I don't know if this has been posted earlier. Different from the mallu version;
, I have found some more versions online!
Guys, Practice on your guitars and post it up on youtube!
Hotel California (Desi)
On a dark crowded highway
brylcreem in my hair
warm smell of parathas
rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
my eyes grew dim and my head grew light
I had to stop for the night
There they stood in the doorway
they were desis you could tell
I got out fearfully
saying this will surely be hell
All around us were buildings
Sun, SGI and Dell
I slowly unloaded my things
In the shadows of Intel
And still those parking lots were
full of Hondas
waiting up in the middle of the night
to be driven home by programmers
Welcome to the town of Sunnyvale
such a desi place, such a crazy place
we're livin' it up in the town of Sunnyvale
such a nice surprise, so many people with no lives
My heartstrings were twisted
I wanted to feel at home
where thousands of desis existed
and no white man dared roam
Sambar stains on the ceilings
mango lassis on ice
sit and watch the paint peeling
or make daal and boil rice
But my mind revolted
at the very thought
I grabbed my bag and bolted
I'd escape no matter what
And still those voices are calling
from far away
wake you up in the middle of the night
I can hear them say
Welcome to the town of Sunnyvale
such a desi place, such a crazy place
we're livin' it up in the town of Sunnyvale
such a nice surprise, so many people with no lives
I wake up in a cold sweat
thank god it was a dream
there is no need to fret
I still live in the east
Oh, I still live in the east
Hotel California (Karnatic version)
On a dark city one-way
‘Nariyal Tel’ in my hair
The smell of ‘Batata Vada’
was rising up through the air
up ahead in the distance
I saw a green tube lite
My tongue grew heavy and my stomach grew thin
I had to stop for a bite
There he stood in the door way
repairing the calling bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be hell ….. Oh ! It is hell
Then he lit up a petromax
and cursed the electricity board away
There were some sardars down the corridor
Thought I heard them say
Welcome to hotel kalasipalya
such a lousy place
many a bug at the hotel kalasipalya
whats the spiral burning device
oh! Its just Tortoise
The finger in his nose definitely twisted
as three sneezes it sends
He makes a lot of weird noise
when the finger bends
About the ‘kusthi’ in the courtyard
Sticky ‘Sardar’ sweat
The man pleaded for mercy
while theire wives whipped them with a belt
I called upon the deaf captain
please tell me the time
He promptly ran into the kitchen
and brought me ‘vangi bhat’, soda and lime
And still those voices were crying, far away
wake you up in the middle of the night
just to hear them pray
Save us from hotel kalasipalya
Thats a mice … No surprise
if the rodents at a dogs size
The blind man was feeling
yesterdays sambhar on rice
we are all pensioners here
said an old man in silk smitha disguise
and in the dining chamber
we gathered for the feast
we stab it with our steely knives
but just can’t cut the meat
The last thing I remember
I was lying on the floor
The half eaten tapeworm in my snack
made my tummy sore
Relax! said the moustached watchman
mouth to mouth respiration you shall receive
they made me lie on my back
while my soul packed up to leave ……
Hotel California (Punjaabi version)
On the dark GT highway, Pagdi patka in my hair
Warmsmell of some dhabas, Rising up in the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a ttharra joint
My head grew heavyand my sight grew dim, I must have drunk over a pint
There he stood in the drive way, I heard his truck helper yell
And I was thinking to myself, This had tobe Devinder Singh Behl
Then he belched, and scratched his head, And he was on the highway
And the other drivers leaning from their truck, car doors,
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the hotel Karnal-a-fonia,
Vaddi changi place (vaddi changi place)
Vaddi changi place
Massage, manicure, pedicure at Karnal-a-fonia,
Any kind of ear (any kind of ear) You can clean it here
His car’s grill was definitely twisted, He’s got a Maruti-Benz
He’s got a lot of petty petty MLAs, Whom he calls friends
Dancing bhangra in the courtyard, See surdie sweat
Some dancer is this Devinder, Armpits stinking wet
So I told the bell captain, I’ve made a reservation online
And he said, oye khoteyya our internet hasn’t worked at all Since Y2K - 1999,
And still those drivers were calling from the driveway
Woke me in the middle of the night I know I heard them say
Welcome to the hotel Karnal-a-fonia,
Itthey karlo rest
(itthey karlo rest)
Itthey karlo rest
Aish karo at the hotel Karnal-a-fonia,
Kudi umr bais
(kudi umr bais)
Will serve you nice,
Daler on the ceiling, And on the walls in every guise
And waitresses dressed like actresses, From flicks of Subhash Ghai’s
And in the downstairs canteen, I sat down for my meal
Butter chicken, and sarson da saag,
Had a shock when they showed me the bill
Looking for help I saw Devinder, Dancing wildly on the floor
I had to find my hostess back, Oh where is this Gurpreet Kaur?
Relax said Milkha Singh, Play golf with my son Jeev Tu
ban gaya Punjab da puttar, Now you cant ever leaveeeeeeeeee
So here I am, Wasting life at the Hotel Karnal-a-fonia
Vaddi changi place (vaddi changi place)
Vaddi changi place
Converted to member of Hotel Karnal-a-fonia
Whoever arrives (whoever arrives) Stays till he dies
*!* END *!*
Guys! Laaff! Laaff! Please!
