A Hotel California "cover"

[chaim]

Just having a bit of fun here...

Once, while I was walking around the city, another kind of melody to the Hotel California lyric started playing in my head. A joke version - a really lame major key melody. Today I "demoed" it. Just strumming an acoustic and singing. Recording with my laptop's microphone, so there's plenty of hiss. I added some other stuff, but not much. This is just a musical note for me - and I may or may not record it properly at some point. Or if someone else would like to, feel free!

This is basically to demonstrate how important the music is for a lyric and vice versa. I'm thinking of doing the opposite at some point - taking the HC chord progression and adding a different melody and a really lame lyric on top. Here's the hissing demo:
