#RuinAnEaglesSong


Creating a popular song is a little like catching lightning in a bottle. There are so many moving parts to a song (melody, words, instrumental arrangement, the mood of the zeitgeist at the moment...) and it can only take a little difference in one of those variables for a song to go from a big hit to a big flop.

Consider these first attempts at song titles by one of the best-selling groups of all time, The Eagles.
