Daily Question 1

Connect





Answer in a day

Quoting Kaushik, who in turn was quoting Wiki:

Connect:Hotel California(song) - The Eagles
visual 1-album art for the album Hotel California
visual 2-Steely Dan
visual 3-The Eagles

To quote wiki,"The use of the word "steely" in the lyric (referring to knives) was a playful nod to band Steely Dan, who had included the lyric "Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening" in their famous song "Everything You Did".

Cracked by 5 quizzers, and although boneywasawarriorwayayix got the connect, he didnt get the story behind the 'steely' part and therefore, no credit.

In response to jeoffrey blacks question, obviously you cant be stopped from using image search tools, but it would be much appreciated if you desisted.

Also, as a request: Junta, please write your names after your answers if the same is not obvious in your ID.

THE CONNECT -
Quote from wiki -
in the title track -
"The use of the word "steely" in the lyric (referring to knives) was a playful nod to band Steely Dan, who had included the lyric "Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening" in their famous song "Everything You Did""

THE CONFESSION -
I used an image search pic 2 as I had no idea who those guys were

I would seriously appreciate an official policy statement regarding the use of image searches for the online quizzes

Regards...

pic 1: Hotel California,Todos Santos,Mexico
pic 2: Steely Dan
pic 3: Eagles

connection: the lyrics of Hotel California give reference to the band Steely Dan ('they stab it with their steely knives...') as a nod to Steely Dan who had mentioned the Eagles in one of their famous songs

Yaaay! first answer! Hotel California had a line: stab it with their "steely" knives. reference to steely dan who in their song "everything you did" referred to the eagles "Turn up the eagles, the neighbours are listening". the pics are hotel cal, steely and eagles in that order.
