Phone Zombies have taken over Hotel California in this parody song. Know someone who is always on their phone? Is it making them zombie-like? Are they prisoners of their own device? Well, this song is about them. Enjoy Hotel California in a completely new way, along with a tribute to another famous song at the end. And, maybe afterwards, it might be a good idea to put the phone down for a while. 🧟♂️😆

Shirley, the line "They are all just prisoners of their own device" has to be one of the greatest social-commentary parody re-lyrics there could possibly be. The double-entendre is stunning. Another stellar achievement. And so well performed. Thanks!

I sure do miss the nice, friendly people there... which is MOST Texans, in spite of what people are told by media. It's just that the creepy ones go into politics (and usually aren't actually born there). Most of us "native" Texans would rather swap recipes, hugs, and help others than even have to think about politics.

Thankyou so much Shirley. Sadly it isn't only teenagers who are addicted to their phones but young mums who ignore babies in prams and toddlers in push chairs, robbing them of precious opportunities to learn from the very start of their young lives. When I see that I really have to restrain myself from tearing the phones out of their hands and hurling them into the nearest bush! And I'm a really peaceful person by nature.

@metalcatmom5891 2 года назад

@ Thanks Shirley. I cook a nice meal for my family and my 68 year old Dad spends half the meal on the phone with someone else. I used to enjoy spending time with him, but now it kind of hurts my feelings. He would rather engage with people on his phone than his adult daughter, who he no longer sees even even every week, in the present trying to do something nice for him.

2 года назад

Hi Phoenix Knight. I started writing the lyrics the same day that I saw the meme, then refined them over the next evening. Recorded the lyrics and put the video together over the last day - yay for weekend. The stock videos of people on phones were a great help and the music track is linked to in my description. I just had to make the words, sing, film myself 7 times and put it all together. It's how I roll on weekends. 😁

@727Phoenix 2 года назад

Loved this one. You know though, online has been a lifesaver these last two years here in Melb, Aus. Lockdowns have been awful and all my friends live outside my 5-10km radius. Another good thing is I met up with a fellow online friend and we became friends in real life…and I’ve only been able to see her a few times thanks to endless lockdowns 😖. Must say I was not expecting Zombie by The Cranberries. That always flashes me back to the bombing of my home town in ‘93. It hit us really hard. My brother was the same age as Tim Parry and likely in the same school if we’d stayed.

2 года назад

Oh, wow - the bombing sounds terrible. Sorry if this song brought an unexpected flash back for you. As for online being a lifesaver - I agree. It's a double edged sword for me. I so appreciate the many good things it brings, but I also see the entropy it causes in lives.

Wow! That is so spot on. I've never been more thankful that I'm a control freak than now. Social media came very much in handy during lockdown, but I deleted FB from my phone because it was wasting too much of my time. It takes effort to boot up the computer to use it and I set time limits. I like to play solitaire on my phone, but my rule is, I win 3 games, I get off and go do something else. The last time I saw people with those non-expressions on their faces was back in the 70s when I was locked up in a mental institution and surrounded by people on heavy doses of things like Thorazine and Haldol.

Wow, this is an EXCELLENT video and so true. I was a kid when Prodigy came out.I immediately felt this rush that KNOWLEDGE ANYTHING we wanted to know was now obtainable with a few click of my mouse.I told people I was "addicted " to the web". They laughed. They are NOT laughing now because MANY of them now suffer the SAME fate and its actually SAD .

"Like the living dead" The Zombie Apocalypse isn't what we thought it would be. 👍 👍👍

The visuals for this one are absolutely STUNNING, Shirley! 😍 Brava! I'm super-curious to know if you mixed stock footage & staged filming, or roped in your students as extras, or what?? 😄 It can definitely be very surreal to look up on a bus & see every single passenger with their face buried in their smartphone... 🤭 I'm mindful, though, that that one single device has essentially replaced the book, newspaper, letterwriting pad, music-player and even sketchbook that people might previously have been engaged with instead..? So even though there's definitely a valid concern around over-immersion in social media, I think we can sometimes draw some false equivalences between the past & present. Still a freakin' brilliant job on this song though, & very timely! 👌

Kia ora, Anna. Yes, most of the footage is stock footage. I don't involve students in any of my RU-vid stuff. Certainly, there's more cause to look at screens. I often think of how few paperback books I read now compared to pre-screen. BUT I definitely read more content now.

I received the alert for this song when walking in an 1300 years old town with half timbered houses. X-mas feeling, beautiful decoration. So calm, peaceful and without nobody around I clicked on the link... and became one of the zombies instantly, I had to hear the song until it's end. A typical Shirley: good, better, best, Serban. Happy Christmas greetings from Germany and thanks for the song.

I can just imagine the picture you have painted here, Ich Selbst. It brings me back to Germany in my mind - I used to go to South Germany every January for my work for a couple of years, and have walked through a number of old towns like that. Happy Christmas to you!
