All These Bee Gee songs are going out to Geoff Pollock who requested. Holiday is a song released by the Bee Gees. It was not released as a single in their native United Kingdom as Polydor UK released the single World from their next album Horizontal, but was released in the United States in September 1967. It appeared on the album Bee Gees 1st[2] The songs flipside was Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You in the US but Red Chair, Fade Away was used in other territories.[1] The song is haunting, even eerie, having been composed primarily in a minor key with a strong orchestral presence. Brothers Barry and Robin Gibb who also wrote the song share lead vocals. There was also a promo video made for this song. The song remained a concert favourite for over 30 years, and Maurice Gibb often provided the audience with comedic antics by attempting many failed attempts to join Barry & Robin while singing this song. Evidence of this can be seen in a 1989 One for all Tour concert video where Maurice takes a camera from a film cameraman standing nearby and films Barry and Robin as they sing the song. The song was recorded during the same session as To Love Somebody around April 1967.[3] Singer Claudine Longet covered the song on her 1968 LP Love Is Blue. American rock singer Ian Lloyd covered the song on his 1979 LP Goose Bumps. In 1979, the short-lived R&B/Disco group Moulin Rouge covered it as well as other early Bee Gees songs. The song was prominently featured in the Korean films Nowhere to Hide and Holiday.
