Reasons "Hotel California" is uncool:
- Covered by Gypsy Kings, hairy-chested Mediterranean singing group whose CDs supplied the soundtrack to the nervous third dates of 45-ish divorcees in mid-90s California.
- Hipsters say so, but then again, the song's an easy target, so maybe it's cool after all.
- Last heard in dental office
- Don Henley's solo career
- In April 2001, when the Navy spyplane collided over China with a fighter jet, the captured American sailors sang it to their captors (the first foreign policy crisis of Bush administration)
- It makes you think of adult contemporary, mullets, hottubs, divorcees, and fake tans.
I once stayed in a Hotel California while in Madrid. I think they did have a liberal check in policy, but ironically, I was able to leave.
