[Hotel California] [Eagles] [1976] [LP] Oh how I love it, this ingenious improvised guitar duet... But also the vocals of Don Henley and at all everything, just great! . . . . . 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) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year (any time of year) You can find it here . Her mind is Tiffany-twisted She got the Mercedes Benz She 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) Such a lovely face They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis . Mirrors on the ceiling The 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 night man "We are programmed to receive You can check out any time you like But you can never leave" . . . . . #HotelCalifornia #NewKidInTown #TheEagles #TheEaglesBand #TheEaglesHotelCalifornia #GlennFrey #DonFelder #JosephFidler #JoeWalsh #BernieLeadon #RandyMeisner #AsylumRecords #BillSzymczyk #Rockmusic #CountryRock #WestCoastMusic #SoftRock #FolkRock https://www.instagram.com/p/CpQbg9zohT0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Considering that this movie was about teens in the early Eighties, it’s weird that most of the soundtrack is by aging Seventies holdovers. Four different solo tracks from the Eagles alone—that’s equal to all the tracks here from 80s new wave acts combined. And the weirdest thing? The one song that most people associate with this movie now—The Cars’ “Moving In Stereo” from THAT scene—isn’t even on the soundtrack. No wonder it wound up as a cut-out in the remainder bin. Great cover though.
