Have just copied this from my post on the yellow board a few days ago, got a couple of replies!
This song from the aclaimed Holland album means pure sunshine and happy days to me, as much as California Girls ever did. Anyone who has travelled the highway one with this song playing knows exacltly what I mean. Very well written by Mr Jardine, and Mikes vocals are amongst the best he has ever done. Some real cool background harmonies with some complex interplay with the voices, screaming at you play the track over and over again, either on its own or as part of the triology on the album. I can never understand whay this was not a "bigger" hit than it was either here or in the USA. We all know Al is putting an updated versionon his new album, and that he is trying to better the original (if that is possible). If it is half as good as the Holland version I will be more than pleased. For those Ukulele players out there (and I know there are a few) give this song a go! On my way to sunny Californiayyyyyy. Gess you can tell I love this song.
