I cast my vote for The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks.
I vote for "In The City", not really my favorite song from the album
Since Greeks is going down, I cast my vote for The Sad Cafe.
My vote this round is goes for Those Shoes.
My vote is In The City.
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'
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! :)
"Trinity of suck" - LOL.Quote:

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:Quote:

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.

I vote for Those Shoes
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
My vote is for 'The sad cafe'.
Sorry to all you ITC fans but it's the next on my list!
I vote for In The City.
I really think this is so true, Troub. In concert, ITC rocks! :headbang:Quote:

As for what goes next, my vote goes for The Sad Cafe. It's just a little boring.
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.
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.
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.
Wow, self; way to miss the first four rounds. Whoops.
I vote for "The Sad Cafe."
I vote for Those Shoes
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:
My vote goes to In The City.
My vote goes to THOSE SHOES.
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.
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.
Definitely not sexy, but I do consider it a very (for want of a better word) 'atmospheric' song.Quote:

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. :)
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:
I vote for Those Shoes
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!
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.
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.
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."
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!
