Hotel Mauna Kea (parody)


My good friend who is part astronomer @ NASA, part flamenco guitarist and part twinkled toes, Juan David, has made this video with his colleagues and fellow observers in Hawaii's Mauna Kea.
It is a hilarious parody of Hotel California and lyrics, music and singing are all a la NASA.
Here's what they say about the video:
"Experience the plight of astronomers at the 14,000-foot summit of Mauna Kea! Veteran observers John A., Juan D., Kelly F., Ted K., and Tim Livengood took the HIPWAC spectrometer to the IRTF observatory on the Big Island of Hawaii and were inspired to write the lyrics to "Hotel Mauna Kea". Here, Juan, Kelly and Ted perform the song and all co-investigators star in this above-the-clouds music video. "Hotel Mauna Kea" is a parody of The Eagles' "Hotel California" by Felder, Henley, and Frey."
