You dare compare mid-70s top 40 AM radio muzak to "A Day in the Life?"

And "A Day in the Life" is only interesting because of the change in musical styles (see "Bohemian Rhapsody" for an excellent use of this), but the poetry is stilted. Hotel California has plays on words: "Tiffany twisted", "Mercedes bends". It has metaphors: Dancing, voices, dinners. It has a better vocabulary: "shimmering", "corridor". The Beatles would have had to work around "shiny" and "hallway".
