Just for Fun – The Brilliant Eric Champnella’s Song Parody “Welcome to the Hotel Mar-A-Lago”

According to his Twitter profile Eric Champnella is a “screenwriter/director and above average tennis player.

I think we can add “hilarious songwriter” to his list of accomplishments.

As a young sailor in Jimmy Carter’s Navy, me and my shipmates would load up our hash bowls, power up the turntable, and spin “Hotel California” at a decibel level roughly equivalent to a passing hook-and-ladder powering through a hurricane.

But we never enjoyed Don Henley and the boys any more than I enjoyed this… particularly the final flourish:

(Sound waaaay up.)

As always, mad props to my uber-talented partner on this, @TreyCallaway

And special thanks to @chanwork

Beyond epic, Brooklyn!

Not to be undone one of them added a Randy Rainbow ditty that is definitely worth a listen… “Lock Him Up… Yesterday.”
