Elton John - Holiday Inn (1971) With Lyrics! video free download
From Elton John's 1971 album "Madman Across the Water." The lyrics in the demo of this song referred to the Holiday Inn as a "motel prison" and a second verse complained of cold french fries and a broken TV. The album version was obliviously "cleaned up" so as not to offend the American hotel chain. Interestingly, Elton used to perform the omitted verse in his 1971 and 72 live concerts!
You can hear the demo with the original lyrics here:

Con el tiempo,,,se demuestra que estas canciones son autenticas joyas.Todo es lirico,todo es poesia, todo es rock, todo es musica grande....La primera vez que lo escuche me quede perplejo de lo que estaba escuchando..no me lo creia.Y eran canciones poco o nada conocidas...todas maravillosas obras de arte musical.Una y otra vez,,,asi estuve una temporada.Sigue siendo el mejor disco para mi./ecdm-j9 years ago
