Hotel California

"Hotel California" is a 1975 song originally performed by American Rock band The Eagles. In 1996, Mark Sherwood covered the song in his first Eurobeat song for Chapter One.

Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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, 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

[Chorus 1] "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"

[Verse 2] Her mind is Tiffany-twisted She got a Mercedes-Benz 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


 * Repeat Chorus 1

[Verse 3] 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

[Chorus 2] "Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (such a lovely place) Such a lovely face Livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis"

Trivia
This version of Hotel California omits the final two verses of the song from the original version (where it's revealed the titular hotel is actually an insane asylum).

This version is also only 3% faster than the original Eagles song.
