this round.

[sodascouts]

That's right!

KING OF HOLLYWOOD is immune.

Round Two begins NOW.

[Shadowland07]

I vote for...Teenage Jail

[Troubadour]

Yay. I'm pretty sure that's the first immunity question I've ever answered. Looks like I checked The Border at the right moment tonight!

I'm following my heart, so I won't hold off this round... I cast my vote for Teenage Jail.

[Shadowland07]

lol well congrats. i was going to say "Funky New Year" but then i remembered the question said solo :brickwall:

[EagleLady]

I vote for Teenage Jail

[sodascouts]

Since the only enjoyable aspect of this song is the guitar, which can by no means outweigh all the other things that suck about this song from the trudging melody to the inane lyrics to the grating vocals:

I cast my vote for Teenage Jail.

[eaglesvet]

Well said. TEENAGE JAIL it is, then!

[whitcap]

I vote for Teenage Jail.

[EaglesFanatic]

I vote Teenage Jail out.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Since the only enjoyable aspect of this song is the guitar, which can by no means outweigh all the other things that suck about this song from the trudging melody to the inane lyrics to the grating vocals:

I cast my vote for Teenage Jail.


Awww - Poor Teenage Jail. While I agree that it should be the next to go ... I was hoping we could let it go down gentler. :weep: :wink: Sorry that Soda's being so mean to you Teenage Jail ...

Okay, maybe not the best melody ever, but trudging ??? :woah:

What do you mean by inane lyrics - I think those lyrics are meaningful and deep. :lol:

And grating vocals ... :nope: - not to these ears. I think Glenn sounds terrific!

Again, I'm going to withhold my vote until later. But I get the feeling I won't need to vote for Teenage Jail. :grin:

[Koala]

I cast my vote for Teenage Jail

[AzEaglesFan]

Teenage Jail has my vote too.

[tequila girl]

Teenage Jail gets my vote too!

[TimothyBFan]

What do you mean by inane lyrics - I think those lyrics are meaningful and deep. :lol:


Almost as deep as "you were barfin' all over your girlfriend's shoes..." :)

Like I said in the other Survivor thread, my least 2 favorite and my 2 favorites can pretty much be interchangable. So since TJ looks as if it's going down anyways, I'll mix it up with the other least favorite of mine.

I vote for The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks.

[sodascouts]

Almost as deep as "you were barfin' all over your girlfriend's shoes..." :)


I have to say in terms of inanity The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks has the dubious honor of surpassing Teenage Jail! However, it gets nudged up for me because at least it has energy and makes me laugh a couple times.

Of course folks who try hard enough can get deep meaning out of anything. I can see the paper now: "Nixon's Fraternity: 'The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks' as a Scathing, Highly Ironic Metaphorical Condemnation of the Elitist, Hypocritical, and Utterly Contemptible Behavior of the Republican PARTY"

[The_Girl_Of_Summer]

I vote for Teenage Jail

[GlennLover]

Since Teenage Jail doesn't seem to need any help in not surviving this round, I cast my vote for In The City.

[pueblo47]

My vote is THE GREEKS DON'T NEED NO FREAKS

[luvthelighthouse]

I'm going to do a strategic move... I cast my vote for Heartache Tonight.

[Nobody'sBeach]

" You'd know it if you saw his stuff, the man just isn't big enough."



King of Hollywood - don't let the door smack 'ya on the way out...

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Sorry NB - but King of Hollywood is immune this round. Maybe you can try again next round.

[timfan]

I cast my vote for the Long Run

[UK TimFan]

I'm also voting for 'Teenage Jail'.

[Brooke]

Well, sorry to have missed the first round, but I'm happy with the results and it looks like my second choice will go down this round. :yay:

So, do I vote strategically or just go with what should go next? :hmm:

I'll be back........

[Nobody'sBeach]

Sorry NB - but King of Hollywood is immune this round. Maybe you can try again next round.

My bad, thanks Dreamer.

Next time - King Of Hollywood

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I may not be around this evening when the voting closes, so I have to vote earlier than I normally do. I guess it's time to deploy some strategy of my own since it looks like Teenage Jail is on its way out for sure. I'll guess I need to even the score for now, so ...

I cast my vote for I Can't Tell You Why.

[Prettymaid]

Voting strategically, let's go with The Sad Cafe.

[Nobody'sBeach]

I Can't Tell You Why - bye.

[Brooke]

Hmmm. Still torn, but going with I Can't Tell You Why.

Willie, please don't hurt me. :fear:

[luvthelighthouse]

All this strategy is going to stress me out. :lol:

Brooke, I feared a stoning for voting for HT! :fear:

I can usually predict the final two (or winner), but I have a feeling this game may throw me for a loop. I do love survivor, it keeps me on my toes!

[Brooke]

Brooke, I feared a stoning for voting for HT! :fear:



Be afraid, ltlh. Be very afraid! :twisted:

[Glennsallnighter]

:machinegun::machinegun::machinegun:
I'm going to do a strategic move... I cast my vote for Heartache Tonight.:machinegun::machinegun::machinegun:

[Glennsallnighter]

I vote for 'Teenage Jail' in this round.

[Wildthyme]

Since it looks like TJ is going, going, gone this round I will have to vote with other things in mind. My vote this round goes to The Long Run.

