On That Note: Livin' it up at the Hotel ...

[pourcyne]

She takes the taxi to the good hotel
Bon marche as far as she can tell
She drinks the zombie from the cocoa shell
She feels alright, she get it on tonight
Mister driver
Take me where the music play
Papa say

 

[JP4CY]

This whole song is a banger.

 

[MeanDean]

You could've called her reception an unqualified success
At a flash hotel for a hundred and fifty guests

 

[pourcyne]

Take me to the hotel, baggage gone, oh, well
Come on, come on, won't you get me to my room
I wanna move

 

[pourcyne]

Waitin, anticipatin
For the fireworks in the night
Well I swear we were doin eighty
When we saw those motel lights

We were rockin, rockin
Into the night
Ooo yeah
Rockin into the night
Rockin into the night
Hoo rockin

 

[MeanDean]

Motel money murder madness
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness

[pourcyne]

Ye-up, got it on vinyl...

Boogie Motel, Boogie Motel,
May be sleazy, but it's cheap and it's easy.
Between heaven and hell, check in to the Boogie Motel

 

[Cupped]

Lynard Skynyrd, What's Your Name


Back at the hotel Lord we got such a mess
It seems that one of the crew
Had a go with one of the guests oh yes

 

[Cydar]

 

[pourcyne]

Everybody go, "Hotel, motel, whatcha gonna do today?" (Say what?)
'Cause I'ma get a fly girl, gonna get some spank and drive off in a def OJ
Everybody go, "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn"
You see, if your girl starts acting up, then you take her friend

 

[MeanDean]

Either side of the world
Chase the sun
Pay the maximum rate
To feel so lonesome
Wrapped up like little lambs
Safe from harm
Enjoy it while you can
Happiness is far from home

You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you’re in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
They’re happy to give you
The last resort


I was hesitant to post this but I think it is used both as a vacation-type resort (because the song is about travel/loneliness) and also used in the common phrase "last resort."

 

[MeanDean]

 

[pourcyne]

I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
It was right in front of this little bar
Kind of a red-neck lookin joint called the Dew Drop Inn

 

[pourcyne]

Got this one on vinyl too...
Here I am again, Holiday Inn, same old four walls again.
Gee, but it's fine to be back home again, whoa, now.
Said, Holiday Inn, I'm on the road again.

[MeanDean]

Same album:

Come on Razor Face my old friend
I'll meet you down by the Truck Stop Inn

 

[Cydar]

Way up in the sky
Over the city where you sleep tonight
The light outside your window blinks
Hotel, hotel, hotel
Open the blind and dream in a moonbeam

 

[cyclones500]

(Spoken, in the outro):
“Yankee .. Hotel … Foxtrot.”

Bought the soundtrack after seeing the movie...a thousand years ago.
