It's the dog barking at the end of the song that gets me every time.

I love this song, but love "Trouble" just a bit more.

This song has ruined ever looking at a 253 bus without thinking "Holloway rrroooooaaaaaoowwwoooaaadd"

wtf?! is that a mistake, or did they tack a limp bizkit song onto the end of the sountrack? either way, does this song actually exist? has anyone heard it?

Lingbertt, Tuesday, 2 August 2005 06:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes!!! This is a real song!!! And it is not actually Holloway RooooOOOOooooOOOOoooooOOOOOad as we have always sung it, but still.

Masonic Boom (kate), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 07:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Are you sure? where did you hear it? apparently, the info on amazon is a typo, and the song is actually by some pop-punk kinda band called Limp and not Limp Bizkit.

http://limpbizkit.com/board/limpbizkit/viewtopic.asp?topicID=1577805

a few other sites say something similar.

Also, I could find the Limp version on slsk, but not the supposed Limp Bizkit version.

"holiday road" is still my most-played track on audioscrobbler, thanks to that time i left it (and "xanadu") on repeat all night.

there is always the kinks' "holloway jail." one of my favorites of theirs!

stockholm cindy (from norway) (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 08:49 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm rather relieved that Limp Bizkit have not covered this song.

This thread got me listening to the song again. I hadn't heard it in years! So classic. I've had it on repeat.

great great song, my band and I are just learning it so we can incorporate it into our set, it's nothing like any of our other stuff though, but I just love it, it makes me smile widely every time I hear it ...

it mentions rumours :

Two kinds of people in this world
winners, losers
I lost my power in this world
because I did not use it
And I go insane
like I always do
And I call your name
She's alot like you

Two kinds of things in this world
living, dying
I lost my power in this world
and the rumours are flying

And I go insane
like I always do
And I call your name
she's alot like you

That's not "Holiday Road". Where's the dog barking?

It's mind-numbingly simple, but hopelessly addictive. and utterly genius. I want it played at my funeral.

I went through a big Lindsey Buckingham kick last year, and started making a two-cd anthology of his best songs, Buckingham/Nicks, Fleetwood Mac and solo stuff. But of course Holiday Road holds a hallowed spot. But those songs of his on Tusk! Oooh!!

This song keeps appearing in my head for literally no reason. For the past 15 years. At weekly intervals.

Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 6 February 2008 21:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Version by Darren Hayman of Hefner. Not that good unfortunately.

Raw Patrick, Wednesday, 6 February 2008 22:00 (sixteen years ago) link

Reading about the WFMU slowed down take of this reminded me of hearing J. Geils' Centerfold slowed way down, also on 'FMU. I just looked it up and the archive is still there, although I can't listen at work. I recommend it though: http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/22839.

What an awesome song! I didn't know Lindsey Buckingham was the guitar player from Fleetwood mac. His solo stuff is just as good if not better than the Fleetwood mac stuff. Why don't people talk more about this guy? He's like the Rodney Dangerfield of musicians. Anyway, great song and great movie.

I lost my copy of Rumours about a year ago - decided today that enough was enough and bought a new CD. Literally the instant I got back into my car I reached under my seat and found the original. I've heard of emergency copies of Tusk before, feel like I'm breaking new ground here.

i love the cheap-o synth dog barks at the end

As a budding FM fan, this pleases me.

Captain Ahab, Saturday, 20 February 2010 20:51 (fourteen years ago) link

Ismael... did you buy the standard version or the deluxe reissue? The remastered Rumors is one of the few albums I've ever heard where the remastering makes such a gigantic difference (also, it incorporates Silver Spring into the original running order).

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 20 February 2010 22:18 (fourteen years ago) link

Just the standard version, the remaster was three times the price. But I can't honestly imagine the album sounding any better than it does, so now I'm intrigued. (my original disc seems like it might have acquired a couple of skips from lying about on the floor of my car, so not sure if I'll be returning the new cd or not)