[UK TimFan]

Hmmm. Still torn, but going with I Can't Tell You Why.

Willie, please don't hurt me. :fear:
It's not just Willie you need to be scared of! :machinegun:

[TimothyBFan]

Hmmm. Still torn, but going with I Can't Tell You Why.

Willie, please don't hurt me. :fear:

That just hurts!!!!!

The second song to be voted off of The Long Run Survivor is Teenage Jail. "Teenage Jail," it may not be the weekend, but you have to go off the deep end. The tribe has spoken and it's time for you to leave the island. The rest of the songs may return to camp.

Voting for Round 3 begins after the following immunity question is answered:

Which song(s) on The Long Run feature(s) both Glenn and Don sharing lead vocals?

Remember to include both your answer and the song you want immune in order for it to be counted.

[whitcap]

Teenage Jail

King of Hollywood immune

[Wildthyme]

Teenage Jail and King of Hollywood

I Can't Tell You Why immune

[sodascouts]

Wildthyme has it - the liner notes of The Long Run list both the songs as having shared lead vocals.

I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY is immune.

Round 3 starts NOW!

[whitcap]

I vote of The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks

[UK TimFan]

I'm also voting for 'Greeks don't want no freaks'.

[EagleLady]

I vote for Greeks don't want no freaks

[Nobody'sBeach]

Oops! Guess I forgot to vote last round, but anyway

leaving King Of Hollywood in the parking lot...




btw, Congratulations to Cincinnati's Boys of Summer
(with a bottom of the 9th home run - can you say JACK?)

National League Central Champs - 2010 Cincinnati Reds!

Get the brooms out baseball fans...almost October

[Koala]

I vote for Greeks Don't Want No Freaks

[tequila girl]

The Greeks don't want no Freaks for me too!

[TimothyBFan]

Big thanks to Cami for her wisdom in making ICTYW immune this round! :thumbsup:

Also want to say kudos to so many playing the game this time!! :applause: It's great to see such participation!

I actually thought about holding off on my vote this time and maybe voting strategically later. :woah:I know, Willie doesn't do strategic! But since Cami was so wise and the other song I was worried about doesn't look as if it's in danger, I shall stick with the Willie way and vote from the heart.

I vote for The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks.

[eaglesvet]

And may I say, Willie, how gorgeous your sig is?? Just beautiful!!:inlove:

With that, I would like to vote KING OF HOLLYWOOD away and be gone!!

[EaglesFanatic]

I vote for The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks.

[GlennLover]

I like The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks. I think it's a fun song, a bit of comedy. The lyrcis seemed nonsensical until I heard an interview with Don & Glenn, done when they were promoting the album, where they explained who "The Greeks" & "The Freaks" are. It looks like it's going down to defeat :-(.

I cast my vote for In The City.

[Troubadour]

I vote for The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks. Simply my least favourite from the remaining songs.

[timfan]

Strategy again..... I vote for The Long Run

[luvthelighthouse]

Strategy here too... but only to level some playing ground...

I vote for Heartache Tonight.

[sodascouts]

Oops! Guess I forgot to vote last round, but anyway

No - you just voted twice! That's against the rules. Live and learn!

I wanna purge this game of the Long Run's trinity of suck. Only one more target....

I cast my vote for The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks.

[Shadowland07]

I vote for "In The City", not really my favorite song from the album

[Brooke]

Since Greeks is going down, I cast my vote for The Sad Cafe.

[Wildthyme]

My vote this round is goes for Those Shoes.

[pueblo47]

My vote is In The City.

[Glennsallnighter]

Oooh! I'm very Busy being Fabulous this week.

Just able to pop in and vote to eliminate 'The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks'

[luvthelighthouse]

I have to say I'm shocked by all the In the City votes! :shock:

I always thought that to be a well loved song...well, at least I love it! :)

[Troubadour]

I wanna purge this game of the Long Run's trinity of suck. Only one more target...

"Trinity of suck" - LOL.

I agree, ltl, I love In The City, although I do think, if you haven't seen it live, you may not quite appreciate the sheer awesomeness of it!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I agree, ltl, I love In The City, although I do think, if you haven't seen it live, you may not quite appreciate the sheer awesomeness of it!

See that's the problem - In the City is a really good song, but so are all of the remaining ones. This game is going to really be hard for me from here on out. Of course, I like 'em all. Although I agree that the first three to go in this game are the right ones, I don't think they're the trinity of suckage that Soda does. :wink:

I'm already having a hard time figuring which way to vote, so even though this song is awesome, I guess I'll try to even things up a bit ...

I cast my vote for Those Shoes.

[sodascouts]

The third song to be voted off of The Long Run Survivor is The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks. "Greeks," It might be a while before you have a monster smile on those rosy cheeks. The tribe has spoken and it's time for you to leave the island. The rest of the songs may return to camp.

KING OF HOLLYWOOD is immune.

I vote for The Sad Cafe

[EaglesFanatic]

I vote for The Sad Cafe also

[Nobody'sBeach]

Last call, I Can't Tell You Why, you don't have to go home, but...(rules, rules, rules)

[Shadowland07]

i vote In the City

[Koala]

I cast my vote for Those Shoes.

