The song Hotel California hit number one on this day in history, May 7, 1977. The enigmatic lyrics of the rock song has led to many theories about its meaning.
The album "Hotel California" was released on Dec. 8, 1976, but the title song was released as a single two months later on Feb. 22, 1977, according to rock music website SuperSeventies. "It’s basically a song about the dark underbelly of the American dream and about excess in America." Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
"Every band has its creative peak," said Don Henley, founding member of the Eagles, to USA Today in 2020 of the album "Hotel California."
