Probably some dude said something about how, like, they hate the fuckin’ Eagles, man.

I’m sure glad it was in a country with no guns.

This is the only Eagles song worth a damn (imo) and it’s all because of Douglas Adams.

Came here hoping to find this, thank you.

Didn’t even need to click through to know what that is. Great tune.

Humans disappoint me almost continually, but I do <3 the irony here.

The brawl probably broke out because the Eagles were playing “Take it Easy.”

Nice to see people here aren’t above generalizing

Oh, I always assumed that was by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Cool.

When they were making the radio series, Adams wanted a song that had a banjo, as he felt that instrument would give it a hitchhikery vibe.

It’s been the theme ever since.

Agreed. The only Eagles song I can tolerate.

Honestly didn’t know that was an Eagles tune!
Just spent ten minutes youtubing it.
Thought it was just from the soundtrack.

I am going to sound terribly naive here, but are there any better Eagles tunes?
Other, I mean, than the usual country stuff.

Nah, there’s a few good ones. May or may not be these (someone had to do it, given the video and the context)…

I guess they brawled after the thrill is gone, but only a certain kind of fool is so already gone they find themselves out of control. But a peaceful easy feeling is hard to find if you chug all night so most of us are sad - too much heartache tonight when idiots like this take it to the limit. But I can’t tell you why they ain’t going to teenage jail.

(I could go on - sorry, I was bored. I’ll show myself out.)

Life in the Fast Lane.

Or this- the eagles suck less when they’re a backup band for Linda Ronstadt.