[AzEaglesFan]

I vote for Those Shoes

[tequila girl]

IMO the worst three songs from the album have been voted off - which is great :yay:...............but now it's going to start getting difficult :hmm:

My vote this round goes to Those Shoes

[UK TimFan]

My vote is for 'The sad cafe'.

[TimothyBFan]

Sorry to all you ITC fans but it's the next on my list!

I vote for In The City.

[Brooke]

I love In The City, although I do think, if you haven't seen it live, you may not quite appreciate the sheer awesomeness of it!

I really think this is so true, Troub. In concert, ITC rocks! :headbang:

Wc, thanks for saving KOH this round. :thumbsup: This past summer (I really hate to say summer is gone. :sad: ) I've really grown to love it. Don and Glenn's voices and the guitar work is just awesome. I really think it's a very sexy song and deserves another round or two. :nod:

As for what goes next, my vote goes for The Sad Cafe. It's just a little boring.

[TimothyBFan]

I also totally agree with you guys about the whole in concert thing with In The City. It really made an impact on me first time I saw it live. But that being said, this game is about the album version and it's just not so much for me. I still think of it as a Joe Walsh song and not an Eagles also which doesn't help.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

OMG - Just as I thought, things are gonna start getting exciting around here. :thumbsup: I'm guessing there's probably not going to be much strategic voting towards the future in the next few rounds because everyone is going to have to vote to try to save their favorite songs. As I said earlier, I love In the City, The Sad Cafe, and Those Shoes. I gotta think about this some more.

[luvthelighthouse]

Dreamer, with so many people strategically voting, it makes it very interesting and exciting.

If I voted straight from the heart, my votes would have been drastically different... but I try to keep that playing field even.

There are probably four song I won't mind taking the win, so I can't imagine I'll be dissappointed at the outcome of the game.

[AmarilloByMorning]

Wow, self; way to miss the first four rounds. Whoops.

I vote for "The Sad Cafe."

[timfan]

I vote for Those Shoes

[AmarilloByMorning]

Regrettably I must pledge allegiance to "Those Shoes" in deference to the fact that it has motivated me to keep moving on many a long-distance run when I would have much preferred to curl in the corner potato bug-style. Plus, "You just want someone to talk to - they just want to get their hands on you" basically describes my life.

We should have these Survivor things more often - they're extraordinarily entertaining. Or perhaps I just enjoy arguing.... :nahnah:

[pueblo47]

My vote goes to In The City.

[eaglesvet]

My vote goes to THOSE SHOES.

[sodascouts]

I have to say, to those of you who consider "King Of Hollywood" sexy - why??? The "King of Hollywood" is a repulsive human being, and his "come-ons" alternate between veiled threats and rewards for prostitution. Not exactly a turn on.

[sodascouts]

Now THOSE SHOES - THAT is a sexy song. To those of you voting for it... OH NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT!

SAVE THOSE SHOES! VOTE FOR SAD CAFE!

I cast my vote for The Sad Cafe.

[UK TimFan]

I have to say, to those of you who consider "King Of Hollywood" sexy - why??? The "King of Hollywood" is a repulsive human being, and his "come-ons" alternate between veiled threats and rewards for prostitution. Not exactly a turn on.
Definitely not sexy, but I do consider it a very (for want of a better word) 'atmospheric' song.
The way it begins so quietly, and then builds up, with what I always think of as a sense of menace. And you can just picture the slimeball 'King'.
So in that regard, it is a very good song.
However, once the main tune starts I do think that it has a sexy 'feel' to it, and with different lyrics (something like 'Slowhand' by the Pointer Sisters, or 'I love to watch a woman dance') I think it would be dynamite. :)

[Wildthyme]

My vote this round goes to The Sad Cafe. I heard "Those Shoes" on the radio as I was headed down the freeway this afternoon so I figured there was no way I could vote for it after that :lol:

[whitcap]

I vote for Those Shoes

[luvthelighthouse]

For me, The Sad Cafe, is just too melancholy. I don't mind the lyrics, it's the music... too depressing for my taste.

Those Shoes on the other hand seems a bit more empowering. I know there are times when I wear a certain pair of shoes, it can take over my mood.

Two of my favorite Eagles lyrics are in this song:
Got those pretty little straps around your ankles
Got those shiny little chains around your heart.

So on that note, I cast my vote for The Sad Cafe!

[Troubadour]

Although it pains me to do it, I cast my vote for Those Shoes. I'm a big fan of the song, but out of the tracks left it ranks slightly below the others, for me.

As for King of Hollywood... I think the presentation of the song mirrors the situation that's being described in the lyrics. Yes, the subject matter is seedy, but it's all packaged up in a sleek, heady, shiny exterior, much like the circumstances that the girls (wannabe actresses) in the song encounter. Everything is appealing. Los Angeles must seem like a pretty cool place when you roll up there, seeking fame and fortune and adventure. All these offers from wealthy, powerful people are exciting and tempting, and you get taken in by the promises and the expensive gifts. But lurking beneath the surface is greed and exploitation. The song is dangerous, but it's delivered in a sexy, atmospheric way. I think it absolutely works and does a great job of capturing the dichotomy between the shiny surface and the dark underbelly of Hollywood for those young women seeking stardom.

