I'm conflicted. I was going to take a guess on the Hotel California question, but wasn't certain if I was recalling the entire lyrics, so I looked them up online. This resulted in me accidentally finding the answer to the question, which was in fact what I was going to guess in the first place, but now I'm afraid I'm cheating.

BTw, my Q was posted first but when I edited it, it got a new time stamp.

OK, finally thought of one:

The song Mbube was written and performed by South African artist Solomon Linda in 1939. What #1 song (Billboard Hot 100) in the US & UK did this become?

One of the most successful disco acts of the 70s included three men who became incredibly successful producers and studio musicians as well. The men: Edwards, Rodgers, Thompson. What was the name of their group?

That's ma'am to you. :p I'll stick with the Disco and gender-bending themes for the next question.

What Disco artist did the Weather Girls (of "It's Raining Men" fame) sing backup vocals for in the '70s?
