Warren Zevon's, "Desperados Under the Eaves"
The Lyrics:
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lying
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
I'm gonna drink 'em up
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lying
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
I'm gonna drink 'em up
Why:
Besides mentioning Los Angeles and Hollywood in particular, the song later ends by mentioning Gower Avenue.

Nuclear arms in the Middle East Israel's attacking the Iraqis The Syrians are mad at the Lebanese And Baghdad does whatever she please Looks like another threat to world peace For the envoy
Why:
Zevon mentions nearly all the hot spots in the Middle East, but interestingly, this song was released in the early 1980's. Some things never change.
