Well, it has to be "Hotel California" made popular by The Eagles. The lyrics of the song describe the title establishment, a hotel where "you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave." On the surface, the song is a tale of a weary traveler who becomes trapped in a nightmarish hotel that at first appeared tempting. There are many urban legends about the meaning of this metaphor (see Lyrics Interpretations below). The song was written about the hedonism and self-destruction in the Southern California music industry. The original version of the song is performed in slow rock style, opening with a long, repeated acoustic twelve string guitar motif. During the verses, guitar and bass provide melodic counterpoint to the vocal. The end section of the song consists of a series of guitar solos building to a multi-layered variation on the opening theme with multiple guitars in chorus. The song is also well known for its guitar solos, which are performed by both Joe Walsh and Don Felder.
"Hotel California" won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1978.
It is rated by many polls to be one of the greatest songs of all time: Rolling Stone magazine, for example, states it is the forty-ninth greatest song of all time.[2] Similarly, it is one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
As one of the group's most popular and well-known songs, "Hotel California" has been a concert staple for the band since its release; performances of the song appear on the Eagles' 1980 live album and, in an acoustic version, on the 1994 Hell Freezes Over reunion concert CD and video release.
Cheers :)

Well last time I was born was in back when the dinosaurs were rumbling mount kokomunga. It was then when I was just a little tiny toddler when I heard the song, tweet tweet by birds. It was such a good song that I even asked a leprachaun to design my next cd album with birds. Just thinking about it makes my eyes watery. The dinosaurs didn't give a damm about the song so I prayed for an asteriod to take them down. It was a good day.