The guitar work is moody, it's rhythmic and it has a heady evening vibe, the lyrics are daring and dangerous, the harmonies are smooth, and Don's vocals are SMOKIN' hot. It's sexy on some level because it's meant to be.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow troub! I was just getting ready to post something about the sexy vibe and undertone of King of Hollywood, but now I don't need to. You already read my mind. :thumbsup: I also like what UK TimFan said about how the song builds in intensity (kind of reminds you of something else, speaking of sexy :wink:).

It looks like The Sad Cafe may be on it's way out. Although there are still quite a few players that haven't voted so the outcome of this round is definitely not certain. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be around this evening so I have to vote earlier than I would like to. So as much as I hate to do this ...

I cast my vote for In the City.

[sodascouts]

Your explanations about "King of Hollywood" are well-put and make sense. I don't find fault with the music, especially the guitar. I just can't help feeling disgust and even revulsion whenever I hear the lyrics, and it detracts from the song for me.

The overlay of Glenn's falsetto adds an additional ominousness because of the unnatural sound it creates. Maybe it's meant to represent the duality of temptation; his pressure and her receptiveness to it, borne of desperation and a desire for fame that overpowers a sense of morality and personal dignity: the evil of the tempter and the corruption of the tempted. Along similar lines, the falsetto could be the "bad angel" on the shoulder whispering that the starlet should listen to Mr. KOH, that it would be worth it to comprise herself for the fame, the nice apartment and the fancy car... Only later will she find out that women like her "come and go."

[Glennsallnighter]

OMG, I'm leaving every round late at the moment!!

Ok I cast my vote for 'Those Shoes'

I tend not to want to vote strategically except when I feel I really have to!

[sodascouts]

Right now Those Shoes and The Sad Cafe are separated by only one vote.... a real nail-biter!

[Prettymaid]

TBF, may I borrow these for a minute?

http://bestsmileys.com/crying/8.gif http://bestsmileys.com/crying/2.gif http://bestsmileys.com/crying/15.gif I love In The City! I'm sad that everybody else doesn't love it as much as I do!

*sigh* Okay, I'm done.

I vote for The Sad Cafe.

[sodascouts]

OK. Now, not only are The Sad Cafe and Those Shoes tied, but they have the same amount of PRIOR votes. There will have to be a tie-breaker question unless someone breaks the tie before the round is over!

[Eve]

My vote
Those Shoes.

[sodascouts]

OK guys - currently in deliberations as to whether or not Eve got her vote in on time - I will post my decision shortly!

[AmarilloByMorning]

Nancy I suppose it's illegal to reiterate my previous vote? Sigh.

Cathy, I love In the City! It features one of my absolute favorite Eagles lyrics: "Somewhere out on that horizon, out beyond those neon lights, I know there must be something better, but there's nowhere else in sight." It shoots me straight to my youth as a city rat.

What's with the Those Shoes apathy? A thick, beating background; classic Henley imagery constructing the song's protagonist; a snide societal commentary buried beneath a narrative...

Yeah I too Love ITC! I think there's a great beat to it, and again, seeing it live is spectacular!

[sodascouts]

OK, decision made. It was only seconds after the clock struck 8:00, but it was after it nonetheless.

And thus.... the results for round four are still up in the air.

There's a tie between Those Shoes and The Sad Cafe (8 votes each), and a tie between their prior votes (2 each). Thus, we need a tie-breaker question. The first to answer correctly will determine which song gets eliminated.

Tie-breaker question:

In addition to Glenn Frey and Don Henley, which songwriter(s) co-wrote "Heartache Tonight"?

INCLUDE WHICH SONG YOU WANT TO BE ELIMINATED IN YOUR ANSWER OR IT WON'T COUNT.

Voting for Round 5 begins after the following immunity question is answered:

Which song has three separate guitar solos, each played by a different Eagle?

Remember to include both your answer and the song you want immune in order for it to be counted.

[Wildthyme]

King of Hollywood

In The City Immune

[Glennsallnighter]

Nice Immunity Cami :thumbsup:

[sodascouts]

You got it right, Wildthyme. ;)

IN THE CITY is immune.

Round 5 starts NOW!

[EagleLady]

I can't believe that sucky, Sad Cafe Stayed. I vote off The Sad Cafe

[GlennLover]

I cast my vote for "The Sad Cafe".

Sorry I missed the last round.

[sodascouts]

Me too, GL! Ah, Those Shoes, I weep for your loss! :weep: :weep: :weep:

[Glennsallnighter]

Me too, GL! Ah, Those Shoes, I weep for your loss! :weep: :weep: :weep:

Awwww sorry Nancy! :hug: But of the two on offer, I preferred the Sad Cafe! And I like honesty!! :wink:

[sodascouts]

What's with the Those Shoes apathy? A thick, beating background; classic Henley imagery constructing the song's protagonist; a snide societal commentary buried beneath a narrative...


I'm with you, girl! But alas, it's gone, and we must move on. ;)

Good to see you 'round these parts again!

[luvthelighthouse]

Wow, great round. Unfortunately, one of my very favorite songs has been voted off much too early, but that does not lessen my love for it.

PM, I also do not understand the lack of love for ITC, but I'm happy it's immune this round!

Not sure what to do with my vote, so I'll hold off for now. KOH seems a little dated to me... but I really dislike SC. Thinking even more deeply... it's one of the rare songs I almost always skip or can't listen to the whole way through.

