Hotel Mauna Kea (parody)
Experience the plight of astronomers at the 14,000-foot summit of Mauna Kea! Veteran observers John A., Juan D., Kelly F., Ted K., and Tim Livengood took the HIPWAC spectrometer to the IRTF observatory on the Big Island of Hawaii and were inspired to write the lyrics to "Hotel Mauna Kea". Here, Juan, Kelly and Ted perform the song and all co-investigators star in this above-the-clouds music video. "Hotel Mauna Kea" is a parody of The Eagles' "Hotel California" by Felder, Henley, and Frey.

That was awesome! It really makes me miss the long long long nights at the IRTF. x_x Did you ever steal food from the CFHT's kitchen?

Nice video and nice song. But remember, you can check out of spacetime any time you like, but you can never leave.

We have checked with folks here at Mauna Kea. The most correct naming is "Mauna a Wakea", pronounced MOW-nuh (rhymes with now-nuh) ah vah-kay-uh, which means "mountain of Wakea, the sky-father." The casual usage is the modern Mauna Kea, pronounced "MOW-nah Kay-ah." We have our pronunciation advice from the visitor center, from rangers, and on best authority from Kimo from the 'Imiloa Astronomy Center.

Hi! (You know it's me). I've already told you I like the video, but I haven't posted any comments. We all miss you now that you're back in Hawaii! (Moh-ah-na Kee-ah?!)
