This is the sound of my brain.
Then I said, this is the sound of my brain on Don Henley!
Then I said, 1 2 3 4...
He's a tortured artist
Used to be in the Eagles
Now he whines
Like a wounded beagle
Poet of despair!
Pumped up with hot air!
He's serious, pretentious
And I just don't care
Don Henley must die!
Don't let him get back together
With Glenn Frey!
Don Henley must die!
Turn on the TV
And what did I see?
This bloated hairy thing
Winning a Grammy
Best Rock Vocalist?
Compared to what?
But your pseudo-serious
Crafty Satanic blot
Don Henley must die!
Put a sharp stick in his eye!
Don Henley must die!
Yea yea yea
Quit playin' that crap
You're out of the band
I'm only kidding
Can't you tell?
I love his sensitive music
Idiot poetry, swell
You and your kind
Are killing rock and roll
It's not because you are O L D
It's cause you ain't got no soul!
Don't be afraid of fun
Loosen up your ponytail!
Be wild, young, free and dumb
Get your head out of your tail
Don Henley must die!
Don't let him get back together
With Glenn Frey!
Don Henley must die!
Put him in the electric chair
Watch him fry!
Don Henley must die
Don Henley must die
No Eagles reunion
The same goes for you, Sting!

Same here. But it's nice to take the time to laugh too! Enjoyed the funny break Bill ;) |
| kazuma (Austin, TX) | Posted: Jun 07, 2006 - 09:57 If I'm not mistaken, Henley actually joined Mojo onstage for a duet of this song in a small Austin club (Hole in the Wall, maybe?) many moons ago. Edit: Yoinks, I see below that someone beat me to it and did a much more thorough job to boot. Edit #2: From (click here) http://holeinthewalltx.tripod.com/chronology.html: 1992 August - Don Henley surprises Mojo Nixon onstage to sing with him on "Don Henley Must Die". |

I LOVE "Boys of Summer" and I still completely cracked up and think it was a brilliant programming choice (actually on the part of scottfromwyoming as Bill just pointed out. Laughing is good!!! |

From the song comments for Jello Biafra & Mojo Nixon's "Are You Drinkin' With Me, Jesus": steeler wrote: Mojo Nixon used to do a song, with Skid Roper, called Don Henley Must Die. One time when he was playing it, Don Henley was there, and came on stage and sang backup vocals. Mojo later said that he would no longer play the song because he found Don to be a good guy. Check out the lyrics to Don Henley Must Die sometime, and you'll see how funny it was that Henley sang backup vocals.
And... tracenik wrote: I believe Mojo Nixon's exact words were, "The man's got balls the size of church bells." :)
He still does the song, but now it's called, "Phil Collins Must Die." No argument from me there. "Phil Collins Must Die"... now THERE'S a song I could really get into!

Evidently he thinks it's funny. Legend has it that he sang it onstage with Mojo at least once. |
| RosieRedfield (Vancouver) | Posted: Jun 07, 2006 - 09:38 How about the one about barbeque? |
| ploba | Posted: Jun 07, 2006 - 09:38 come on - this just sucks |
| Beastie (Living with 22 million+, same city) | Posted: Jun 07, 2006 - 09:37 Although the song is good, it sounds like a spoilt brat complaining about his parents' music tastes. |

| Marqdyeth | Posted: Jun 07, 2006 - 09:37 I was listening to Boys of Summer thinking, "wow, I haven't heard this in a while, it takes me back." Then the Mojo Nixon follow-up cracked me up. Fabulous! |
| Peyote (heaven) | Posted: Jun 07, 2006 - 09:36 OMG I haven't heard that in FOREVER!! |

| Zarba (Atlanta, GA USA) | Posted: Jun 07, 2006 - 09:35 Perfect programming! I love RP! Now, if you'll only add "Elvis is Everywhere", I'll be happy. Or maybe "Debbie Gibson is Pregnant With My Two-Headed Love Child". |
| camworld (New York, NY) | Posted: Jun 07, 2006 - 09:34 I wonder what Don Henley thinks of this song. |
