    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.

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?

    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.

      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.

    Fleetwood Mac was and is nothing without Lindsey Buckingham. His albums with Fleetwood Mac are one of the best of time. He can not be replaced.

    I kind of like that it's a dark video. It DOES fit it. The song is not about some family driving across the country in a movie, it's about how work is a prison that keeps us from playing outside.

      Even the place I work has this logo on the stoves where they cook gravy it says : Wolf and has a picture of a red Devil/Satan. Reminds me of the dog barking at the end of this song or that song The dog days are over by Florence + The Machine and also that song back on the chain gang by the Pretenders - Raylene Price