If anyone has any good arguements to keep one over the other, I'm game to listen.

[UK TimFan]

My vote is for 'The sad cafe'.

[sodascouts]

HOLD UP.

I miscounted. I forgot to count my own vote. Turns out the Sad Cafe should have gone.

So, now we have a problem. Restart the round or just keep going? What do you guys think? We have to decide soon... what a mess!!!

OK, I'm gonna put a freeze on the game until tomorrow night at 8:00 pm. Let's hear your thoughts.

Please vote:
1) Eliminate Sad Cafe, reinstate Those Shoes, and restart the round completely including a new immunity question.
2) Eliminate Sad Cafe, reinstate Those Shoes, restart the round... but carry over the immunity question result.
3) Resume the game as it is.

Whatever we do now will set a precedent to be followed for future Survivor games if this should ever happen again. Hopefully, of course, that will never be the case!

[EaglesFanatic]

I vote #2!

[AmarilloByMorning]

I second the motion for #2.

[UK TimFan]

Oh Soda. :hug:

I would say, option 2, as 'The sad cafe' got more votes and the immunity question was won fairly. However... it could be that the person who won the immunity question might want to save the re-instated song, in this case 'Those shoes'. So I think it would be fair to offer the option of changing the immunity to the re-instated song.

[TimothyBFan]

WOW--did I ever miss out on all the drama!!

I have to agree, I think #2 is the only fair option at this point but what UKTim said also....give her the option to change the immuned song.


BTW....


As for King of Hollywood... I think the presentation of the song mirrors the situation that's being described in the lyrics. Yes, the subject matter is seedy, but it's all packaged up in a sleek, heady, shiny exterior, much like the circumstances that the girls (wannabe actresses) in the song encounter. Everything is appealing. Los Angeles must seem like a pretty cool place when you roll up there, seeking fame and fortune and adventure. All these offers from wealthy, powerful people are exciting and tempting, and you get taken in by the promises and the expensive gifts. But lurking beneath the surface is greed and exploitation. The song is dangerous, but it's delivered in a sexy, atmospheric way. I think it absolutely works and does a great job of capturing the dichotomy between the shiny surface and the dark underbelly of Hollywood for those young women seeking stardom.

What she said!!!!!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - if this were a professional sport, and there was a mistake, the game would resume as it is. However, since it's not I would also vote for #2 with the same caveat that UK TimFan mentioned. To try to be as fair as possible to everyone, I think we should proceed as follows:

Eliminate The Sad Cafe, Reinstate Those Shoes, Restart the new round, give the winner of the last immunity question the option to change the song they want to make immune.

I think we have to give the winner the option to change the immunity question, especially if we want to make this a precedent for the future. If this were ever to happen again, the next time the song that twas made immune could be the one that should have been previously eliminated, so the winner would have to select another song to be immune.

[Koala]

I also vote for #2!

[Wildthyme]

Well I vote for #2. But it does create a conundrum for me because now I want to protect two songs I really like this round. However, had I had the option at the time I would have most likely chosen Those Shoes. So if the decision is made to go with option 2 with the caveat that I get to change my choice then I would like select Those Shoes for immunity instead.

[pueblo47]

Option #2

[Prettymaid]

:ack: As happy as I am to have ITC immune, WT should have the option to have Those Shoes included in her immunity options. :cry:

[Eve]

#2
But Wildthyme should be able to change the immune song if she so chooses.

[Glennsallnighter]

Well on the surface its #2. But another option is to include Eve's vote as well - the one that the time was in dispute of. He computer clock may just have been slightly slower or something. Then with Soda's vote as well, its still a tie? So we just maintain the Status quo as is? Just a suggestion. of course in future games this would not really be a precedent.

[sodascouts]

GA, I'm afraid we can't pretend Eve cast her vote before the stroke of 8:00 just to make this conundrum go away. Board time is the standard because it's the same for everyone. It's the only fair way. If you're going to wait until the last minute to vote, it's your responsibility to make sure your "last minute" aligns with the board's "last minute." My "deliberations" were spent looking over old games to see if there was a precedent, and when I couldn't find one, I set it. ;)

Looks like #2 so far... we'll see!

[Nobody'sBeach]

As in any/all fair and legitimate competitions, all aspects affecting the outcome must be considered in the event of a “do over”.

Nobody’s perfect and human error is certainly a given (no offense), and everyone is entitled to make an honest mistake periodically.

That being said, I’ll go with #2, allowing Wildthyme to choose the song receiving immunity.

Precedents aside…life is not fair, but we’re on The Border.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well, IMO, life may not be fair, but that's because you can hardly ever reach a concensus about what fair means on any given issue. Everyone has their own intrepretation of what fair is so that's why it's impossible to try to please all the people all the time. But, I totally agree with Soda about using the board clock to establish the official time for the game. I can't personally see anything unfair about saying that all votes must be in before the board clock strikes 8:00 p.m. EST. I guess if Cinderella had a deadline, then we can live with one here as well. :thumbsup:

[Nobody'sBeach]

OMG! Those Shoes..........................................aga in!

[timfan]

As most everyone else, I am also in favour of the 2nd option as long as WT has the option to change her immunity song. It seems to me to be the only fair route to go IMO.

