OTHER ONES - HOLLIDAY

[ShermanWestlake]

If you ever have the chance to buy this album, buy this album. It's loaded with great songs. This was a terrific band. I'm sorry they didn't achieve superstardom.

[ShermanWestlake]

This song always brightens my mood.



[aramanth]

This song is VERY similar to 15 Story Halo by ABC from their Zillionaire album which came out a year before.

[barba1010]

12 do not like holidays

[KelleyJoslynvr644]

najo ich bin total naja wie soll ich sagen reich

[Slaterator]

A clssic tune ! I love it !

[QuattroDom]

I think the song absolutely amazing .. must be the song of my last vacation with my girlfriend thinking! was the best holiday ... EVER

[mito66]

A great party tune from my University days. Look - they're smiling!  It's almost like they're having...fun! Remember when performers had fun?

The sax really makes this song.

[wphb66]

Also used as the theme song for the Travel World Radio Show 1997-1998

[DonnaTypes01]

Thanks so much for posting... parts of this song have been intermittently drifting in my head for a number of years but I could not fully remember the song or who performed it. I finally googled the lyrics I could remember and came upon this posting. Thank you for restoring this piece of memory for me and giving be back a song a truly loved from back in the 80s. Its truly appreciated.

[niceday237]

Der absolute Nr.1 Urlaubs- und Gute-Laune-Hit.

Die deutsch-australische Band weckt in mir Erinnerungen an "Hollidays"

in Australien,die ich nie vergessen werde........

[Mahakala80]

awesome....

[Mercury973]

OMG this is my fave song of the 80s. I still have it on 45. Thanks for uploading it.

[DaveWollenberg]

The OOs hit #29 in Billboard, 10-17-87. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[nazb2]

6:34 it so fucking early!

[Schtang777]

that was my cat 'Inkie' in the clip & oh  my brother.

[ubuyisell]

Still love listening to the entire album...

[KrysVanMichel]

Das war damals ein Hammer Lied. Bisher kein cover von dem Lied vorhanden!

[MrPaulDuncan]

Music use to be this good and this simple. What happened to the goodness of the 80's and 90's?

[TroyRejholec]

You can download the whole album on Amazon for 6.99. It is a lot cheaper than paying 40 dollars or more for the CD. What a great find. Enjoy!

[grumpybear35]

It's on itunes for 69 cents!!

[bnegs521]

@grumpybear35 That much huh>? I was thinkin more like 14.

[TuxedoRay]

I was looking for the name of this band for over 20 yrs. was recently thinking it was done by chumbawumba. XD

[SirSleezy]

I love this ladies voice

[WhopBobbaLuBop]

Here's a quiz, haggy72: how many 'l's are in Holiday?

[wastl700]

The Lady's hairdo is great...

[Jamiethehamster]

1987 rocked!! This song rocked!! Love it.

[ringelenstein]

Boy, this was on Sky Channel with Ronny's Video race, and Super Channel with that pointy haired guy. Those were the days, kewl clip!

[WildBill6942]

Music today is dead.

[kenburke61]

Thanks haggy72 for posting this. It is awesome!!

[gfschoone]

I didnt know Vin Diesel could sing. That woman is sooooo beautiful. Other women, take note. :)

[GloriainFlorida]

I feel like I have been looking for this song forever. The only thing that stuck in my head was his bass line Another Holiday and I never knew the name of the group. So Happy I found this!!

[RagingSka]

This is what music was like the year I was born.

No wonder i'm so awesome.

[Nate2203]

fuck you patton oswalt

[orangeActiondotcom]

80s rock isn't rock, hope this helps.

[Icestad]

poor patton

[AngryLeroy]

@Icestad LOL! You follow him too, eh? I concur. Not a good song to get stuck in your head.

[zejb8]

haha... snail mail

[imcoop]

Thank you for posting this-I was in high school when this song came out-good times!!!

[southport97]

Vin Diesel!

[TheSaskiaLady]

Hammer Lied :-D

[Jamiethehamster]

Man this brings back memories! It's a hard song to find and I love it. Have loved it since I heard it in 1987 and taped it off the radio!

[Urmel64]

Früher war es bessere Mukke als heute,da gab es wöchentlich neue megastarke songs like this.Tja pech,ich hab die Zeit mit gemacht es war toll,geile tanzbare Musik und heute? Covervisionen ala Scotter.Michael Jackson war in den 80 igern nur Einer von Vielen.Seinen ersten nr.1 Somg in Deutschland gelang ihm erst 1995 als die Musik schlechter worde.Heute wird Er als King of Pop tituliert,dabei war er nur Einer von Vielen in den 80 igern!

[basilbean]

I have the 45 record of this song. It has probably since not long after 1987 when I last heard this song.

