The lyrics Joe Walsh knew never belonged in his song: “They’re kind of dumb”Joe Walsh didn’t make the kind of music that most people needed to think too hard about. But even with some of the greatest songs of his generation, Walsh felt that there were more than a few songs where things could get too goofy. Then again, the idea of Walsh being too goofy was an oxymoron in many ways. And I was thinking, ‘Well, they’re kind of dumb, and the song will either be looked at as a satirical, funny song or it’s gonna not be funny at all, and it’ll go down the toilet as one of the worst things ever written.’” It does hold the distinction of having the biggest rock and roll clichés put together into one song, but Walsh is the perfect example of why clichés just work sometimes.
