The Irony of Song Lyrics

Music is played in the background of many commercial environments and nobody really thinks about the appropriateness of the lyrics. The music is not always a subscribed service. It could just be the radio or the current digital equivalent. But there is just something a little wrong – even ironic – about hearing the line from Hotel California, “You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave,” while riding on a hotel shuttle.
