"A Life of Illusion" is a popular solo single by Eagles member Joe Walsh from 1981 (see 1981 in music). It became a pop hit in the United States, peaking at #34 on the Billboard Hot 100, and also reaching #1 on the magazine's Top Tracks chart,[1] where his former bandmates Don Henley and Glenn Frey would also score #1 hits.
"A Life of Illusion" is used as the musical background to the opening scenes in the film The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and appears as the first track on the soundtrack album. It is heard, albeit briefly, in the 2010 movie Grown Ups.
In 2002, the Foo Fighters recorded a cover of the song as a B Side, which later appeared on their covers album Medium Rare in 2011.
