1st Dance Trouble!

I am in love with the song Hotel California by the Eagles.  I had heard rumor that the lyrics are interpreted in many different ways, some not so good when related to a relationship and a wedding.  Can I use the song anyway?  Will my guests even know the interpretations?  My fiance knows it is one of my favorites and it is really the only song I have in mind.  Let me know if I need to shop for a new song.

I have never heard of these alternative interpretations... what are they? I am sure you will be fine. if you like the song ~ use it!

I joked with my fiance about using this song for his mother-son dance because she loves the 'Eagles.'  He informed me the song was about prostitution. 

Maybe have that song be one of the first songs to kick off the partay!

i've heard this song was about from different people, drugs, prostitution, death, ghosts.. anyway It doesn't say wedding dance song ya know?

Yeah that is kind of what I thought.  Back to the drawing board.  Thanks for your help!

I agree, if you love the song--go for it!! Do not worry about what the lyrics are and who is listening!

Well, I had never even considered having this song, but my FI loves this song (for the music quality etc We've never heard of the other interpretations - I thought it was about a creppy hotel! haha). We'll have the song at some point in the reception now. My FI hasn't ever paid attention to what I say about the wedding boards but this got his attention and he loves it! Do what you want!!
