( TIL ) The Eagles were truly a band of hoopy froods who always knew where their towels were 🦅👍🗺️🌌 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZdZKolMIl0

My mind was blown about a year ago when I realised the band was called "Eagles". Not "The Eagles". Just Eagles. None of their albums/posters etc refer to themselves as The Eagles.

Same with Carpenters.

And Hall & Oates...... Though they are commonly referred to as Hall & Oates, both members have been adamant about the duo being called Daryl Hall & John Oates – its official name

Well...I guess not the same as they weren't referred to as The Hall and Oates...but I think I still have a valid contribution.
