Wow, we just added it to our xmas songs, and I thought we were kinda breaking some unwritten xmas song rules. Glad to see others in our camp. Its sooo good. We will all be listening to some random xmas song ... then this comes on and suddenly all everyone in the room is bopping up and down.. music is magic. Merry Life
I play this song on New Year's Day every year the song makes me incredibly happy. Plus like you said, that's if I'm saying goodbye to the holiday and on to the new year
I love this song❤❤❤ I remember the first time I heard it, I was watching National Lampoon's Vacation. It's too bad all dysfunctional families aren't that kind of fun🤣🤣🤣🤣
On the way to my funeral I want to be on the roof of the hearse under a tarp, sitting upright in a chair. The hearse should be a mint green Family Truckster.
@@sspaay I haven't seen the video until now and wow, the song is even more amazing in my mind, because the color of the song is dark, but the tone is light. Does it make sense? Until now, I had only heard the tone and it made me happy, then I saw the video and realized the song was "sarcastic" and in that way, made it perfect for the movie Vacation. I read somewhere that Harold Ramis was blown away by how accurately the song described his movie when he first heard it. Without seeing the video, can you tell the song was meant to be dark?
Thanks for weighing-in on this one. Glad to have you on-board with this old classic! Was just married when the “National Lampoon Vacation” movie came out. Some fond old memories associated with this song. Check out the movie if you haven’t already. I’ll bet you’ll enjoy it just as much as the song!
In 2017, I packed my wife and two kids, 5 and 3, into a minivan and drove from Halifax, Canada to Miami, Florida and back again in two and a half weeks. We drove, lived and slept in the minivan. On the last day - the home stretch - this song came on the radio. It was unreal. What are the chances? In fact, I've never heard it on the radio before or since. It was my Clarke Griswold moment.
"Sorry, folks! We're closed for two weeks to clean and repair America's favorite family fun park. Sorry, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!" *Punches Marty Moose*
Lindsey Buckingham is one of the geniuses of his era that doesn't get enough recognition. People that knew Fleetwood Mac know of his skills, but the larger music community rarely talks about him.
This song is the epitome of 80's cheese and there's no way I can sing it without becoming ridiculously happy. This song always puts me into a great head space.
I play this song every time i take my 5 kids on a vacation/outing.....I get the occasional eye roll...but always catch em humming this tune later in the day
God, ease our suffering in this, our moment of great despair. Yea, admit this kind and decent woman into thy arms of thine heavenly area, up there. And Moab, he lay us upon the band of the Canaanites, and yea, though the Hindus speak of karma, I implore you: give her...give her a break. Baruuuuuuch Ataaaaaaah Aluuuuuuuyah...
I just watched Vacation, European Vacation, and Vegas Vacation for the first time. Thank you very much, Griswolds, for getting this song stuck in my head.
@@CaptainGibz You gotta give Christmas Vacation credit for introducing many of us to the National Lampoon Vacation CU and thus, this song. Well, that was the case for me anyway. I sure there must be others.
The producers originally wanted Fleetwood Mac to come up with a theme song for the movie, but the band was "on a break" (as they say in the biz) at the time. So they settled for one member of the band instead.
The song is so closely associated with the movie that what might get overlooked is that it’s a really good and interesting pop tune, showcasing Buckingham’s unique 80s “Post New Wave meets The Beach Boys” style. He really had his own sound, which also sometimes got diluted by the collaborative nature of Fleetwood Mac.
@@StephenJohnson-jb7xe Diluted: to make or become less concentrated. Meaning, in Fleetwood Mac it wasn’t just his material. There were three singer/songwriters in the band, not to mention the creative input of drummer and bassist. It wasn’t all his own vision. It was shared.
Man I remember these days cutting trails all through the woods all day, riding dirt bikes, building ramps, & seeing movies like Cannonball Run and Vacation ~ the Summers were heaven
Nowadays, Fleetwood Mac will never have a reunion after Christine's passing in 2022 as Stevie stated that in a recent interview. And all the members including Stevie herself has to move on. Plus Lindsey Buckingham got fired from Fleetwood Mac and was replaced with Mike Campbell from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (after Petty's death) and Neil Finn from Crowded House.
@Daniel Olortegui It really has a lot to do with how popular National Lampoons vacation was, the song wasn't really that popular until the film. Add to how many times it was shown on TV every single summer!..still is...
I'll always fondly remember my dad playing this song when we went on holiday driving through France on route to Spain. It's imprinted upon my childhood holiday memories. Such happy times in the 90's.
People in 80s: i wonder if the music video will be a christmas one or a road trip song?! Buckingham: corporate soul sucking office where you need a vacation so bad blue caracuea pours out of a cooler.
This song puts millions to shame. Like the chorus at 0:23 is phenomenal. I suck and hate dancing, but even this song makes me wish i was living in the 80s dancing with my girl.
Sounds like Falco , who came 1st LB or Falco ? I like what the teens on stage dancing BieberHats backward rehearsing for Houston City Hall uhm Holiday Spectacular , was wondering why this silly Music from weird 80s oh only thing could find that said Holiday instead of Christmas , 'cause was Holiday Spectacular including muslim and hindu so no Christmas words oh , wait , uhm what was the Holiday Originally For ?
This is also nostalgic for me I grew up loving this film and my dad is much much older than me he had me very late and I can even remember him loving it and laughing with me beautiful
Oh, to be a fly on the wall at this meeting... Record Exec: “It’s a great track, Lindsey. But it’s missing something... Not sure what.” LB: “What about a dog barking to the beat at the end for no reason?” Exec: “Genius! You’ve done it again!”
