Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What song is this opening lyric from: "Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day"?

Answer: Already Gone

"Already Gone" was the first single to be released off of the "On The Border" album in 1974. The album went gold and reached the Top Ten that year while the song also reached the Top 20 during the same time. NOTE: There seems to be some conflicting info on the chart position of this song. The source I got most of all the info from for this quiz which is MSN Entertainment-Music The Eagles,

2. What song is this lyric from: "Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone"?

Answer: Desperado

"Desperado" was the title track to the Eagles' second album that was released in 1973. Even though the song was never released as a single, it became one of the band's better-known songs and was included on its first hits collection.

3. True or False. The lyric, 'Nothing's wrong as far as I can see, we make it harder than it has to be', is from the song "I Can't Tell You Why".

Answer: True

From "The Long Run" album, this song became a Top Ten hit, and a definite hit favorite of mine!

4. What song matches this lyric: "You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave"?

Answer: Hotel California

"Hotel California" won the 1977 Grammy for "Record of the Year" and was nominated for "Song of the Year" that same year.

5. Finish this lyric: "I've been searching for the daughter of......"?

Answer: the devil himself

This lyric is from the song "One Of These Nights". Also, this song is from and is the title name of the Eagles' fourth album which has been classified as an out-of-the-box smash. The title track along with "Lyin' Eyes" and "Take It To The Limit" hit the Top Five in 1975.

The Eagles also earned a Grammy nomination for "Album of the Year" in 1975. That same year in December, it was announced that Bernie Leadon (the band's singer/guitarist/banjoist/mandolinist) had quit the band and that Joe Walsh was brought in as his replacement.

6. The lyric, "Somebody's gonna hurt someone before the night is through", is from which of the following songs?

Answer: Heartache Tonight

"Heartache Tonight" was the lead-off single from "The Long Run" album (released in 1979), and it also hit the number one spot on the charts.

7. Finish this opening lyric: "Every night I'm lyin' in bed holdin' you......"?

Answer: close in my dreams

This lyric comes from yet another hit favorite of mine, "The Best Of My Love". It hit #1 on the easy listening charts in 1975, and also topped the pop charts that year. It's from the Eagles' "On The Border" album that was released in 1974.

8. Match the song, "Lyin' Eyes", with one of the following lyrics:

Answer: "And it breaks her heart to think her love is only given to a man with hands as cold as ice"

"Lyin' Eyes" won the 1975 Grammy Award for "Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo, Group, or Chorus". That same year, the Eagles also earned the Grammy nomination for "Record of the Year" for this song.

9. True or False. The Eagles' song "Heartache Tonight" was a winner of a Grammy award?

Answer: True

Yes, it won the 1979 Grammy for "Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal".

10. Does the song "Take It To The Limit" contain the following lyrics: "He said, 'Call the doctor, I think I'm gonna crash..' 'The doctor say he's comin' but you gotta pay him cash.'"?

Answer: no

These lyrics are from the song "Life In The Fast Lane" which is off of the album "Hotel California". I think it's a great upbeat song that should've hit number one on the charts, but it didn't. It did, however, make the Top 20. A little interesting info: In January of 1998, The Eagles appeared together for their introduction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with their five present members performing alongside their past members, Leadon and Meisner. Well, that's it! Thanks for playing, I hope you enjoyed it!
