ong

The song features Don Henley on lead vocals, and lyrically describes a strained love life between a frustrated male and a female who spends far too much time trying to climb the social ladder, hence the lyric "You were just too busy being fabulous/Too busy to think about us". The song has a similar sound to The Long Run.

Video

The video for the song was released to YouTube in early February, and features the band performing the song at a dinner party in formal wear. Interspersed with the performance is the story of the song as it happens, featuring the band playing several different roles at once:

*Timothy B. Schmit as a waiter
*Glenn Frey as a bartender
*Joe Walsh as both a policeman and a security guard. His sidekick for both roles is a monkey.
*Don Henley as both a party goer and Walsh's police partner.

The video also marks the first time Steuart Smith has appeared in any Eagles video.

Chart performance

"Busy Being Fabulous" entered the "Billboard" Hot Country Songs charts at #40 on the chart week of February 23, 2008. It reached a peak of #28 on the week of March 22 before falling the next week.
