Holiday Road!
 
ALRIGHTY - I was driving the two sheeps (my Scotties for the unlearned :laugh: ) home from the beauty parlor today when, of all things, Holiday Road comes on the radio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WELL - Laine and Wynn (ee the pooh) barked along with the Arf Arf Arf - Arf Arf Arf part!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact, Wynn (ee the pooh) actually howled to the latter part!!!!!

Oh Well, I guess even Scotties know good music when they hear it :cool:

I tend to wonder, if that is an american thing. These two songs (Holiday Road and Dancing across T USA) do absolutely nothing to me. Which is quite an exception when it comes to Mr. B.
I remember a while ago as we discussed them over here some non US ledgies said they didn`t like them too much whereas a lot of US ledgies always have at least HR on their highlight list.
Even the US dogs get crazy about it- what`s up with it- is there a hidden message on the US copies only, if you play it backwards? :lol:

LOL -Its backmasking (sp.?) :laugh: remember that religious right movement in the late 70's early 80's. I remember by religion teacher playing "Tom Sawyer" by Rush backward by hand on the TURNTABLE ( :eek: my age :laugh: ) the part that goes "catch the myth . . . " very loosely sounded like "Satan will strike Satan will strike Satan will strike" I mean even he (and he was a nut) did not believe it :laugh:

As for Holiday Road - it is a silly song - but I love it for that - it just makes me happy happy happy to here it!!!!! :cool:

Well I think I can speak for many when I say I didn't know HR was by Lindsey for the longest time. I just thought it was so cool that Lindsey sang that song from the Vacation movies that as you say all us americans love :laugh: It takes years of fandom for most of us to realize that's Lindsey :laugh:

Lol
 
How cute about the pups barking along!

"Holiday Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad....holiday roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad."

It's a fun sing-a-long song, a great driving song. Also, it's the song that brought me to Lindsey, so it has sentimental value. :)

Yes! I love Holiday Road too. I have a cute story to go along with it too. I made a compilation CD of my favorite Lindsey songs and I put Holiday Road on there. One day I was taking my two nieces to the movie. They are 7 and 5. So I had my Lindsey CD in and Holiday Road came on. My neices loved it! They kept singing and everytime it ended they told me to play it again. I think we played it probably 20 times. My seven year old neice would say to me "I can't hear you singing, sing louder." So I had to keep singing. She also said, "You have to put this on CD for me! Please make me a CD with this song!" She is so funny.

And on a side note - her other favorite song is "My Little Demon." My brother made her a CD with that song on it, but according to her, "Her sister ruined the CD so I have to make sure to keep all CDs away from the little sister!" I also made her a CD and put "Cathouse Blues" on there which she absolutely loves and plays over and over again.

You can speak for me! I loved the movies growing up & always thought the song was cool, but never realized it was LB until after my Mac obsession started in the late 90's. :nod:

Same here. I'd always loved the song but had no idea it was by Lindsey. One day - I think it was 1998 or 1999 and I was becoming a huge fan - I saw his name on the credits when it was playing on TBS and about passed out. lol

I adore the song. So fun and catchy. One of my favorites.

Speaking of this song, how neat is the cover version on Nancys site, right now! I wonder if it's the sort of version, LB would like to have played had he been in a punk rock band :laugh:
