That wouldn't work- they're not the exact lyrics.

The real ones go

Take it easy, take it easy, don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.

TK

The Eagles, Take It Easy.

Gah

TK

Arrgh! Not the Eagles!!!

Lalalalalala I'm not listening llalalalalalal

I take it you don't like the Eagles then. I'm not a major fan, but there's certainly worse out there, and they have done a couple of decent tracks.

TK

I'll take your word for it

Like the Bangels, the Eagles was one of those classic bands I never got into.

Like the Eagles, the Bangles are one of those classic bands I'm not obsessed about, but like one or two of their songs.

Though the Eagles are/ were a much bigger band than the Bangles. By that, I mean they have a larger fan- following (by 'fan', I mean people who actually buy their albums, know stuff about them and maybe even obsess about them, rather than people like me who just have Take it Easy and Hotel California on mp3)

TK

I've heard so many great punk covers of Hotel California... NoFX did the best one though

NoFX.........<?>

TK

Just one of the random punk bands I've found who occasionally turn out a good song...If you're into downloading music, have a look for their song called 'Bob'

AH, punk... I'm assuming this is one of the modern 'punk' bands which don't actually have anything in common with real punk.

I've probably heard some of their songs. Sounds like exactly the type of stuff that pumps out of the computer room at home at volumes far to loud to appreciate. I haven't heard much that my brother terms as 'punk' that I can listen to without wanting to throttle some sense into the youth of today.

TK

They're an American punk band, probaby on the verge of being 10ish years old. Just like any punk band most of their stuff sounds the same. Just like any american punk band, they sound like an odd mix of the Clash, the Sex Pistols and the Ramones. They're bearable, none of this Good Charploppe, Avril Blavinge cr#p.

Hmmm.... American punk band.... you're not selling them to me

TK

I wouldn't try to... American "punk" is rubbish. I just like 'Bob'... great humour in that song... Almost ska at some points. Heck, it's original, it doen't happen in America!!

Fair enough.
