What are you listening to?

Desperado was never the best Eagles/Henley song
However, there is a way to make the song more palatable
All you have to do is substitute Avocado for Desperado

Avocado
Why do you think youre so holy?
Youre just guacamole, to me
Oh, youre a hard one
I know that youre not in season
These hands that are squeezing you will peel you someday

Dont you buy that jalapeno boy
It will burn you if it is able
A Carta Blanca has always been your best bet
A hundred pound burrito has been laid upon your table
But you still want the bean tostada you cant get

Avocado
I want to beat you and whip you
I wanna chip you and dip you
So fall down from your tree
There's a tomato, who is just a waiting to meet you
Why dont you let somebody eat you
Let somebody eat you
Why dont you let somebody eat you
Before its too late​

Little Feat loved Texas. In this song by Lowell George, he mentions how he "love to found in Austin." From Sailin Shoes (1972)

Picked up on the phone in Houston
Everybody answered, everybody answered but they won't say why
Then this dancer grabbed me, yeah, yeah, down by the bus stop
She said I'm, I'm takin' you with me to the Texas Rose Cafe

I have a fast car, it's a Jaguar, and I'll get you to the plane on time
Drinkin' Lone Star, playin' guitar, oh, we'll have a real good time
I said love, love to be found in Austin
I said love, love to be found in Austin town​

I once saw them play acoustically in the corner of the Texas Chili Parlor (on Lavaca) -- I was not even a teenager yet -- just sort of lucked into it, thanks to some good friends

This is Sister Rosetta Tharpe (died on this day 1973).
When she was asked about music in the late 1960s, she said --

"Oh, these kids and rock and roll — that is just sped up rhythm and blues. I've been doing that forever."​

 
Great cover.
Of the Buddy Holly song, I mean.
I guess the actual cover doesn’t have much cover.
