The ninth track of the Eagles' sixth album, The Long Run, released in 1979.

LYRICS:

There was beer all over the dance floor

and the band was playin' rhythm and blues

You got down and did the gator, and half

an hour later, you were barfin' all over your

Girlfriend's shoes.

But the Greeks don't want no freaks.

The Greeks don't want no freaks

Just put a little smile on them rosy

cheeks,

'Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks.

(GATOR!!)

She was the pride and the passion of Dixie

She did exactly what her daddy had planned.

She was perfect little sister until somebody missed

her and they found her in the bushes with

the boys in the band

But the Greeks don't want no freaks

The Greeks don't want no freaks

So put a great big smile on them rosy cheeks,

'Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks

No, the Greeks don't want no freaks

Said, the Greeks don't want no freaks

Just put that monster smile on them rosy cheeks

'Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks

No, the Greeks don't want no freaks,

Ahh...

I read somewhere that Henley said "I Wish You Peace" was the worst song they ever recorded. Apparently he selectively forgot about this one.

Clearly this is the Eagles' throwback to the days of the "frat rock" sound: the "greeks" being fraternity members, and the lyrics pertaining to sorority girls ("the perfect 'little sister'") and pledges that couldn't hold their liquor ("barfing all over your girlfriends shoes"). Dig the Farfisa right out of "96 Tears"!Still not a good song by any means, but there you have it.

This was written about Bobby's Bar, Glyfada, Greece, where the Eagles hung out in the summer of 1977. It was a very wild and wonderful place until terrorists blew it up in 1985.