[luvthelighthouse]

To be honest, I think #1 is the most fair. The votes were miscounted (it happens - that is why Soda lists everyone's vote, incase there is an error), so it should be a fresh start and give everyone a chance to pick up where we left off - at the end of last round.

However, since most people like option #2, I will not agrue against it. I do feel Cami should be able to change the song she wants immune though, since she should have all songs "in play" to be able to choose from.

[Glennsallnighter]

GA, I'm afraid we can't pretend Eve cast her vote before the stroke of 8:00 just to make this conundrum go away. Board time is the standard because it's the same for everyone. It's the only fair way.

My "deliberations" were spent looking over old games to see if there was a precedent, and when I couldn't find one, I set it. ;)

Looks like #2 so far... we'll see!

Oh no! I totally understand Soda! I would run then with option 2. Will you definitely announce a decision on this, or will we just start replaying anyway?

[Glennsallnighter]

OK! In case I don't get in tomorrow before the deadline I vote this round to eliminate 'Kings of Hollywood' (Sorry Lou!)

[sodascouts]

The round will officially restart at 8:00 Eastern. Barring a sudden surge of players arguing differently, we'll go with option 2, with the immunity changed to Those Shoes.

That means everyone who has voted so far will have to re-vote, so please withhold your votes until then.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for being so understanding, guys.

[sodascouts]

In the most discombobulated results round in the history of the Survivor games on this board....

The fourth song to be voted off of The Long Run Survivor is The Sad Cafe. Sorry, "Sad Cafe," fortune didn't smile upon you after all. The tribe has spoken and it's time for you to leave the island. The rest of the songs may return to camp.

You guys are killing me!!! What is so bad about King Of Hollywood? In my opinion (for what it's worth), KOH is one of the best songs on this album.

SAVE KING OF HOLLYWOOD!!!

I vote for In The City.

[Koala]

I cast my vote for In The City .

[AmarilloByMorning]

King of Hollywood reminds me of my law firm days, brimming with ambition and motivation to make a positive impact on the world and realizing the Powers That Be would blunt my efforts at every turn unless I engaged in certain extracurricular activities. Nothing sexy, attractive or even remotely appealing about it. (Though it does prove slightly inspirational insofar as revvinging the fight-or-flight response and low-grade homicidal impulses.) In spite of the lyrics, I do not much care for the melody, either. It's one I always skipped - reads like a cheesy '80s song from a B-grade movie with the kitsch echo effects and useless repetition. By contrast, Those Shoes actually has the sexy undertone to it - the narrator acknowledges that she "gets whatever [she] choose[s]."

I vote for King of Hollywood.

(Cracks knuckles and goes to stand behind Those Shoes.)

[UK TimFan]

[EagleLady]

What is with the hate against In The City?

[Prettymaid]

I also totally agree with you guys about the whole in concert thing with In The City. It really made an impact on me first time I saw it live. But that being said, this game is about the album version and it's just not so much for me. I still think of it as a Joe Walsh song and not an Eagles also which doesn't help.

But it is an Eagles song! The fantastic oohs and ah-ha's showcase the Eagles unique harmonies. I love the way the song starts with the DA-DA, DA-DA guitar chords. Joe's vocals are as good as he gets. Did I read here somewhere (from Mike, I think) that this vocal is the highest Joe ever wrote for himself? When the song reaches the point of that high note you are rooting for Joe to hit it, and he always does! The guitar solo is excellent and the gritty lyrics achieve their goal of making you feel how hard city life is.

On the other hand, King of Hollywood has that repetitive guitar work throughout so that after awhile it gets boring. I hate Glenn's vocals on this song, he's practically talking instead of singing, which leads to the fact that the song isn't very melodic. Granted, there is some good guitar work, but the song seems so long that it takes forever to get to it. Yes, it does a good job of depicting the seedy world of Hollywood, but I don't like "seedy" and I don't like feeling like I have to take a shower after I listen to a song.

[TimothyBFan]

I don't like feeling like I have to take a shower after I listen to a song.

I do!!! http://bestsmileys.com/expressions/9.gif

[Prettymaid]

Lol!

[UK TimFan]

What is with the hate against In The City?
What is with the hate against King of Hollywood? :)

[AmarilloByMorning]

What is with the hate against King of Hollywood? :)
I think it's actually hate against the insinuation that we're expected to sleep with our so-called superiors to obtain employment. Mere speculation on my part.

[Troubadour]

The opinions on King Of Hollywood are interesting. I understand them, but I don't really get the 'ick' factor when I think about the song itself, because the song is criticising this kind of power play and exploitation. The "King" is the only one who comes off as pathetic and dirty - not the women.

Having said that, I might surprise a few people here (including myself), when I cast my vote for that very song - King Of Hollywood. I love it, but I think the remaining songs - bar Those Shoes, which is immune - are probably slightly superior. I absolutely adore In The City. The guitar work is incredible, as are the harmonies - I love Joe's raw vocals. It seriously rocks live, and it gets me going every time I hear it. That last minute or so of the song is on another level. I can't bring myself to vote for it right now, not even to save King Of Hollywood.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I don't like feeling like I have to take a shower after I listen to a song.

I agree with Willie! :thumbsup:

As far as anyone hating these song, I must have missed something. I don't recall anyone saying that they hated either of them. It's just that we're at that time in the game where everything left is a good song. But something has to go, so people have to vote off songs even if they like them.

