this might just be the most annoying song ever.

I think it's godawful and there is NO way that I can ever
enjoy it.

if you find yourself around a campfire, godforbid, there
will always be some prat with a guitar (with possibly his
even prattier companion who has some kind of percussive
instrument) who will start playing this song. if you're
particularily unlucky, some sort of group will form, singing
the song.

by doing this, the chanteur has licensed you to push him
into the open fire, without fear of any retribution.

is this based on traumatic experiences of you, poor qrter?
the acoustic version was even worse i guess, but so was all
unplugged

nah, it's just a really horrible song.

but people singing it around a campfire actually makes it
even worse.

have they got a robot replica of The Eagles playing the song
constantly, piping it into each and every room 24/7?

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place (background)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
You can find it here
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely Place (background)
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (background)
Bring your alibies

Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the nightman
We are programed to recieve
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave

I fucking hate this song.

Where I work, there used to be these two guys from
california that would always play that song (in its
entirity) on their radios.
