Our Favorite Jupiter Holiday Songs

Jupiter Holiday Songs

Christmas time is here, Hannukah is around the corner, and we are singing along to each and every holiday song that comes along. We have rewritten a few of our favorites, inspired by the last 18 years of owning this independent boutique hotel in Portland, Oregon. Enjoy these sing-a-longs below, and since we don't allow cameras into our holiday parties (jk...), you get funny holiday stock photos instead! Before you start going all karaoke caroling superstar on us, be sure you...

Bands That We Have Heard While High
("Angels We Have Heard on High")


Bands that we have heard while high

in the Doug Fir Lounge we’ve lain

And the songs that are so fly

Echoing their indie strains

Oh, we love the Doug Fir

We love the Doug Fir

We love the Doug Fir, oh yeah

In excelsis Doug Fir…

Decemberists have played before

The Shins have brought us to our knees

Ural Thomas gives us more

Cake was here on New Year’s Eve

Oh, we love the Doug Fir

We love the Doug Fir

We love the Doug Fir, we do

In excelsis Doug Fir…

And they have a bar inside

Plus a patio for outdoor hangs

Upstairs and downstairs we glide

Though we toke before we came

Have you been to Doug Fir Lounge?

Do you know its majesty?

The music venue world-renowned

So says Rolling Stone Magazine

Next time you need a place to sleep

Jupiter’s vibe is so unique

The Original is where we keep

Doug Fir’s underground mystique

Come to the Doug Fir Lounge,

To the Doug Fir Lounge,

To the Doug Fir Lounge tonight

In excelsis Doug Fir Lounge…

The First Hotel ("The First Noel")


The first hotel in the Central Eastside

Helped launch businesses in the guest rooms with pride

 

This boutique hotel came in 2004

Held art gallery showings with arts parties galore

 

Hotel, hotel, hotel, hotel

Jupiter NEXT and the Original Hotel

 

Plus the underground music venue Doug Fir

Famous bands have played shows like an indie kid lure

 

Then the newly built Jupiter NEXT opened up

With Hey Love, whose tropical summer vibe says what’s up

 

Hotel, hotel, hotel, hotel

Jupiter NEXT and the Original Hotel


Hey Love, Hey Love, Hey Love ("Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel")

Hey Love, Hey Love, Hey Love
You’re a tropical vacay
In the hotel lobby
And I could stay all day

Oh, Hey Love, Hey Love, Hey Love
Your parties can’t be beat
I listen to your playlists
All day on repeat

Hey Love, Hey Love, Hey Love
Boozy slushies are divine
Utah, Give Me Two, please!
All night would be just fine

Oh, Hey Love, Hey Love, Hey Love
It’s the summer noods for me
In winter, it’s still summer
And I’m happy as can be!

FROM OUR JUPITER TEAM TO YOU

Of course, we didn't include ALL our favorites... like "God Rest Ye Merry Indie Bands," "O Come All Ye Tokers," or "Do You Queer What I Queer," but we'll save those for next year!

We love that you're part of our Jupiter family, and that you've chosen us in the past, present, or future as the place to rest your head when you're in the Rose City. Have the happiest of holidays this season, and keep it going all year long! Holidays at Jupiter Hotel are unparalleled. All we need is YOU.