[1richardframe]

Boy...this brings great memories back to me! Wish I could go back & live it all again!!!!

[stevations]

SOOOOOO much better than that damn Madonna. "Holiday" song.

[Blotgrin]

dto. ^^

[The9Legend]

Getsern bei der Chart Show gehört :=)

[Doobie1975]

Great song, should've climbed a lot higher than #29 on the Billboard charts that's for sure, did this song ever get a lot of airplay on MTV and WTBS's Night Tracks?

[xTheFutureisOursx]

What happened to this kind of quirky, nonsensical upbeat kind of music? I miss the 80's but at least there's plenty of good stuff easily accessible form that time period.

[zagnut36]

You know what I grew up in that Decade I graduated high school in 87 and I have to say those were the days nothing will ever compaire to It BIG HAIR BAD FASION AND GRATE MUSIC LOL

[johnnyjohnson]

Great, feel good song!

[baraxor]

I've always loved this song...aural caffeine!

Thanks!

[musicomano6973]

Esta canción no fue difundida para nada en La Paz, Bolivia, además creo que no hubiese gustado. Tema desconocido. Saludos desde las alturas.

[musicomano6973]

Esta canción no fue difundida para nada en La Paz, Bolivia. Tema desconocido. Saludos desde las alturas.

[94cadillacfleetwood]

I remember hanging out at TCBY with my '79 Caprice stationwagon and a whole crew and this song would always be on!

[4string59]

Ahh! One of those great, catchy numbers that make you feel fantastic whenever you hear 'em! Loved this!

[007norway]

Distant lands are not so far away I don't know why we don't go take my hands I'll show you the way pack your bags and sail away

[ShermansAlley]

Fantastic song from a fantastic album. It's a shame the Other Ones never became superstars, because they had the talent.

[rolando0572]

@enthusiasm680

hey man thsi site is awesome

[pogoboy893]

greatest blond ever .......cincinnati kid of 1968 courter tech high

[bluedoo12]

One of the most underrated 80s hits. Unfortunately they don't play it on the radio...cause they don't know it. :-(

[eIeCtroChoC]

i love this song!

[RedEyedKitteh]

I loved this whole tape. I had the cassette :) I have tried to find this tape/cd/something for years! I am so happy to have found this so I could remember for a minute how fickin great the music from my high school/college days was. Geesh...just cant believe I dressed like that back then (these jeans and Ts have to go!)

[Niceguyaustria]

I think she sounds like Blondie alias Debbie Harry. :)

[skykingx12]

another great song

[hooliiisdewayne]

What a wonderful summer song.

[Cuddlynutbear]

anyone remember this song? Such a b ad video, but great song

[gizmokc]

the whole album rocked!

[jazzica99]

hammergeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­il

[margelip]

I still blast this song the moment I leave on a holiday (or "vacation" as it's called in America!)

[EnglishAirship]

But "White Rabbits" isn't from the 80's! It's from 1967. It is a typical Woodstock song.

[Urmel64]

Perfect Hit 80 th.It was a great time of Popmusic.I missed the wundervoll Music.I hate Rap,Hip hop.I loved this song!!

[CJMS1966]

A Blast from the Past!

I haven't thought of this song for 25 years!... Memories of summertime...driving to the beach wih college friends... vacations at Myrtle Beach... just the youthful feeling that everything was possible...

Now at 44... the years are mounting up... but that flashback to my youth is priceless. Thanks for posting the vid!

CJ

[BeanangelTreon]

awesome tune even when I am between apocalyptic duties

[cullumab]

I wish there was a download available on iTunes

[Heegoop]

@cullumab So do I, I was thinking about playing this song when I do my DJing at pool parties.

[seibold731]

This song rules!!!

[Heegoop]

@seibold731 Damn right it rules.

[seibold731]

I love this song.

[seibold731]

This song is awesome!!! 80's ruled

[Heegoop]

@seibold731 The 80s ruled indeed. There is no decade more awesome than the 80s.

[SirSleezy]

I remember listening to this on a radioshack boombox with cassette back on KISS 101 back in the 80s, sigh i am old

[memimo69]

I love this song...and yes, those were the days!!

[harderizbetter]

Last time I heard this song was back in late 1987 in Heilbronn, Germany where I WAS station at Wharton Barracks (U.S.Army), I loved the song then and I still love it today.

[cantonrunner]

Love this song. . . now if only i could buy the song or find the cd!!

[bluedoo12]

@cantonrunner

I don't know where you can buy the cd but just search for "The Other Ones" on grooveshark and you can listen to "Another Holiday" anytime. I can't post the link, sorry

[zardozqq]

love the lyrics

[NBremer78]

I love the 80´s. Today I've heard this song radio. Nice memories :)!!!

