Every time I come into my room, the TV flicks on and sings at me, some 50s sounding musical number.

Googling the lyrics is not working.

what is it, where is it from?

Here's a Hello from your Friendly receptionist
Welcome to Holiday Inn
Do you need a broad or a good pack of ***
Maybe a Tonic an Gin

etc.

They provide broads? So that's why all those rappers name check it.

blueski, Thursday, 6 December 2007 21:46 (seventeen years ago)

I'm still looking for this 'red hot receptionist' she doesn't appear to be behind the desk downstairs.

Ed, Thursday, 6 December 2007 21:54 (seventeen years ago)

good pack of ***

?

El Tomboto, Thursday, 6 December 2007 21:59 (seventeen years ago)

Good pack of cocksucking motherfuckers, obv.

libcrypt, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:02 (seventeen years ago)

Mist?

Ned Trifle II, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:02 (seventeen years ago)

I want to find the lyrics so I can find out what *** is, I can't decipher from the recording.

Ed, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:02 (seventeen years ago)

Fist?

Ned Trifle II, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:02 (seventeen years ago)

Liszt?

Ned Trifle II, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:03 (seventeen years ago)

Hist?

Street slang for antihistamines...

Ned Trifle II, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:04 (seventeen years ago)

A better question is, are you currently staying at Holiday Inn, and if so, why the fuck are they trying to annoy the shit outta you?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw_%28musical%29 says it's a 1973 musical based on a play by William Gibson and I was all !?! but, uh, not that William Gibson.

For my prize, if I am not xposted to hell, I would like some new hobbies better than googling other people's weird song memories of an evening.

I think I just killed all the fun. But I hate fun, so that's fine by me.

Here's a Hello from your Friendly receptionist
Welcome to Holiday Inn
Do you need a broad or a good pack of ***
Maybe a Tonic an Gin

there's no gideon bible next to the bed
could you read the yellow pages instead
here is a tip from your friendly receptionist
Welcome to Holiday Inn

If you wanna cup of coffee
if you wanna piece of danish
I'll be ready and waiting in the hall
And regardless of the hour
should you need a wake up a call
Then Call Call Call

We people coming in
people going out
if you know what I mean
but your the greatest looking ???
if you know what I mean
So Here's hello from your sexy receptionist
one big hello from your red hot receptionist

Finally got bored enough to write it out

I don't think the rhyme scheme actually requires that. It's probably just "cigarettes"

El Tomboto, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:10 (seventeen years ago)

^^^^ BORING

El Tomboto, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:10 (seventeen years ago)

Shut up, you.

El Tomboto, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:11 (seventeen years ago)

A better question is, are you currently staying at Holiday Inn, and if so, why the fuck are they trying to annoy the shit outta you?

I am in the holiday Inn 'City Stars' in Cairo working a trade fair. We were originally in the intercontinetal round the corner but somehow they had run out of regular rooms so put us in over priced 'executive ones' so I was there in an executive one for one night then moved round here. Somehow I have turned into a travelling salesman in the last month.

WTF, they are drilling in my wall.

libcrypt, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:19 (seventeen years ago)

Perhaps it's good catalyst.

libcrypt, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:21 (seventeen years ago)

There's an audio sample on that page too if you want to get a notion of how it sounds.

libcrypt, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:25 (seventeen years ago)

Oh hell. The first line is right on there:

Here’s a hello from your friendly receptionist, welcome to Holiday Inn! Do you need a broad or a good psychoanalyst, maybe a tonic and gin...

libcrypt, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:27 (seventeen years ago)

WTF at Holiday Inn stocking broads and psychoanalysts, tho.

libcrypt, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:28 (seventeen years ago)

one month passes...

Ok guys, don't say Im not good to you - here are the full and complete CORRECT lyrics for this song.

If anyone wants the mp3, let me know.

WELCOME TO THE HOLIDAY INN (CORRECT LYRICS)

Here's a Hello from your Friendly receptionist
Welcome to Holiday Inn
Do you need a broad or a good psychoanalyst?
Maybe a Tonic and Gin?
There's no Gideon bible next to the bed
Could you read the yellow pages instead?
Here is a kiss from your friendly receptionist
Welcome to Holiday Inn!

Is the mattress to your liking?
Is the blanket nice and warm?
You can find the soap and towels in the John
So you’re restless Mr Ryan and you need a helping hand?
For a quarter turn the magic fingers on! (LAUGHS)

All through the night there’s a friendly receptionist
Eager and ready to please
If you’re in need of some extra activity
There are no charges or fees
Don’t be embarrassed and don’t be afraid
We’re used to giving out travellers’ aid!
So here is a hug from your horny receptionist, Welcome to Holiday Inn!

If you wanna cup of coffee Iff you wanna piece of danish
I'll be ready, I’ll be waiting in the hall
And regardless of the hour
should you need a wake up a call
Call Call Call!
We people going in and out
you know what I mean ...
But you’re the greatest looking transient, I’ve ever seen!
So here's hello from your sexy receptionist
One big hello from your red hot receptionist

Welcome to Holiday Inn!!

(KISS)