[Brooke]

I have to say, to those of you who consider "King Of Hollywood" sexy - why??? The "King of Hollywood" is a repulsive human being, and his "come-ons" alternate between veiled threats and rewards for prostitution. Not exactly a turn on.

Soda, I really meant that the performance of KOH was what I find sexy. Not the man himself! Ick! :lol:

The guitar work is moody, it's rhythmic and it has a heady evening vibe, the lyrics are daring and dangerous, the harmonies are smooth, and Don's vocals are SMOKIN' hot. It's sexy on some level because it's meant to be.

Troub-I wish I could talk like you. You are very eloquent and spot on. :thumbsup:

Willie, you silly girl! :hilarious:

And now to continue on. Sorry I missed all the mess, but glad I get another chance for this round!

Another thought about KOH. I don't dwell on the subject matter of a song. It's the voices and the music that first tell me whether to like a song or not. But that's just me. Everyone's different.

So, for this round, I vote for I Can't Tell You Why.

[Prettymaid]

As far as anyone hating these song, I must have missed something. I don't recall anyone saying that they hated either of them.

Well...I did say I hated Glenn's vocals in KOH :blush:. Okay, 'hate' is such a strong word, but I really, really dislike his vocals there.

I vote for King of Hollywood.

The only reason I even posted anything is because this seems to come up in just about every Survivor game - just because people are voting for a song doesn't mean they hate it. At some point in every Survivor game, all the songs are good, but ya gotta vote for them anyway. It's no biggie though - just caught me at a bad moment I guess. :wink:

Wow!! I sure have missed out on some very interesting action in this game. Sorry i've missed the last few rounds.

I've gotten caught up but i'm just a little bit confused. Am I still eligible to vote this round? Or is it only the people that were involved in the last round that can vote right now? If I can still vote i'd like to vote for King Of Hollywood. It doesn't look like it would need my help but i've made my list and i'm sticking to it.

Jess - you are definitely eligible to vote in this round. Any Border member can vote once in any round whether you voted in previous rounds or not. :thumbsup:

No Jess, I'm sorry the new rule is that anyone who is voting for King Of Hollywood is not eligible to vote!! :lie:

And since King of Hollywood is going down, I am going to level the playing field like ltl did. So ...

Okay – the tribe has spoken and the next song to be eliminated from The Long Run Survivor is “King of Hollywood”. Well, King of Hollywood – For years we’ve seen ‘em come and go. I guess the man just wasn’t big enough because it’s.your time to go. Please leave the island immediately.

I guess I have no other choice but to vote for Those Shoes.

[pueblo47]

My vote is The Long Run.

[Brooke]

I vote for I Can't Tell You Why.

[Prettymaid]

Why all the hate for The Long Run? :nahnah: Sorry Dreamer, I couldn't resist! :hilarious:

[EaglesFanatic]

I cast my vote for Heartache Tonight.
Man, you're all killing me with voting for Those Shoes! :weep: That is an amazing song!

[luvthelighthouse]

Usually, by now, I know what song "I" want to win. However, I'm at a point in the game where I like and appreciate all the songs for different reasons.

ITC is immune, so I can't vote for it, even if I wanted to. However, I've always loved this song! "somewhere out on that horizon"... I just love it! Maybe because I'm a city girl, IDK.

ICTYW - No matter how many times I've hear it, those first opening notes of the song reach my soul. They take me back to my youth and hearing that song. It's so smokey and emotional. The huskiness of the music contrasted with Tim's smooth voice... oh yeah, love it!

TLR - I forget how much I love this song, because it's fun to sing along with. It has nice flow.

HT - Great vocals a nice rocker

TS - This is another song that is sexy. The vocals are amazing! The story, the lyrics... one of my overall favorite Eagles songs.

I can not decide on a vote yet! Help! lol

[AmarilloByMorning]

I vote for "I Can't Tell You Why." Much as I enjoy Tim's voice, it seems as though they always stick him with cheesy love songs I would not so much as tolerate performed by anyone other than the Eagles. Begone!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Why all the hate for The Long Run? :nahnah: Sorry Dreamer, I couldn't resist! :hilarious:

Okay, PM - I have only one thing to say to you ... :steviesmack:

(I have to admit - that was funny).

I agree with most everything you said about each song, ltl. However, I do know what order I would like to see the songs finish in. I will say though that my least favorite of the remaining songs is In the City, but that is immune. My next least favorite is Those Shoes so that's what I'm hoping will go down this round. If that happens, I'm crossing my fingers that someone will make The Long Run immune next round instead of In the City because I think it is one of the top three songs on the album.

So now, take that, PM ... :steviesmack:

:lol:

[eaglesvet]

Well, I'll help ya along, Dreamer. I vote for THOSE SHOES. My least favorite of those left, by a long shot. Sorry for those who still think of it higher than that.

[tequila girl]

Wow I go away for a couple of days and I miss all the excitement! :brickwall: :hilarious:

I vote this time for Those Shoes

[UK TimFan]

After a lot of deliberation, my vote this time is for 'The long run'.
'Twas a tough decision though.

[Troubadour]

I cast my vote for Those Shoes.

[Nobody'sBeach]

I Can't Tell You Why - time for you to fly...



on a side note...please don't throw away Those Shoes.

