"Holiday" is a song by the Bee Gees. The song is haunting, even eerie, having been composed primarily in the minor key with a strong organ presence. Brothers Barry Gibb and Robin Gibb who also wrote the song share lead vocals. It was not released as a single in their native United Kingdom as Polydor UK released the single "World" from their next album Horizontal, but was released in the U.S. in September of 1967. It appeared on the album Bee Gees' 1st and also on the Bee Gees first platinum (a million copies sold) album Best of the Bee Gees that was released in 1969. In 1979, the short-lived R&B/Disco group Moulin Rouge covered it as well as other early Bee Gees songs.
The song remained a concert favorite for over 30 years, and Maurice Gibb often provided the fans comedic antics by attempting many failed attempts to join Barry & Robin while singing this song. The song was prominently featured in the Korean film Nowhere to Hide and Holiday. (Wikipedia)