[bluedoo12]

So sad they don't play this song anymore on the radio. It should also be on the playlist of every 80s night. But these so called DJs nowadays don't even know(!) this fine track I bet.

[eekekeke]

@bluedoo12 Check out .977 The 80s channel. This track, and many other amazing 80s songs are on their playlist.

[kspz7653]

OOOOH....U know it!

[19porridge72]

I love the song!!I was on my so far away holidays in Australia (my Dreamland) and I enjoyed this time!!

[southerncop]

Why can't this song be bought in the USA for under $80.00?

[vonratt]

This is classic Euro-trash 80s pop! I love it!

[latinguy67]

fabulous song!  Marthat Quinn played it today on XM. Kinda reminds me of Mari Wilson's music.

[wydeye]

Our favourite song on honeymoon 1987!

[The096757]

where is we are what we are?

[Schtang777]

That's my brother in the clip and my cat I had in the 80's

[M1903A1]

That's one handsome cat!

[Martinofredwall100]

Those were days in 1987!

[gizmokc]

hell, I'm showing my age, but I don't care, this was my favorite song when I was stationed in Germany!

[IceToFrozen]

Echt ein geiles Lied und eine coole Stimme! ;-)

[rbander238]

Ok all! You can now download this fine song on iTunes in the USA. :-)

[williebangr]

80's rock can not be appreciated unless you were living it. I remember listening to this track often after I taped it on a cassette from the radio

[MaskedMan66]

@williebangr Actually, I know a lot of teens and younger kids who love 80's music.

[williebangr]

@MaskedMan66

Loving it and living it are two different things. 80's music brings me back to a better time right before the boom of cell phones and IPods. Kids nowadays arent kids, they are techno drones that hardly play outside because they would rather stare at a phone and text. How many fat kids did you know back then? You could count them on one hand. Oh, thats right, we werent p.c. back then either, so too bad if you tubbies dont like that last comment.

[MaskedMan66]

@williebangr Modern tech may be a current contributor to obesity, but it's scarcely the cause, and in answer to your question, I knew a lot of fat kids in the 80's. There are people (and they don't have to be teens either) who will always find some way to avoid exercise, whether it's watching T.V. or listening to records or even reading.

Sloth has been an enemy of the human race since time immemorial.

[newwavepop]

@williebangr i highly disagree with that. great music from one of the two most creative and important pop culture decades of all time should be easilly appreciated for generations to come.

[SealSoul]

@williebangr did the same. I wish I still had the tapes I recorded.

[rbander238]

Not sure if anyone else has done this. I went ahead and contacted the iTunes people and asked them to add this to iTunes USA. It is on iTunes Germany now.

[pixierawls]

I was able to find it on iTunes Germany but buying it is a different story. I was able to translate but then it is saying I need a valid german credit card. I thought visa and mastercard worked throughout the world.

[Giacass2]

The slippered feet and hairy arms belong to my father

[BeanangelTreon]

at :57 I think the "s"haved head person is beong like a Q person being rude to the right hand path I think Q persons should be required to document plus publish the purposes as well as methods of their actions

[abbaluvr3]

When will they puit this on Itunes????

[ebob1967]

Or Amazon?

[pixierawls]

It is on Amazon but since the album is no longer available, the cost is about $84 to purchase.

[Beanangel300]

Aqua could cover this They are more than just a Barbie band

[weissbierwilli]

grandios!!!

[bayernfan1960]

BIG HAIR !!!!!

[Kodemaster]

Thank you for posting this video. I have been looking for it since the 80s!

[JUANITO762]

Best video about holidays!! I just love it!!

[MrAntares71]

I'll take a trip tomorrow. golden sands, beach, sun and chics. It's my holydays!

[M1903A1]

I cannot believe this was just a one-hit-wonder in the States. Such an infectious song!

[writchey1]

Wonderful!! Thanks for posting..love the 80s..showing my age.

[76gremlinguy]

MAN! what great song, I don't think anyone to cover this song could ever do it justice. The album this came off of was excelent as well...just wish I could find it :P

[TheMisfit1965]

This song bring back memories.

[provobastard]

ah i was a young man from ireland interrailing around europe taking pot shots at british squaddies in bases in germany and the whole german police force was looking for us in the summer of 87 never got us

[Reblaus80]

So ein geiles Lied.

Nach Jahren hab ich es endlich gefunden nach dem ich es alle Jahre mal im Radio gehört habe und nie wußte wie es hieß.

Ich liebe es !!!!

[skinbulle]

great!!!

[KoRnflake4711]

Nach vielen Jahren suchen heute morgen zufällig im Radio gehört und endlich wieder gefunden.