[AzEaglesFan]

I didn't see that I had voted this round, so I vote for Those Shoes. This is moving so fast I can't keep up.

[Prettymaid]

I try to look at all of the songs objectively, but there's a reason some songs become 'hits' and others don't. I consider all of the remaining songs hits except for Those Shoes. It doesn't seem like it will need my vote to go, so I'll vote for The Long Run.

[whitcap]

I vote for those shoes

[luvthelighthouse]

I can't vote for TS, as it's a personal favorite.

I Vote for Heartache Tonight. It's a good song... and I may not vote for it next round... but today, I'm feeling more love for the other songs.

[Wildthyme]

This is not an easy vote and I have changed my mind several times because I really love each one of the songs left but ultimately I think I have to vote this round for Those Shoes.

[sodascouts]

Those Shoes is a personal favorite of mine, too - and perhaps if it had been released as a single it also would have been a "hit." You never know!

At any rate, if Those Shoes is going to be saved, there has to be several more votes for the second-to-last song, The Long Run. With that in mind....

SAVE THOSE SHOES!! VOTE FOR THE LONG RUN!!!

As do I.

I cast my vote for The Long Run.

[Eve]

I vote for Those Shoes.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

First of all, I have been having problems getting on the board for about the last 20 minutes. I couldn't even get on to cast my vote. But, hopefully, everything is okay now and there won't be anymore problems. If this post goes through, I'll post the results of Round 6 momentarily.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I can't tell you why immune

[Ive always been a dreamer]

That's correct again, wc.

I Can't Tell You Why is immune.

Voting for Round Seven begins now.

[Prettymaid]

Okay, I'll get this party started. I vote for The Long Run. A good song, but not a great song like the remaining three.

Vote for In the City!!!

(BTW - I am not casting my vote yet - gotta see how this goes down.)

[Koala]

I cast my vote for The Long Run. I like the song but I like the other 3 remaining songs even more!

[WalshFan88]

I vote for The Long Run.

[Glennsallnighter]

I HAVE to save 'Heartache Tonight' And anyone who has seen it live would want to do the same. I cast my vote for 'The Long Run'. Yes, its a very good song no doubt about it, BUT HT and ITC are just BETTER!!!!

[tequila girl]

IMO All of the remaining songs are great! but...............this round I vote for In the city because I love it just marginally less than HT and TLR

[TimothyBFan]

Thank you, thank you, thank you WC!!

Save Heartache Tonight & The Long Run
Vote for In The City

I vote for In The City

[Brooke]

I'm with you here.

Save The Long Run and Heartache Tonight!


Vote for IN THE CITY!

Better clarify-my vote is for In the City!

[eaglesvet]

I'm with Willie and Brooke...I vote for IN THE CITY!

[Prettymaid]

Nice try PM - good way to try to save In the City!!! :wink: :wink:



Why Dreamer, whatever do you mean? :blush:

Now don't get me wrong - I like all of the remaining songs. I'm just going to tell you why I like The Long Run the least. For me, it's just a little mundane compared to the others. Even ICTYW, the ballad of the bunch, has a lot more going for it than TLR. And In The City? Come on guys, it's no contest. TLR just trudges along - ITC rocks! And it is an Eagles song!!!

Just what is that suppose to mean....EVEN ICTYW? :steviesmack:

[luvthelighthouse]

This is probably the hardest survivor for me. I can not choose which song to vote for next.

Right now, I'm pretty much going on how do I feel about song X today, or at this very minute.

TLR, HT and ITC are all very different, but all very good.

Right now, I'm turn between TLR and HT. I was very sad to see Those Shoes gone... I'm not sure I can handle ITC being gone as well.

I know this has been brought up before too... when all things are equal, we take other things into consideration... so right now, do I consider the fact that Seger and Souther co-wrote HT? Then again, didn't Joe have a non Eagle co-writer for ITC?

UGH!

Any solid agruements for any of the remaining three? What makes one better than an another? I guess it just comes down to personal preference, eh?

[Troubadour]

I vote for In The City. Simply my least favourite (by a small margin) out of the remaining songs. It's very, very difficult to separate them, although I would love to see The Long Run stay in at least another round. As well as being the title track of this album, I think it's a really important song in Eagles history. The fact that they have stood the test of time, despite going through some tough periods (not least while this song and album was being recorded) makes me happy. The lyrics speak volumes.

[EagleLady]

I agree with Lou. While I will be upset if ITC Goes, I'd rather have TLR Stay. IMO

[Brooke]

UGH!


Great arguments here, ltlh. I totally agree with you on this. And when it comes down to separating these last 4 songs (including ICTYW, TBF), a song written by only the Eagles are going to be my top picks.

Or my top pick might be the song I like best! :headscratch: :pace: :crazy:

[luvthelighthouse]

Troub, I like what you have to say about TLR! I didn't even consider the fact that they chose it as the albums title or the importance behind it. :thumbsup:

[Prettymaid]

I base my decisions in this game purely on the music and lyrics of the song. I'd make myself crazy if I tried to base it on anything else. Now if you say that you like the songs equally and you need something else to base your decision on, then I guess I can understand taking other things into consideration. Fortunately I don't have that problem. I don't like any of them exactly the same. They are all on different levels.