I think the reason why was because of the Fairlight synthesizer which was a BIG deal at the time. It was the first sampling keyboard that came out in the early 80's and they were VERY expensive. Some artists wanted to show off that they had one, so they would put some weird sample sound in a song.. (Michael Jackson, Peter Gabriel, Yes, etc) all had one.
No matter what people will say about who the real talent in Fleetwood Mac was/is. We will always hear this song with one of the most classic of 80's nostalgia.
How can this man's name not be a national treasure... he's beautiful,can sing his ass off,has wrote, collaborated, directed some of the best songs in history....was one of the better parts of one of the best band's in history
Me: : plays this whilst making dinner : Eldest son : comes in kitchen, shocked : "THIS IS A REAL SONG?!" Me: : blinks : "Uhm... yeh...?" Eldest son: "I thought it was just some shxt from commercials!"🐾
Cousin Vicki:I'm going steady, and I French kiss. Audrey: So, everybody does that. Cousin Vicki: Yeah, but Daddy says I'm the best at it. The. Best lines !
Living in KY, my grandpa would take my cousins and little brother to holiday world. This song always takes me back to those hills. 5 of us piled in a Mitsubishi eclipse.
I have never heard music in my dreams before but I just woke up from a late nap, and this song was playing clear as day right before I woke up. I probably haven't heard this song in 15+ years, my parents use to always make it a ritual to watch the family vacation movies during the holidays. Definitely a new favorite pick me up song

The ultimate anthem for road trips and summer vacations, all thanks to Clark Griswold's legendary quest for FUN across America with his family.
It's not officially Christmas in my house until this song is played. It's been this way since the 80's and will remain that way :)
How can this man's name not be a national treasure... he's beautiful,can sing his ass off,has wrote, collaborated, directed some of the best songs in history....was one of the better parts of one of the best band's in history
He is stunningly beautiful. And sooo talented. He is extremely underrated.
@@emilybolognese1056Lindsey Buckingham is one of the most highly regarded musicians of all time. Underrated? Nah
We just discovered this song after watching the Vacation movie with the family this Christmas. We ❤ it!!!!
Was Lindsey Buckingham with Fleetwood Mac?
It's a great song anytime!! And I think he was at one time part of Fleetwood Mac
Me: : plays this whilst making dinner :
Eldest son : comes in kitchen, shocked : "THIS IS A REAL SONG?!"
Me: : blinks : "Uhm... yeh...?"
Eldest son: "I thought it was just some shxt from commercials!"🐾
“Clark, have you lost your mind? Where did you get that?”
“Sporting goods store, honey.”
The "oh oh oh ohhhhhhh" woman singing in the background reminds me so much of Olivia Newton John.
Sometimes* I just listen to this song 20 times in a row on repeat
*most weeks
Right there with you.
Hahaha me too 😂❤
Which is what I'm doing right now
Me too
Doing it now😊
I am 44 years old and love Fleedwood Mac and Lindsey’s Solo work as well. It’s the kind of music that speaks to your heart
I did not expect this as the official video. I have the National Lampoon's visuals in my head so much I can't think of it any other way.
"Gee Dad, you must have jumped the car 50 yards!"
"Thats nothing to be proud of Rusty............ehp 50 yards"
What a great film
Shut up, Russ...
😅😅😅
The best line of the movie I'm laughing my ass off right now thank you
😅excellent
I was this second old when I realized Lindsey Buckingham sang this song I’ve heard for 40 years. How is that possible???
Same.
Me too! I know the song so well but never knew who sang it lol gen x here
I thought it was Kenny Loggins then said "oh yeah" after seeing this. Your memory is the second thing to go...
Holy hell in a handbasket. i’m 46, massive National Lampoons AND fan of Fleetwood Mac/ Lindsey Buckingham and NEVER KNEW HE SANG THIS SONG 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Never knew this was lindsey Buckingham! That is just awesome! My favorite artist and one of my favorite movies
I love Lindsey Buckingham too!❤❤❤
This song reminds me of how much I love my family. I have the soul of Clark Griswold. 😀
Cousin Vicki:I'm going steady, and I French kiss.
Audrey: So, everybody does that.
Cousin Vicki: Yeah, but Daddy says I'm the best at it.
The. Best lines !

My dad used to make us go on unwanted road trips in the 1980s. And this song was always playing in my head😂
@claire hello, how are you doing? It is nice meeting you here.
Living in KY, my grandpa would take my cousins and little brother to holiday world. This song always takes me back to those hills. 5 of us piled in a Mitsubishi eclipse.
The best looking guy of the whole 1980s, surely! And still looking pretty darn good at 73.
I'm only 25 but man the 80s give me a nostalgia feel for a time I wasn't even born in
National Lampoon's, "Vacation" and now "The Bear". Fourty years apart and STILL a great soundtrack song. ❤❤❤
This song is such an ear worm. Great song.
I love this song. As soon as I book a Vegas vacation it’s played several times a day 😁
I have never heard music in my dreams before but I just woke up from a late nap, and this song was playing clear as day right before I woke up. I probably haven't heard this song in 15+ years, my parents use to always make it a ritual to watch the family vacation movies during the holidays. Definitely a new favorite pick me up song
Lindsay will be eternally grateful to the Vacation films for making this song iconic
You write more even than you think you do, by using the word "eternally" - this is the point of the song, with its special lyrics...
Such happy times back then.
