“Holiday”, the third single release from Madonna’s
debut album, proved that the third time is indeed a
charm. The song
climbed all the way to #16 on the Hot 100, giving Madonna her first mainstream top
40 hit. "Holiday" was also her first of many singles to peak at #1 on the Club
Play chart, staying put
for a staggering five weeks. In fact, the dance hit is tied with "Music"
for spending the most weeks at
#1 out of
all Madonna's singles to appear on the Club Play chart.
The
song remains a Madonna staple even today and is in fact one of her personal
favorites. It is the
only song
that she has performed in each and every of her concert tours. The song’s lyrics are
childishly
simple but are irresistibly fun and catchy.
With a great beat and the unforgettable chorus
line “if
we took a holiday, took some time to celebrate, just one day out of life, it would
be, it would
be so
nice”, it’s no wonder the song is now a pop classic.
A video was shot for the 1983
release of the song, but for some reason was never released. Later, a
video was attached to the song, taken from a live
performance during 1990’s Blonde Ambition Tour.
The same footage can also be
seen in Madonna’s 1991 documentary, Truth or Dare.
