I am looking for the lyrics to the theme song "Holiday Road" from the
National Lampoon's "Vacation series except for "Christmas Vacation"
The First "Vacation" and European Vacation"
There is another song that has a woman singing in french and some
male vocals. As I was watching the ending credits roll by while
listening to "Back In America" (COOL SONG)
I was able to catch a glimpse and wrote it down --
"Ca plane pour moi" by Plastic Bertrand

Thank you
Sean

Hi Sean!

I'm not sure about the (???) bits. I've to dig up my dusty copy of the
vid to listen to the track once more (if I can find it). Sorry, don't
know French, so no Plastic Bertrand from me.

Holiday Road
------------
I found out long ago
It's a long way down
Holiday road

Holiday road
Holiday road

Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Taking a ride
On the west coast way (???)

Holiday road
Holiday road
Holiday road
Holiday road

I found out long ago
It's a long way down
Holiday road

Holiday road
Holiday road
Holiday road
Holiday road


I love this better though.....

We went dancin' across the USA
On that crazy ease (???) our way
Too much passion
Too much play
We went dancin'
Dancin'
Dancin' across the USA

Well, the curtain falls too early
So they say
Some will go
Others just stay instead
........

Ciao!
Jacq

As I recall, Lindsey Buckingham wrote the National Lampoon's Vacation song
in less than an hour!
Here are all the words there are (rent this and listen closely, you can
hear a dog bark in rhythm at the end of the song. Anyone remember what
happened to the dog <EG>)

I found out long ago

It's a long way down the holiday road
Holiday road.........
Holiday road.........

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Take a ride on the west coast (kick)
Holiday road.........
Holiday road.........

I found out long ago

It's a long way down the holiday road
Holiday road.........
Holiday road.........

Holiday road.........
Holiday road.........


This is from memory of having watch it with my kids several hundred times

"Holiday Road" is sung by Lindsay Buckingham (of Fleetwood Mac).