[BasswipeNC]

The song "We are what we are" was a great tune.

[ihavestage4coolness]

i love sirius playlist history, this song was better higher ELLEEEEEVVVVVVOOOOOOOO !!!

[drxcreatures]

I like this song. It's been in my mentality for years. :)

[zzzman87]

heard this on xm 80s channel.. vaguely remember it.. but its really cool,, lots of fun... what a great sound they had

[vjs0902]

wow!! I heard this song on Sirius 1st wave this weekend. I was 14 year old, brings good memories. I remember singing to it all the time. Love it!! Too bad itunes doesn't have it.

[ioann2]

Great Song 87 Danielson CT Great times !

[rj202673]

This is one of my all time favorite songs from the 80's. I wish istore had it so I could have it on my ipod.

[filmfreak001]

I hear this song, and I´m 4 years again

[NeroRedgrave]

Genialer Song. Seit Jahren den Titel gesucht und endlich gefunden.

[jpwcpa]

One of the most fun-sounding songs of the 80's. Nice to see there was a video for it. Thanks for the good-quality capture, haggy72

[13101988andoni]

nice,nice,nice...

[youdrankwhat]

Swedish Egil played this on Sirius 22 yesterday and I just had to find it online. Too bad a used CD of the album runs $75+ so the youtube version will have to suffice.

Great production sound on this track, kinda reminds me of 15 Story Halo by ABC.

[kloboom]

Just heard this on satellite radio and hand to come you tube it. Hadn't heard this song in a decade. Thanks to all who post neat stuff like this.

[ottomobiehl]

Love this song. Used to hear it on the radio all the time back in '87 while at work. This is the first time I saw the video.

Sigh, makes me miss the 80s.

[voguester]

I got my first car at 15 when this song came out

[cedriclovesaaron]

this reminds me of 1987 in San Diego.

[wlt777]

I love how the female singer's voice sounds! I haven't heard this GREAT song in such a long time!

[ShermansAlley]

I hear this song, and I'm 18 again.

[Japandrifting]

that bald dude looks like vin diesel

[6971H4RD]

omG i looVe it

[kalandin]

So glad to find this here. I saw this the first time in 1987 on Richard Blade's MV3 program on channel 9 (KHJ) in the LA area. Fortunately, it's on one of his Flashback Favorites CDs so I've had the song for years.

And yes, Buggy767, straight 42 year old professional males can enjoy good music. I'm still trying to figure out why you wouldn't think so.

[theSTAR70]

i remeber that show !!! before Richard Blade, the show was hosted by a guy/girl duo who were pretty funny

[zod65]

Thanks so much for posting this video I heard this song for the first time in several years on XM radio channel 44-first wave

[buggy767]

Should I be embarrased to admit that as a 42 year old professional straight male, I still love this song?

;-)

I remember seeing it for the 1st time on MTV's program called "120 Minutes" back in the late 1980's.

I tried to find this song on iTunes so I could purchase it, but it is not there. Bummer.

Thanks for posting!

[80smusic4ever]

Got you topped, pal. I will be 44 shortly and, although I'm not nearly as stereotypically masculine as I would like to be, I am very, very heterosexual. Much to my wife's chagrin. . . .

These guys were great. Too bad they didn't stick around very long. Even worse that the remnants of The Grateful Dead took the same name.

[Llanovanya]

the guy in this video looks like vin diesel :D

love this song

[princesscheekylady]

I really like the song "we are what we are " too. I cant find it on you tube.

[glibsporass]

i love scuchtern.big time!!

[scabbybill]

Love it!!! Takes me back to 8th grade riding the bus home from school. :)

[TheJellybean66]

First saw this video on TBS back in the day when they used to show videos on Friday's late at night. Don't know why but I loved this song then and I love it to this day...Thanks for posting this!

[primitiv22]

Can't quit living/listening to the 80's... thanks for posting this classic

[limahl81]

i really love this video,is wonderful!

[randybass42]

I saw this video once when it came out, and for unknown reason remember this well to this day. I also remember the bari sax honking away in the background. Amazing what sticks.

[lovedastench]

I thought they were swedish. Anyhow itunes doesn't have this song.

[Kooky18a31p]

It`s a german production

[Uggy107]

so what?

[Uggy107]

@ kooky

[Schuessi74]

Great German 80's Production

5 Stars

[62reasons]

"We Are What We Are" - does anyone have a link to their video.

Regrettably, I saw if a few times from a German poster. Drat!

Great song (this one) ;  but "We Are What We Are" was massive!

22 years ago - does anyone have a link to it and the handsome Klimek crew (family members in the band).

Thanks in-advance!

[Mxjtro]

Very good song,80's for ever..

[glibsporass]

this song stays with me.boy is she hot!
